Hola,
We discussed this before I left, and while I'm not really back or at least as in much of a capacity as I was before this will be what I am working on. The idea has been formed mainly based on player feedback.
First and foremost: we will NOT have a pay to win system, although paying does give advantages none of those will give perks in combat or in most situations. In addition, you can earn every single premium item/reward without paying in-game. Typically via developer hosted events.
The first premium items to be implemented will be certificates, these include free name changes, custom join locations (1 month), and allowing the use of titles.
Free name changes are probably self explanatory, but custom join locations will change your country to whatever you want (within approval range). Titles, will be text under your name that are unlocked with achievements. Having used a title certificate, you can display those titles. In addition, any member who purchases any reward in the testing phase will receive an exclusive title.
Titles do provide enhancements, depending on the achievement. Example, having the "Notorious" achievement title displayed will increase earned notoriety by a percentage. This only affects actively displayed titles, so you can only have one.
Note: we will always allow players to earn premium rewards in-game, paying will only be a shortcut.
Our initial system will be manual during it's testing phase, an automated system will be developed alongside the premium system.
Before you ask...What about VIP subscriptions?At this point, we have no estimates on when we'll be launching a VIP system. Right now the founder package is available at:
https://www.patreon.com/user?u=3918306 and is a monthly based subscription.
Average cost of premium items?Typically less than a few euros.
When can we start buying?Sometime in September, the Platinum Gift Box with some of these items will be available in an update Sept. 1st, and some of them maybe usable. Note the vehicle voucher listed is NOT a premium item. Vehicles and properties will not be a premium reward. Ever.

Nope, no it will not.
