Lmfao, thank goodness for the time limit, as if someone can seriously play over 300 hours a month they are in need of desperate, desperate help!

Dude that's more then enough time for the average gamer, but I guess not it's enough for people with no life.

I was thinking the exact same thing.  I know NCSoft is only using this pricing scheme for Korea because of the law... for now.  But a lot of people here seem willing to accept these terms in NA/EU for no apparent reason.  It's not about the time, it's the principle.  Why are people willing to make small concessions out of apathy?

ISP's are already talking about charging by bandwidth usage.  Before you know it cable companies are going to be charging by the hour to watch TV.

ok let me get this straight...I DONT PLAY 10hours a day!! but you all guys miss my point!!!

what im saying is that why the hell they implementing this kind of restriction while other more successfull mmo doesnt? right? if they make 300 hours restriction...it only means they are more expensive than any p2p mmo game. its not that il play more than 10 hours a day, but just the thought of making it a p2p with tim limit is just too much.... Are they really that confident about this game??? ncsoft never made any awesome game....all are garbage

Huge logical fallacy is a huge logical fallacy.

I say put the 300 hour limit on all of our MMOs that don't have a good reason to keep the client open all day long. We don't need people getting insanely addicted to MMOs to the point that it affects their health and well being.

What if there are player shops? I know when i'm playing the game i wont have a shop open but when i go to sleep i leave the game on all night to sell the stuff i got while playing. Now with this info on 300 hour limit is true and going to also happen on the US side of the game then i myself also just saved $50 and the monthly fee. I don't buy games that have a set limit of time i am able to play. Imagine you just bought a Single Player RPG or something and you are restricted to a limit of time you are able to play that game would you buy it still? I know i sure as hell did'nt.

People leave the client open for many reasons and to be restricted after paying for the game and paying a monthly fee just seems like a bunch of BS to me. Well again now i just wont purchase this game due to this one fact I'm paying to play this game i should have unlimited time. Now before you past judgement on me i never even play any MMO more then 100 hours a month or even combined time between MMO's. I do have a real life but having a set limit of time is just wrong wrong wrong.

I really hope they don't go through with this on the US side because it will just stray a lot of people away from a game that could very well be the best game that has come out since WoW.

While I don't really see any sense in having a "10 hour a day" limit I can see why people are upset about it. It's a bit like some telcos here selling you "flat fee" plans, only to have you find out that you can actually only call for 5000 minutes a month. Yes, that's 208 hours of phone time and I can hardly imagine using more than 2 thereof, I do consider everyone who feels the need to spend about 7 hours a day on the phone to have serious issues, but still, when you SELL something, at least stick to it. And when I pay for a monthly subscription, I expect to be allowed to play for however long I want to play within this time frame, i.e. this month. Either sell a monthly subscription or sell it hourly, mixing it usually means you as a customer are losing out.

How do they calculate it anyway? Is it 10 hours a day or is it 300 hours a month? Can I play not at all today and 20 hours tomorrow (just in case I have neither a life nor a halfway decent sleep cycle), or will they cut me off after 10 hours and the 10 hours I didn't play the day before are "lost"?

Anyway. Either or. Sell me days or sell me hours, but don't lump it together.
