I tested this out earlier today, and what I feared turns out to be true.

I tested attaching 20 copies of a symbol to an email, and each copy would have cost me 2 RTWP. So 40 points total. One person could easily exhaust all of their pre-order points simply by trading one copy of a clan uniform, depending on complexity.

I hope the community uproar over this covinces RTW to rethink these payment "options".

I think it's the fact that even if I spend the money on 180 days unlimited, I still get no RTW points and will continue to have to purchase RTW to trade/sell/breathe, most likely.

So for 3 months of playing the game, I'll have to pay $50 for the game, $30 for game time, and $20 for enough RTW to buy things off the marketplace, probably more if I'm trading around clan items. I'm not saying I can't be persuaded to do it if everyone is onboard, but I just really really hate trying to manage RL money in a fucking game. In-game currency should be used on the marketplace and for manufacturing.


I figure things are going to be tweaked, i hope that if not right away, at some point they give you a RTW point dole along with the monthly plan after people get pissy enough.

Considering it costs RTW points to pay for the montly plan (you have to buy RTW points and then use those to subscribe), I doubt the subscription will ever come with more RTW points.
