Guild Wars 2

Few minutes ago I read User agreement. In a part of payment I saw interesting thing.

(b) Periodic Payments Related to Accounts, Service and Content – NCSOFT may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require You to pay to establish or maintain any Account, to use any Service or to use any Content. You acknowledge that if You are required to do so, but do not, then NCSOFT may terminate Your Account under Section 3(b). You additionally acknowledge that NCSOFT may require such payments on any basis it deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, including but not limited to any per-use or periodic basis (such as a number of hours, days or months). And You acknowledge that NCSOFT may, at its sole and absolute discretion, establish the timing and form in which such payment must be made, including but not limited to credit cards or online payment services.

Does it means that the game can change payment model to P2P or it is related only on big content updates that we must buy to install?

Yeah, noticed that as well and got really concerned about that. I bought a game without regular fees, but I cant play if I dont say I agree with the fact they can charge me anytime they want. Considering the way NC$oft and Anet have been treating their customers and ignoring their previous statements, that really concerned me. But anyways, either you accept all they want or you cant play the game you paid for. Thats the game industry standards. You give them money and they do you the favor of letting you play. I hope they keep it as “standard verbiage” as they are calling it now, but nothing stops them to change this since you are obligated to accept anything they throw if you want to play the game you already paid for.

Probably there are some more “small letters” to be found after the changes, but why would they make clear what were the changes if they can make 99% of people give up reading and just “accept” so they can play. Im really kitten .
