Perhaps I have misunderstood something with TRS2019 (it happens - aging!), but it would appear to me that the gold/silver options include access to assets not otherwise available? Being a Route builder, who gets a lot of pleasure from seeing his Routes enjoyed around the world, the last thing I need is a database which includes assets that will not be available to other users (those who do not take the gold/silver packages). If correct, then the basic TRS2019 is the only practical way for me to go. Regards. Colin.
 
I don't think this is accurate. If you pay for the Gold Membership at $150, you get 2019. You don't ALSO pay the $70 for 2019. It's included with the Gold subscription.

but can you keep the game after the gold year ends? NO. That's is bad :confused:

If we pay for support and early access they can (at least) give the game to you at the end of the first gold year. (without the DLCs of course)

If this change MAYBE I will buy
 
Thanks for the image SpalterBockerl - looks a million dollars to me :D

So if I take the gold at 14.99 a month, that's 179.88 for the year right. I already have Tane SP3, so I fell like I'm paying all over again for it just because I have access to it in Gold. This seems a little high for me if I've got all this right. Can you please break this down so I know what I paying for.

Jayco-man, here are some responses to that for you to ponder:
* There is an Annual option to save you $30/year
* TRS19 is a leap forward from TANE (as you can see in the image above - it really does have a totally new, more realistic feel)
* The price includes an FCT (and a discount for those with existing FCTs of $2/mth or $24/year)
* It also includes a huge range of DLC items
* Plus a 25% discount on the store

So comparing apples with apples, it is far cheaper than what many people are currently paying. True it is more than many are paying also, but they are not getting the same value.

Should change the name to TRS20-19.99/mo

Eso - that got a chuckle from me (I hope we're still allowed to chuckle).

How about: TRS14.99/mo-with-FCT+25%discount+alltheDLCyoueverwant?

No Tony, it is a constant cost instead of a choice of purchases. This REALLY should have been let out along with the hype .Instead of shock and awe, you are getting awe, followed by SHOCK!

But to create the better looking content you need a PBR subscription of around $150 a year, its $100 can to buy the basic game, it needs an nVidia card and a GTX 1070 was mentioned which I assume becomes a RTX 2070 now. It's getting too pricey for me.

I think I can wait.

Just enjoying SP3. And just started making sessions for my recently released route. I don't want to go through fields of frustration again like when I first got TANE. So patience is the keyword for me here. :D.

TRS 2019 looks fine but looks are not everything.
 
I just did the calculations and Trainz will now cost me about $212 (Aust) (edit: wrong calculation. Should be $178Au) per year for a gold membership. That takes into account my lifetime FCT discount.

My Trainz hobby interests are making content and helping others make content. The lure of cheaper DLC does nothing for me as I already have a bunch of that and I never use it.

I also have subscriptions for content creation tools that far exceed the actual cost of a Gold Membership. I dare not think how much this hobby costs me per year.

I'd like to subscribe to a Gold Membership but am really struggling to find a good reason.

If I understand the Trainz plus feature, for the majority of the time, there will be different versions of TRS19 on the go at the same time.

Sounds like a support nightmare. This is a big risk.
 
Not happy either. Stuff the subscription service...that costs $AUD245 plus per yr........for a game. $AUD95 for boxed version......I know which route I'll go. I already pay a subscription to Adobe and Substance Painter, I sure as hell ain't paying a subscription to a game.

Have to agree with this statement:

WE are getting ripped off, if you don't want to spend loads of cash on a subscription scam there is no early access until September, pretty much disgusted and not what we were lead to believe, those who want to buy it properly are treated like second class citizens and made to wait, which is probably most of us in here.
 
Not much in this for Route builder and Content creators who are not likely to be using DLC........

Which is why the simple purchase option with no frills is the one for me. I have a limited selection of DLC which I rarely use. I prefer building my own routes and occasionally I build some sessions for DLS routes.
 
A rip-off, by definition is when you pay for something and you don't get it, and I don't see how that conclusion is arrived at here.

For people who don't want to get all the extra value from a membership, the decision is simple - don't join.

We're totally happy for people to buy from the store just as they did previously. That's why that option is available, as we know subscription isn't for everyone.

But given that there are many more people choosing the Gold Class option than the store option, not everyone thinks the same way.

Each to their own - just make your choice and enjoy.
 
I've never had so much fun with Trainz, I haven't been able to keep away from it. Thanks Tony and the team for delivering my dream Trainz.
I was a beta tester for a short time and enjoyed every minute of the experience. I'm looking forward to making more contributions to help the best Trainz ever, even better.
Remenber guys, this is still a beta but it's better than T:ANE even now. I've already paid for a 1 year subscription and will get the boxed version as well. (How will that work Tony?)
I'm a route builder but more into HD scenery and there is more than enough to keep me interested. New things to play with in post processing and settings to tweak. I've also found using the bulk replace tool can make a somewhat drab older route come alive with PBR textures and I haven't even played with clutter layers yet.
Congratulations again on the best Trainz EVER.
