I made a post on their official forums asking why they would charge customers for playing, when they have stated themselves that there will in fact be a server wipe, or equivilent to it before Darkfall version 2.0 is launched.
they have stated so in their own official blog, yet when I question the point of paying for playi9ng a character that will wipe, they delete the post, calling it spam...
I think however that for new customers, it's a pretty valid point in considering wether you want to pay for the game or not.
So this is just a heads up, about something I would consider a pure scam seeing the way they deal with questions about it.
