Theres actually an incident where PR required SF installed, where Mashtur Nights in 0.4 used the night... shaders(?) from SF. Without the xpac installed, your game would CTD.

This. Pay $40-60 onetime for the game, then $20-30 for expansions, and still be able to play the base game without having the expansions (vBF2+SF-style). I'd buy it new, and I NEVER buy games when they come out.

I think paying for the game would make server less populated as they already are. Just won't work if you ask me. I would gladly pay but I'm not sure about others.

I would hope that there would be a trial time for new players to try it and get the hang of it before they would have to pay. I would probably pay monthly but I would rather pay one larger sum.

I think the best way that a niche game like PR can be supported is with monthly payments. I'd happily pay $5 a month, but $10 a month would be somewhat steep.
Even then, they wouldn't be breaking even.

I believe if they're not looking to make a profit, and just looking to cover some of the effort, then they'd have to keep the monthly payment pretty low, so that people who aren't 100% addicted to the game can still treat it as a a luxury worth having, so that the servers can stay populated. Otherwise, they'll destroy the market and the game will die.

That's interesting, and supports my theory about the reason they couldn't use snow-terrain (until now!) in PR since it was only found in AF/EF.. I forget which..
