A MMO company has to regain its R&D portion so there has to be some sort of plan to recapture this initial investment. Also, they would be foolish not to have a method in which to gain profits via online play. I have heard it said that R&D is paid off with the sale of the game itself were as the profits come from a monthy fee.

Also, I would like to remind you all there are ways to get around a monthly fee. Guild Wars is a free monthly MMO that offers updates every few months at full game price.
