Feliratkozásos modell
Az Ashes of Creation MMORPG egy feliratkozás alapú játék.[2]
- A havi feliratkozás díja USD $14.99.[3][4]
- Bizonyos régiókban az ottani gazdasághoz "igazított" ára lesz a feliratkozásnak.[5]
- Életre szóló előfizetést élveznek a crowdfunding-ban résztvevő, Braver of worlds vagy annál magasabb szintű támogatók.[6][7]
I think a sub cost provides both the barrier of entry to prevent, some not all, but mitigate some gold selling bots and whatnot because there's a cost associated with playing the game, but it's also not too high that it gets on the greedy side or prevents a lot of players from participating and trying the game; and then if the game is good then people will continue to subscribe and that subscription provides funding and revenue for the developers to continue a significant content creation and expansion rollout for the game.[9] – Steven Sharif
Az Ashes of Creation Apocalypse egy ingyenesen játszható játék.[10][11]
There is no P2W in Apocalypse or the MMORPG![11]
Subscription payment
Intrepid Bucks earned through the Referral program can be used to reduce subscription costs (to zero).[14]
- In-game currency will not be able to be used to purchase subscription time. This may change in the future.[15]
We want to make sure that there's no "interactability" between any type of pay-to-win scenario where our players can exchange those in-game types of currencies to pay for subscriptions.[15] – Steven Sharif
Referral program
Players who refer and invite new players can receive 15% of their account purchases back as Intrepid Bucks.[14]
- This only applies to purchases made with an applicable payment method. Purchases redeemed using Intrepid Bucks are not eligible.[14]
- Personal information, including usernames, are not used for referrals due to privacy constraints.[16]
Referrals require the registration of a new account, either with a personal referral code or via a referral link.[14]
- Referrals cannot be retroactively attached to an existing account.[17]
Intrepid Bucks
Intrepid Bucks are earned through the Referral program. These can be used to:[14]
- Purchase Embers.[18]
- Purchase in-game items from the Kinézeti Bolt.[14]
- Reduce subscription costs (to zero).[14]
- This only applies to the user's own subscription.[16]
- Obtain cash rewards on a quarterly basis after Ashes of Creation has launched.[14]
Bővítmények
DLC kiegészítők (megjelenés utáni kiadások) évente négyszer várhatóak.[19]
- Egy DLC nem fog további pénzbe kerülni, elég a normál feliratkozás.[20][21]
- Az erőszint, a felszerelés, a készség szintek és a szintkorlát növekedni fog a kiegészítők megjelenésekor.[22]
Because of the modularity of a lot of the systems that we're working on, it's not too hard to iterate and implement new things... We're planning on going on a quarterly/ monthly cycle to continue to push out new content.[23] – Jeffrey Bard
The quarterly cycle for the big content is good for us and then, as you said, those modular components to our mechanisms in the game allow for us to introduce smaller content patches that can be seen in real time in the world.[23] – Steven Sharif
We don't intend to a wordsmith around future charge for DLC content. As a subscription model, that's part of the agreement between us as a Studio and you guys: That there will be regularly scheduled updates and chapters; and that subscription is what allows you to access that content.[24] – Steven Sharif
Doboz ár
Az Ashes of Creation-nek nem lesz előre fizetendő doboz-ára.[25]
Pay to win
Az Ashes of Creation nem lesz pay to win.[26]
Ashes of Creation will not be pay to win, that is our pledge to the community. One of the core principles we set forth with Ashes of Creation is a very strong desire to maintain the game's even playing field.[26]
A lot of developers and companies have come along in the past- and I've been hit by this too- and they've said we're not going to have pay-to-win and then boom they roll out some pay-to-win. We have consistently said we won't be pay-to-win and in the pre-orders that we provide and even in the Kickstarter there were absolutely zero pay-to-win components whatsoever. So not only will we talk the talk but we will walk the walk as well.[9] – Steven Sharif
Az extra Készlet helyek, RNG loot box-ok és az XP szerzést növelők pay-to-win-nek számítanak.[27][28][29]
- Több fiók használata, vagy multi-boxolás külön számítógépeken jelenleg nem számít pay-to-win-nek.[27][30][31]
My definition of pay-to-win is really anything that affects the in-game economy, the in-game action pool, your abilities and/or skills... In my opinion the inventory slots and the XP potions would be considered pay-to-win.[28] – Steven Sharif
- Q: Will there be RNG boxes?
- A: I dislike RNG. Archeage made me loath rng monetization gimmicks.[29] – Steven Sharif
Player housing grace period
If a player's subscription runs out, there will be a grace period before player housing is lost.[32]
