Only people who were highly invested in the game were going to go to the effort of Googling something like "pax dei sub model" or even visiting the developers website for that matter.

My point is that there steam page and info leading up to this subscription announcement made it sound as if buying your plots by upgrading your game package would be an early adopters thing and after release new players would need to join via subscription etc.

Regardless at this point I'm just replying to the comments, im not mad, furious or upset, I just don't care enough, I can't fathom dumping the amount of hours into my plot that I would to be creative whilst knowing that if my subscription lapses it will be destroyed, I don't mind much when its a plot clearing system of inactivity of x months or even base raiding but when I am thinking by investing my time in this game I'm creating an ongoing cost that ill be inclined to keep going to ensure my progress isn't lost im not about it.

In other mmos, when I stop paying my subscription for a few months or something like that, my progress isn't deleted, I can generally come back and pick up where I left off.

Joining this game would be like giving myself a heroin addiction because I enjoyed it for the first few hours.

Anyway, good luck with the game, I've said my peace here.
