The Tree of Savior team is reconsidering the Founders early access plan for the game as they announced yesterday. Under the original plan, founders purchasing the most expensive package would have three months of early access; tier two founders would have two months access; and the lowest level package owners would have a month early access prior to the free to play launch in June.

    After reading the article I was expecting the top tier to be some outrageous price like $200.

    $50 is a pretty reasonable price, less than a normal game costs. I don't see the issue. Pay up or wait.

    Staggered launches like this aren't bad, and while the game will be F2P later, at least this is an honest way to have an EA price, before "switching" to F2P. Unlike some games that launch B2P with a sub, and then switch, which is essentially the same thing.  

    I'll likely pay, because I'm curious.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    Honestly I thought this thread title meant EA (Electronic Arts) acquired this game and was releasing it, that would have indeed been bad news, thankfully that isn't what it meant lol.

    Wouldn't that mean early access starts this month?

    Well, I'm happy for one thing.

    At least now I know when it's coming out.

    What blows me away is people pay this instead of just waiting

    I thought exactly the same at first and then realized that the only tree EA is interested in is the money tree.

    Most people are angry over it not because of the pricing, but because those players will have their own server 3 months ahead of everyone else. Upon launch, no one will be able to join that server. So in the end it would be dividing the community on top of the Founders Server having the chance of dying because people quit. It would be wasting $50 in the long run. Yes, they can wait till the $30 or the $20, but by then most if the community is miles ahead of them and it would divide the pvp/gvg aspect of the game.
