I was gonna post this in the other thread, but I thought it deserved it's own topic since it might get a lot of discussion.
I know that changing to a per-month/year/lifetime scheme would annoy some people that have spent a fair amount of money already so here's my idea...
If you have spent $5-10 on this game, you get a couple months/half year free. If you have spent $10-$20, you get a year free. If you have spent $20+ or whatever, you get lifetime. Also, then you could move the pricing scheme to $2-3/month, $10-$15/year, and $20-$30 lifetime (or something like that). I think many people would be very happy doing that. :) And when you download the game you could get like, a week free (which is enough to get addicted, imo, but not enough to max out everything for casual people, especially once more updates like guilds, player housing, and pets are out).
And then vanity items. Those prices cover all basic gameplay, all expansions, all pvp, a lot of character slots (3+/server free), a lot of stash, a lot of item slots, a couple respecs etc. But for special things like more respecs, more char slots, more stash, more item slots, and customization could be a little bit more. Not a lot, but a little bit. Because you don't need those things to enjoy the game completely, but if you want them you can still get them.
tl;dr: the cake is a truth.
Hope this helps. :)
