Hello BDO DEV's and SUPPORT Team:


Are you planning on having a Subscription Option for BDO I have a subscription for a few games that allow BASIC necessities and perks that NON-subscribers do not have. EX: Elder Scrolls and Star Wars the Old Republic. I pay $15 each month. If I could create a Subscription Option for BDO, it would provide the following:

Monthly Items that would come with Optional Subscription ($15.00 per Month - Cancel at Anytime)
1. 30 Day Value Pack
2. A few Item Drop Buff Items
3. One Life Skill and One Combat crate
4. Pearl Shop Coupon (s) (that expire within 30 days if not used)
5. Blessing of Kamasylve - 15 Days x 1

6. Secret Book of the Old Moon - 15 Days x 1
7. 1650 Pearls

We already have a subscription-like model: value pack, blessing of Kamasylvia and secret book of the Old Moon. They are even priced at that annoyingly predactory amount of $12.50 or $15 while only allowing you to charge $10 or $20. We've already been begging PA to combine these three buffs and make them reasonably priced. We don't need, or want, anymore subscription-based things. We technically even have battlepasses for seasonal and daily passes sold here and there.

Ask someone to power level you. You'll hit level 60 in roughly an hour, maybe two.

In my opinion, you don't need active mobs to test out a class as long as you know you will have to dodge here and there, so weave movement in between attacks. You will still get a feel for the class.

Great Feedback!

I agree with alot of what you said.  We do spend enough money on this game as it is, which is why I am goign to respond to the post as well.  Strange.  Yes:

Subscriptions:
I have enough subscriptions.  The games where I have subscriptions, basically give me my money back in rewards and monthly credits.  SO NO Subscription.

CLASS Testing for PVP and PVE:
I agree.  But do not put the PVE Class Testing with PVP.  Leave PVP alone.  I agree that some hit like a wet noodle and it is good to see the full range of a class aka PVP and PVE.  If that is your thing.

You mean like adding some mob packs or towers of varying diffculties to a trial area? Interesting.  Could be something like a trial Marni's Realm launching into a selection of areas already available in-game.

I think you have the right idea, but that's just not a great solution. It would require much more development time, for something only a few *might* use. I think the subscription consolidation should happen, and I think you could try add that in another thread, which it's suggested to keep one idea per thread. 

I never checked if you could PvP in Trial character.

LoL ... While I vehemently disagree with the monetization of this game and anything other adjacent to these systems, what you're asking here is just....RoFL.

Value pack currently = 15$/month. You want a bunch of things and $20 worth of pearls on top of that. You'll have more luck persuading PA to remove crystal breakage (like console) than changing their core monetization system(s). They've proven over the years that they are not budging in any way on these systems, in fact, they've doubled down on toxic and predatory systems [ie. Crystal system, Fairy system etc].

I wish I still had your hopium and nativity that PA can change in any way or form, or that they read this forum in any way or form.

Also, i recommend making 2 posts since these 2 topics are not even related to eachother.

I agree with trial pve.

I strongly disagree with subscription. Why ? Because I've never paid value pack, kamasylve etc.. I'm buying it from the game market with the game money. And sometimes the game give them to you. So a big NO
