Consumables will be a part of some of the free Login/Challenge rewards that are coming up. We understand your concerns about the prices.
The Offline Levels part was definitely something I was concerned about as well, but the passive boosts to XP gains (instead of having to use the Blessing of Asura) should boost progression enough to the point where they won't be needed. Plus, it's a reason for people to actually log in and play their alts instead of sitting on OLs. That's how I see it, anyway.

by active you mean a premium membership or just to be online at that time ?

No, we can see TSW bonuses and at least some of us can count. TSW gets 10$ bonus points and other in-game bonuses. When you lower 15 by 10 we end with monlty sub cost at 5$. Do you like to say that's our new month sub price? With year premium cost about 35$? Otherwise don't even pretend it's good deal at all.

Do non-subscribers not have access to the AA system?
Will characters be locked for f2p players like it is currently where you can only unlock a couple chars or will you keep access to all the chars you own? If not how many characters can I unlock to play with as a F2P?
I don't think many will agree but hope for your sake I'm wrong. I expected at least 1000 points per month to make it worth it. Without more info on the loyalty rewards I can't really judge but the way it looks now there is absolutely NOTHING (except access to gold that can't be spend on anything) that would make a player with already developed chars sub.
Why do offline levels get wiped? I really don't see any reason for that. Except Alandalara almost nobody cares they are there and all you do is take previously earned loyalty rewards away. Further more, what guarantee do I have that if I decide to sub under these conditions of the new membership system you or someone else won't come next year and tell me that they thank me for my money but they will take the loyalty rewards away (for which I paid and which I earned by being loyal) for reasons absolutely unknown. How is this not theft? I fcking paid you for those offline levels and they are mine now! You own an item -> I pay you money -> I get item -> Item is mine now

I mean an active Premium Membership, yes.
Whatever extra slots you have purchased will remain, but if your Membership expires, the extra slots that come with that will also be disabled until you renew. That hasn't changed from the current system.
NEW Free accounts only get 1 slot to begin with, but get to 8 with Membership like how it is currently.
You may access the AA system without having a Membership nor Rise of the Godslayer.
The lock/unlock system will persist in the same state it is now. If your Membership expires, you may unlock as many characters as you have slots for. You simply get an extra seven slots for being a Member. We're not taking away any slots for existing accounts.

Ok cool. I'm still slightly confused now though. The way it works now is that I have 12 slots or so but as F2P I can only unlock about 3 or 4 I think. The rest are locked until I go premium again.
So will it persist in the same stats as it is now or can I unlock as many characters as I have slots?
I don't get it. Why are you messing with stuff that did not need fixing. You should have left the prices alone, and kept the bonus funcom points for the subscribers. You should have halved the subscription fees, or put more effort to fixing the bugs that are half a decade old. I don't mind paying a premium subscription for a premium product. Group bugs, video bugs, wall bugs, invisible mounts, looting bugs, resurrection window bugs, latency spikes, horrible loot balancing, and item progression with no logic... Thats not a premium feeling. Also all subscribers HAVE TO have access to the best items in game, through regular ways of playing the game. Pay to win (7% crit pots) have to go, it's a joke really.
I was going to mention how many bonus points TSW get per month but didn't see the point.
I'm still pretty disappointed that they removed the 100 bank slot upgrade from the store. I had bought it on one character that I no longer play when it was the item of the day and was waiting to buy it on my primary character when it was the item of the day. Well, both the 100 bank slot upgrade and the item of the day were removed and now it would run me about 4500fc to buy the equivalent bank space with the 10 slot scroll upgrades for 450. Not a chance I'll be doing that.
I wish I could move the upgrade to my primary character. Don't see that happening either.
I just feel defeated right now and am ready to lay down my sword and die.
