An MMO with a monthly fee, who would have believed it. the games without fees are mostly made up of instant areas and then you have the micro transactions. A new ip like this when it will be a shared world would always have a fee maybe later they'll make it free with micro transaction but not a launch.0 -

Well as of E3 the monthly sub has been set to $14.99 on both platforms with no info as to whether PSN+ nets you a discount.
What's most amusing though is the utter shock from people on various sites at the thought of paying a sub to play a game. I know the idea of MMOs on consoles is relatively unknown, with only a handful of titles released over the last few years but still, when you see comments like...$15 a month? if thats the case i cant see almost anyone buying this. Thats crazy!$15 a month or a year????
...you do have to wonder.

It's not that surprising that console player are surprised or that there is a sub for a MMO, Pc Gamers had to get used to paid DLC and console users will need to get accustomed to this. i do think a free MMO using mostly instanced areas would be better suited for a console and i think that micro transaction would cause more of a uproar than a sub.0 -
Oh in terms of on the platform sure, but I would have considered that the vast majority of core gamers would be familiar with the concept of a subscription for an MMO?It's not that surprising that console player are surprised or that there is a sub for a MMO, Pc Gamers had to get used to paid DLC and console users will need to get accustomed to this.
I'd certainly agree that an instance-based MMO would be logical first step for a fully fledged console MMO but with the DC license behind them I'd say SoE feel they can pull off the full thing.i do think a free MMO using mostly instanced areas would be better suited for a console and i think that micro transaction would cause more of a uproar than a sub.
As for micro-transactions, well we'll see how well they're received when Free Realms goes online in November on the PS3.

Still no news on the beta and the lack of information is making it worse as I have my Son asking about it several times a day every day
.
Now I know the monthly sub for MMO games has been around for a few years on the pc but I dont think that I would be willing to pay to play each month.
How does this all work anyway ?
You pay for the game and then get a months sub with it ?
You pay for the game and then have to pay to play right from the start ?
Think this game has just come off the list .0 -

Does he know what a beta is. While getting a glimpse at this in the beta is great as well as free, it is a beta and will be full of bugs and some things won't work. A beta is not a demo and sometimes they are broken as hell.Still no news on the beta and the lack of information is making it worse as I have my Son asking about it several times a day every day.Now I know the monthly sub for MMO games has been around for a few years on the pc but I dont think that I would be willing to pay to play each month.
If you don't want to pay then you can't play, it's as simple as that for these games. The monthly subscription is the norm for mmos, there are a lot of free games and some games function with free play but you can pay for extra items or improve you characters for money.
I don't know how much money you spend on your kid normally for games but, if he ends up liking this game he probably won't be buying or asking for other games. People play mmos and that one game can be all they play, there is no end in these games and new content will be released all the time.
If i'm playing call of duty the game is being hosted by one of the players(host) and all the information on what i doing and how it interacts with the other players is being sent to his PS3. An MMO does not have this, the host is sony and a lot more work is needed to be done to allow all those people to play together.How does this all work anyway ?
The free games are generally instances based and most the games at most of the time has one of the players as the host, other free games use the same system as stated first but the high cost of this is offset by a large portion of the player base buying hats and thing from the game store for real money.You pay for the game and then have to pay to play right from the start ?
The game will come with a code for some time already, the time lenght can vary from as high as a full month, to a week, or with some games a few days more or less than a week.0 -
