I am sure that many others find the subscription system a little bit restricting.

The minimum you can buy is one month, but then it's recurring, so if you want to stop for a while, you have to cancel the sub!

Does SOE have any plans to introduce a 'pay as you go' or 'top up' subscription plan, which will allow players to subscribe for shorter periods of time, and on a non-recurring basis?

Something like this will bring many players back (albeit for short periods of time), simply due to the fact they don't have to fork out a full subscription just to play for a few days or a week, etc.

I doubt they ever will, but it's a good idea. I would like the idea of a "Play Time Card", where you can buy a week's worth of play time for a set amount or something along those lines.

Not with any of our current games, but we will be experimenting with different subscription options with our future games.

Thanks for letting us know!

Looks like I will be gone for quite some time after my current sub is up!
