$13 is a rip offOriginally posted by Cl1mh4224rd@18 November 2003 - 19:26
I'm pretty sure it's $13, like most other MMOGs today.

$13 a month? What a rip off. So if you play the game for 6 months, Thats $30-50 for a game (I don't know how much exactly, I'm in the UK) plus 13x6, another $78.Originally posted by Cl1mh4224rd@18 November 2003 - 20:26

So thats $108-$128 for a friggin game? Now times that by the thousands of people that will buy the game=one big smile on the developers/distributors face.
Thats a lot of dollar to play a game.
I cant see me rushing out to buy this one unless the monthly fee comes down in price.
Haha. If you ignore the recuring cost of server maintenance, bandwidth, constant developer attention, and 24/7 in-game support, then yeah... it's lot of money in their pocket. Unfortunately, most people don't realize that those are very real, and very high costs that come with running an MMOG.
Thirteen dollars a month is nothing. Get a job.
"Why Pay To Play?"
exactly........ if i had the cash i would get it.... well also the time to play it
but im sure playing it sometime in a friends house
sounds perfect...
it'll suck ass
as i dont pay for nearly all my games, films & music, paying £12 (most of the MMORPG are about $12per month plus vat) for a game that has constant updates isnt that bad.
anyone play starwars gal? is it any good?
Get a freaking job? I earn well son but I still refuse to pay that kind of money for what is just a video game. Do you honestly believe these company's aren't making a hefty profit of the back of this?Originally posted by Cl1mh4224rd@19 November 2003 - 10:58

Now I'm not saying it should be free but if its a popular game like the Matrix online will be, the fees should be just enough to pay out the developers/writers/servers and a little bit more for profit (which if you add to the profit they make from the initial purchase of the game is more than most company's would make and remember you cant download an illegal copy of this game so they wont be ripped off)
Like I say, I would pay for a game like this if the price was right.
with a game like matrix online, couldnt they just use ridiculous ammounts of product placement like in the real world, i know thats what id try. i want a true mmorpg, not just ones for rich kids whose parents own credit cards
