Wie ich eben entdeckt habe ist der Beta-Status von QuakeLive offiziell beendet.
Die Modalitäten wurden heute ebenfalls bekannt gegeben sowie die Preise und was darin alles eingeschlossen ist.
Mit $1.99 für den Premium Account, sowie $3.99 für den Pro Account, Preise verstehen sich natürlich  monatlich, kann das ganze als recht moderat bezeichnet werden.
Leider konnte ich das Spiel selbst noch nicht testen und so auch keine Aussage darüber treffen ob, und wenn ja, sich was am bisherigen FreeToPlay geändert hat .

Die komplette englische Originalmeldung bekommt Ihr über den Weiterlesen-Link.

After being down for a day, QUAKE LIVE players missing their online fragging fix can return to action later today — as the game has officially exited beta! In addition to the ‘Standard’ free-to-play version, in a press release today, we’ve announced ‘Premium’ and ‘Pro’ subscriptions — adding new maps, game modes, and plenty more. Details below…

 

The Premium Subscription, which can be purchased for $1.99 per month, billed annually, includes:

• Access to 20 QUAKE LIVE Premium only maps at launch with more to come.  Premium maps are a combination of brand new maps and frequently requested community favorites from previous QUAKE games such as Aerowalk, Theater of Pain, Japanese Castles, and Realm of Steel Rats;
• An all new ‘Freeze Tag’ game mode;
• Exclusive premium level awards;
• Create your own clan and join up to five separate clans;
• Custom QUAKE LIVE profile wallpaper; and
• Match statistics stored for six months.

The Pro Subscription, which can be purchased for $3.99 per month, billed annually, includes all of the premium subscription features as well as:

• The ability to start your own game server, specify a server location, determine the game mode and invite who you want to join you;
• With the Pro Subscription, you can invite three friends with Standard level memberships to play with you in any Premium level map;
• Exclusive pro awards;
• Create your own clan and join up to ten separate clans; and
• Match statistics stored for 12 months.

The QUAKE LIVE ‘Standard’ version is still free to play and includes friend lists, access to one clan, matchmaking, and stats tracking delivered through a web browser with over 40 arenas and five game modes.
