Following on from this thread by Memento_Mori, please try to stick to the main reason you subscribe (So if you'd subscribe to support Quake even without server spawning and premium content just choose 'to support Quake').
Can someone explain to me why they do that? I mean those who are kinda unhappy with it but still do it for the sake of the game. Doesn't make any sense to me :x
quake before QL was actually a good game. so theyre just supporting what they previously loved out of the series. crap titles like Q4 and QL pretty much ruined the franchise for most people tho.
Because while not being perfect, its the only multiplayer game i can play ad nauseum, the scene while rather small has a good percentage of high skilled players, movie makers, casters, etc. The location i play (Argentina) is currently down, as well as japan, chile and others. The uptime of QL is probably the worst of all the services ive used, to the point where i believe that if your location is dead for more than 1 or 2 days, they should refund you that month.
Yet i will pay when my actual subscription ends, cause its the vision of deathmatch that i love.
With support they don't necesserily mean that people buy prem and then don't play, they mean that people don't really need the extra features but chip in anyway. By the way that option can be automatically checked when you chose one of the subscribe options 'cause then you're supporting anyway
theres no mistery here. only picup and cup players buy the premium. and only fools pay for pro. i could buy a retail version bf3 from the price of the pro. and there are no updates or fixes.
All four reasons, but mostly to spawn servers. Prem servers seem to have (much) fewer hackers and less quitters too. People that pay seem to treat the game with more respeck.
Renewed my subscription today, after about one year without premium.
Reasons: Although I rarely played in the last 1.5 years (been an active quaker since q3test release) I still liked to follow the scene and watch some of those awesome streams that are around almost every day.
Finally those got me playing a bit again myself in the last weeks. Now this new update came along and I also kinda missed aerowalk, so why not give quake another shot, 24 bucks is not that much.
