Title: Global Agenda pricing model announced Post by: ilkhan on October 20, 2009, 07:21:16 PM I had heard about this coming for a while now, but it's great to finally see it official. Players will be able to purchase Global Agenda for a one-time cost and have access to the core game. Players who subscribe will get access to more features, such as Agency vs. Agency. Here's the press release.
ATLANTA, Oct. 20, 2009 - Global Agenda players will be able to experience the major features of the game after a one time purchase via digital download or box sale, with no monthly subscription required. An optional subscription package called Global Agenda: Conquest will be available for those players who wish to participate in the persistent Alliance vs. Alliance territory control game-play and access ongoing content updates. There are a ton of details so I won't repost them here. If you haven't already seen it, check out the post on official blog (http://forum.globalagendagame.com/gablog/index.php/2009/10/20/global-agenda-pricing-details-announced/). Title: Re: Global Agenda pricing model announced Post by: Bion on October 21, 2009, 03:56:24 PM The dual payment mode is interesting. I certainly am going full out for the whole experience, but the ability to drop a subscription but still be able to play to a certain degree is very cool.
Do the single payment players have zero impact on the game-world? I see they can join agencies still, so I am wondering if their PvE activities could influence anything in the AvA system.

I can't see a non-sub being able to have an impact since they cannot participate in AvA, but I suppose their ability to help in standard PvE and PvP missions will have to have some benefit.
