Ive owned YO since late 2014 and have bought the zealous believer support pack. Will I still have to pay a sub fee to play?
Also I would like to verify that I will receive one mainland ticket since I own YO and the zealous believer pack said an additional 3 so I should be able to make 4 characters in the MMO and take them to the mainland, correct?
Also this store thing kind of scares me. I dont mind being able to buy a few small insignificant items in the store but they must not give a huge advantage or it does become more of a p2p platform. Same with a subscription fee.

You already got free access for buying the game and then you got the game again for buying the believer pack. The store is just cosmetics, and it makes sense for them to sell things if you want to see your game survive.

I think its more your opinion if the game could survive without out a store.
As you can see here the numbers are up. https://www.similarweb.com/website/lifeisfeudal.com
This is mostly likely in anticipation for the next wave coming up and a large number of new players not privy to the first wave or before are coming and probably a lot of new comers as well.
Really it comes down to numbers. And your claim that the game needs a store to survive just doesnt coincide with these numbers.
That said though if the DEVS believe for the continued survival of the game they do indeed need this store than Ill probably end up buying something just like I did with the zeilous believer tier.
All and all I want what everyone wants for this game to live forever but we all know none of them do and the ones that are still around from back in the day like Ultima Online are steadily losing players. If you played UO back in the day when there was 100k players on at once, which you might have. Youll know that there isnt anything close to that today.
Fast forward 15 years from today do you really believe that this game will still be around when the tech in those days will likely make this game completely obsolete just like Ultima Online is now. Back than it was top notch.
Cheers

Use your head man. Nothing is free.

I had a much better reply for you on the whole use your head insult but this one wont get me into trouble. Stop insulting people. Your intelligence is doubtedly that much different than mine. Just because I hadnt thought of something doesnt mean I dont use my head. Do you use yours? Do you like being insulted? Probably not.

Telling you to use your head isn't an insult. It is a directive. Ergo, I'm telling you to take your noggin out of idle and put it into drive.
You started your second reply in this topic by dismissing Wookie's reply as mere opinion and conjecture with no real factual basis behind it. You conveniently ignored the fact that the developers have already made the decision to include a cash shop and a subscription model. Simple deductive reasoning would have told you that the developers obviously believe that these measures are required in order to maintain their game.
I've provided you a more in depth albeit sarcastic explanation as to why these measures are required in order to continue to provide for the development of this title.
Quite frankly you caught the brunt of my rather blunt response because your words give me the impression that you were about to join the ranks of the raving mad men constantly screaming about pay to win.
If you don't fit that definition that you were undeserving of my sarcasm and I apologize. If that does resemble your mindset in any way then I suppose no apology is needed.
Frankly I am appalled at today's gaming environment filled with Free to Play babies who scream bloody murder at the mere suggestion that those who are actually WILLING to pay a subscription not be given any real benefit for doing so. The people who defend the idea of paying a subscription are routinely publicly flogged, eviscerated, burned at the stake, and have their ashes symbolically urinated on for having suggested the heresy of actually paying for a product.
As for either of our intelligence levels, I'd say a large portion of the world is likely wiser, more intelligent, or both than I am. Very intelligent people are still capable of failing to think things through to their logical conclusion. That isn't a reflection of intelligence or education. That is a reflection of how much time someone puts into their thoughts before they express them to others.
