Yup got monthly sub, like WoW to play.

It's the same as WoW,Swtor and other P2P MMO when they first came out before. Nothing surprising there
You get 30 days free to play and after that then you'll get charge for the 2nd month.

You can't have it all free man, even SWTOR F2P is not really free, you need to subs if you want to get full PVP/raids and such.
The P2P system is really for people who want to see their progress of their character in the game,shiny stuffs,feeling sense of achievement in their character progression,in my opinion.

As far as I know :

1- Yes, you need to buy the game which is about $60, roughly around rm180 which include 30 days play time. To continue playing you would then need pay the monthly subscription. $15 per month, $42 for 3 months, $78 for half a year and $132 for a whole year subscription.
2- There's no micro-transactions so everything is earned through your efforts.
3- Creed thing simply put is time card that you can legally sell to other players for in-game golds. You can also consume creed yourself if there is no one buying or change your mind later on although I'm not sure if you.

The only thing concerns me is that will there be a healthy market for Creed when the game launch.. I mean, yeah there are rich kids who pays to get golds in-game in other games but I wonder how many would sells and on the time between people selling creed.. Surely there won't be creed selling round the clock.. right..

All that is said.. I really would like to try Wildstar. I saw offgamer is selling pre-order for RM 181

Time is my concern as well. If you will only play during the weekends you're looking at more or less RM 3.5 per day, less if you squeeze in during the weekdays.

The game is promising and looks like a ton of fun to play with friends.

As for physical, I don't really know. Maybe some will, they brought in Guild Wars 2 and Final Fantasy.

Not claiming to be the richest person , but what if that RM3.50 can offer you some entertaining moment ?  going out for a movie or a drink cost way more than that recently.
The game looks very much like W.O.W , theres no doubt they are looking to pull in some of the long term W.O.W subscribers .
It's a more polished wow with sense of humors and slightly more updated features .

You can pre-order digitally from their website http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/preorder/
GMG also has it but their copy is not available to our region. I have pre-ordered the game from GMG, using proxy but it's a risk of banning from GMG if they caught you out.
As Convael mentioned before Offgamers are selling it too at here http://www.offgamers.com/wildstar-availabl...ews-ln-5322.ogm

Did you pre-order the game? If not, you won't be able to access the beta weekend, you need to find a weekend only beta key provided by various gaming websites to play it.
