Novas Official Reply About Pay Per Play!

A lot of talk is going on in the community right now about the 'Premium Service' sticker that is on the Joint Ops retail box. The sticker is a little misleading, so I would like to clear this topic up once and for all.

1/ Everything you get in the retail version of Joint Ops (Co-op, 150 player servers etc) is covered by the retail price of the game. We have no plans to charge for any of these features. Period.

2/ We are not currently running a premium service. That sticker is there to cover the possibility of a service being introduced sometime in the future.

3/ IF we start a premium service, it will be entirely optional and will cover additional features not in the game.

4/ The cost of this service would be minimal, and nowhere near the figures of $15 being bounced around right now.

I hope this clears this issue up for everyone.

If Nova have gone to the trouble and expense of designing and placing a sticker on the box, there is more than a "possibility" of a premium service being introduced.

It's not something you just decide to do, without having a good idea of what is being planned.

"Sometime in the future" More like whenever they need money to support servers. Or when they bring out the expansion pack with new weapons ect. pay - 2 - Play idea like the Sky games thing free at start , now its pay - 2 - play

I do not think it's right to pay to play. It sounds to me like nova is getting greedy.
As far as mods go. We can make mods with or without nova.
We have been doing it for years.

probably they talk about the servers.those premium services ur gonna need a premium job/salary lol.
50 player server 525 & month

[Doper-ISK-]

oops cant edit.but i guess im wrong of that being THE prmium server if they say it wont be over 15$ a month.

could it be for the squad tags on your player skin ?

think you only pay a 3rd party to host your game on they have setup for all to use it cost money yes, but you has it there is no charge at all. its only a option for all member to use if they wish to.

other wise you host it free you like to pay for a service to host the game on their server then you have to pay them for their service. a lot of groups do this.
