best idea ever, srsly

So pathetic you reply on your own post.

Cant be a joke, since its a very bad one.

Why so serious dude? Are you a newb here? (Checks profile, 17 posts) :D

Great argument. The joke wasnt funny, thats why im serious

There should be a special subscription type for tournament organizers IMO. It would allow them to spawn multiple servers, set ingame ad panels to display sponsor logos on their servers etc

Exists. Not the sponsor thing.

there is one, just ask SyncError if you're cup organiser

super elite subscriber:

give all your money to id software.

subslaver

haha :*

"Quaker".

there should be lifetime subscription ;p

there shouldn't be any subscription whatsoever

imo the best is/was
buy game & play

Just like Q3.

exactly

So damn right

The problem with that model is that it does not include server hosting nor prolonged bug fix / updates etc. The community has proven to handle these things well in q3, but it was based on individuals who did put in their time and money, which cannot be taken as granted.

it can't be taken as granted with the money we're paying id as well. the problem really isn't the subscription itself, but this particular subscription which is fucked beyond belief. the server base is shit and there are no visible efforts being made to make it better. the options are taken from free users to blackmail them into putting money into supposedly free to play game instead of making an effort to draw them into paying money by (wait for it) providing content that they would like to pay for with flexible deals content packages and shit. It's not rocket science ffs. I know this topic has been discussed to death, but it still boggles my mind.

hahahahhahaha

hohohohohoho

please stop, i still laugh at your initial post

no way. mind you that the thought about you of all people laughing me out is very amusing to me. so let me have my fun as well

ye whatever, as i care about inferior beings... just try not to choke2death while laughing

can't say the same to you

The community provided them in terms of features, servers. Not so much in maps, but let's say they could. However, here was no developer interest to prolong the product's life, and there was little incentive to make the game have too much replay value in general. That's the problem that is best solved with subscriptions and, even more so, microtransactions. The new Quake needs hats. badly.

the last update wasn't much though

lifetime subscription makes more sense. i hope 2gd des this for reborn

lifetime sounds good, but 2 years is kind of cheap.

Yeah downloading shitloads of things and dont get me started with the rest like multiple mods yadayada.

Without QL today there would be like 10 times less people playing.

I didn't say anything about game, only about subscription/charges.
Stupid CoD is buy&play (+DLC) and there is no mods. Payment model =/= game.

But still ability to create mods is a feature for me. But such a game need popularity, without this community will split up.

We are paying more for premium/pro than per slot on your own server . And we don't get a lot of content, id doing almost nothing.
