During today's quarterly financial presentation Funcom presented the initial overview on the planned business model for The Secret World.
At the presentation we revealed that The Secret World will feature a traditional paid subscription model combined with micro-transactions through an in-game store. This information was provided as part of Funcom's financial forecast going forward, and no further details were given due to the fact that we are still working on finalizing the model.
We are very excited about introducing an in-game store already from launch. Being able to integrate the store into the actual design of the game pre-launch gives us opportunities you do not normally get when introducing a store after you have launched a game.
We will be revealing more information about the store at a later date, but what we can say for now is that it will focus mostly on character customisation and convenience items such as clothing - of which The Secret World will offer a ton of variety! As developers we are being very careful in making sure that items purchased through the store does not give players any unfair advantage against those who do not use the in-game store.
Character power in The Secret World will be determined by how well you play the game, not how much money you are willing to put into it.
We look forward to revealing more about the in-game store as we progress towards launch!

"As developers we are being very careful in making sure that items purchased through the store does not give players any unfair advantage against those who do not use the in-game store."
GA i inny taż tak mówili na początku, nie dość że subs to jeszcze itemshop, który zapewne z czasem przerodzi się w "hipermarket".
Oczywiście beta pokaże czy warto grać i płacić, ale sam fakt, że od początku będzie IS dostępny..hmm
Tylko "ciuszki", jasne, poczekajmy kilka miesięcy.
