>Just to summarize, if guilds were accessible by F2P accounts, do you feel the F2P subscription tier would be more complete?

Everyone should be F2S: Free to Suffer.

^_^

Don't actually have a strong opinion here. One very important thing to keep in mind is partner reps. I would in all probability get an F2P sorcerer advanced to help my main character master illusions, if he doesn't before then. I actually have an idea in mind for a new sorcerer anyway, it just so happens. I could make it in one of the character slots I already pay for in Premium, but it would be no help for my illusions you see?

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but if you ask me, this sort of behavior is a primary reason F2P doesn't have guild access.

I don't think I agree with rogues or warriors being incomplete without the guilds. I think it's a nice perk to the professions. Scanning active rogues and warriors in game show that many don't have many ranks in the guild.

We definitely review F2P concerns quarterly and see what we can tweak to make the experience a lot better.

<<Finally - give Subscribers the ability to find the F2P items in the Store. I know you don't want to confuse players, but really just some big BOLDED warnings on the item indicating that the item is for FREE TO PLAY ONLY should suffice. Players should be able to buy these items with their own Simucoins to give to friends and family that want to try GS4, but don't want to subscribe.>>

Gifting items in the store is something I'd like to eventually have in place, but will require some pretty significant work on the back end of the store. In the meantime, I believe you can always send a Gift of Adventure to someone which would allow them to buy coins and shop in the store. Not a perfect work-around, but an option nonetheless. :)

Definitely appreciate the other suggestions and will take them into consideration!

Speaking about Gift of Adventure! I want a balance of how much credit I have with Simu so I can decide if I can afford the Simucoin purchase or should I save the credit to cover my subscription. Sometimes I don't want to spend my credit then have the auto subscription billing kick in, or the Simucoins purchase for that matter.

Been busy for a few months and just catching up on this thread. I have had a f2p account active since they went live. I was enjoying shattered greatly before my last time I had to leave the game due to real life and family situations causing me to feel the subscription price was not equal to the amount of time I had to enjoy the game. That said I love the access f2p has given me even if I just now am actually getting some time to game. My question on this regard is an option to play shattered for the 5 dollar cost off a free account over having to pay the base 14.95 plus shattered option. Has this been discussed and turned down or is it something not decided on yet. I would gladly pay just the 5 dollars a month for the little time I have to watch a script run from a week to week time frame but seeing as I tend to play 2-3 hours at best a week usually non at all. I find it hard to justify the whole 20 into my family's budget, when that can go to family activities not just me.
If this isn't going to be an option I am also fine to crawl my way through the levels for free, just would like to show that maybe a small market that otherwise wouldn't spend money on micro transactions is out there.
Thank you
Ron

I'll bring this up (again). Might be a bit before it gains any momentum.

Thank you that's all I ask for.

Other than this I am enjoying the free accounts
