It'll happen as soon as they figure out what you'll (we'll) buy for real currency. It's not setup like PS2 where weapons and resources are easy ones to charge for.

They'll probably choose something like each BR takes a certain amount of Station Cash to take effect and you get your cert points. You pay not to play, but to level and get your certs. For example, someone can only play to BR6 for free, then it costs a buck or something like that each subsequent level, or 2 at higher levels. Say the "free" content will get you the ability to get the final cert of any track. Advanced Hack, Assault Engi, etc, but you can only specialize in one unless you pay up.

In order to specialize in multiple cert paths you gotta pay. You get to BR6 max exp and then exp gain is cut real low like 1/4 so you don't lose everything by not paying to level, but it really makes it hard, exponentially hard with each higher BR you cross into. 1/4 gain for 1 level up, 1/8 gain for 2 levels, etc until they see $$. Gives you incentive to pay upon hitting the next level so you can avoid the exp gain penalty.
