| twesterm said: I know I generally don't care about MAG, but this story is pretty lawl-worthy. This isn't something like FFXI where you buy an extra character slot, it really seems like this is sometihng that should have been there from the start as part of the game. It isn't even enough of an insult that you have to extra for the extra slot, you have to pay every month for it. |
This isn't exactly something new to online shooters. Not even on consoles. MGO, you pay 7 or 8 dollars up front for a new slot. No subbing though.
Second, the reason it's not free is because of the whole loyalty thing. When you start up MAG and create a character, you're with that dude until you've fully ranked up. Then you can VET to another Faction and keep your stats and awards. Only other way is to delete your character which means you lose EVERYTHING. Stats, ribbons, medals and any progress you had on any trophies. Like you're popping in the dics for the first time [minus the fact you have the trophies you've already obtained].
This is like a luxury bonus when you consider the original design of the game, not something essential or should have been in place. It's like DLC that you get by pre-order or special addition that gives you advantage over everyone else. I agree with you if what you meant was that this should have been in the store from launch but not if you mean as a free option in the game.
