Pay as you go for subscription MMO question - Blu-ray Forum

Hey guys!

I have a question about MMO games in regards to paying monthly subscriptions, namely how is the game affected if I don't want to pay monthly all the time.

I haven't really been into MMOs, although I did enjoy playing the beta of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (that and it's half off on Steam

).

I have never payed for a subscription based MMO before despite playing some of them. What I am curious is thathow is the game affected if you don't pay the monthly fee? I really can't see myself dedicating to playing the game and justifying paying every month. What I like about playing offline RPGs is that you can play whenever you like obviously, but I am tempted in the cross-play functionality (like the PS4 version with remote play).

I just feel like asking this stupid question. I don't know why I haven't gotten Guild Wars 2.

The quick answer is that you can't play the game. So the price that you paid for the game (For FFXIV and WOW) includes a one month subscription fee. If you do not pay the next fee month, then your service stops and you can not play. It's that simple.

It's different from other free to play titles where they have a monthly fee that gives you boost compared to users who do not pay anything.
