Is It REALLY A One Time Fee?
November 12th, 2011 -- Posted in Guild wars 2 | No Comments »Will GW2 truly be a one time fee, or will you have to buy things through micro transactions, not necessarily for power, but to experience parts of the game?
And what about expansions, how often will the be made and might you need to pay for them for new features too?
There’s not enough info out there to know what’s available in the cash shops.. But they’ve said numerous times that their approach is to NOT sell power. Which is good.
As far as dungeons, or other things, being sold in the cash shop, i’d expect some of them sure. Majority will be cosmetic, or things for convenience, but won’t make you more powerful, although it’s debatable if you’d relate efficiency with power.
As Armory already stated, ArenaNet have repeated several times that they will not sell gameplay advantages in their in-game store. Expansions or other optional add-ons (such as additional dungeons), yes, we can definitely expect those. They will definitely create expansions that you can buy to unlock new areas and explore other stuff, but those will all be entirely optional. People who do not own those expansions should still be just as powerful and just as good in the areas they have access to… there will just be areas that they can’t get into. We don’t know anything yet about the frequency of the expansions… I think that also depends on what the community asks for. But on top of that, they will also add lots of free content to the game on a regular basis.
