Monthly Fee

But, it might be a way to filter out noobs arent serious about the game, or who want to ruin it for everybody else, and it keeps maintenance and customer service at its peak

I personally believe 15 dollars is way too much. It only takes 13 people to play to get 200 dollars. Blizzard has got 7 MILLION players, each paying 15. That's 1,260,000,000 dollars a year! For one freaking year, they feed off of us. For 15 bucks, I should get full access to all of Webzen's games. I believe the most that should be paid a month is 5. Of course there's workers expense and maintenance, but that could at least add up to 20 million. If calculated at 7000000 players, at a constant 15 bucks a month, Blizzard had made 3,780,000,000 since the game released in 2004.

How fair is that? They release one expansion. Now by these statistics, can anyone agree that even 10 bucks is too much?

your so right!!!!!!! hell they get so much money!!! it will be even harder for the 360 owners to pay!!!

ahh whats the big deal? it's just an extra 6 or more bucks for xbl users... and for PC users 15$ a month isnt that bad iether. I say if you buy the game form the store.. they should give u an extra month or so for free.

[Gatermag]

there is no aditional fees for the xbox version though right?

PC will probably cost 10$ a month because they want to make a profit but cost less than WoW. There's not going to be any extra fees for the xbox though. the xbox live fees covers all the online content that goes threw xbox and that would include huxley.

Why are you guys complaining about money? don't got enough then get a job...even if it's part time while you're at school or college/uni.

I have no idea if there will be a monthly fee to play. I can say that I THINK there will be just because most recent games that are MMOs have a monthly fee, that's honestly enough for me to believe there will be a fee. Just because it's become normal for MMOs to charge monthly.

But I don't see why xbox users wouldn't have to pay the fee as well, or even less of a fee for that matter. Yeah xbox users pay for xbox live, but I'm pretty sure PC users pay for internet lol. And I'm pretty sure internet is actually a lot more than xbox live costs, so actually PC users should have to pay less. But that wouldn't be the case lol

Nice customization screen alpha! http://o3oempire.net/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=5 for those of you who haven't seen it

I understand the need to make money, and I think that MMO's no matter what add value if that's the type of game you like.

But, I really don't like a game-by-game, month-by-month type subscription. I think that it would be better if there was a flat yearly fee for all MMO's made for 360 rather then a game-by-game cost.

It would definately sell better. If they do the game-by-game cost I for one will not be buying it.

[Verruna]

i think of it more this way... 15 bucks is not much if you have fun for that full month, new games are 50-60$ (single players) and usually don't last that full month or more.

mmo's that continue with development adding new things and all that can be very fun for months and months sometimes.

Yeah, while PC players may see the possibility of a free play, 360 users are more than likely going to be forced into paying for their subscriptions.

Well, it's not like Xbox live users dont pay for internet either. It's not like we turn on our Xbox and we are able to access Xbox live without an internet connection. So on top of paying this bill for internet access, we have this $50 fee. So yeh, I think Xbox live users should have a REDUCED fee.

Ohhh, ok lol now I get it ty for explaining. I don't know why I didn't make the connection of xbox live needing cable to already be set up lol.

I take back everything I said.

So I guess xbox live users should pay $4.16 less :D just to make it even for everyone.

[SeeJay]

This is stupid they need to announce if they are gona put up a fee or not. If it does I refuse to play. Just like any other self respecting FPS player.

[HUXLEY_MAN]

I don't quite get this all... I see it the is way xbox live users pay yay 60 bucks a year subscription and ontop of that the internet connection is another 40 dollars a month it think It as that but im not completley positive

[Weezel]

$15 is less than 35 minutes at work. I can live w/ that

[ChroniX]

they should make it 10$ a month.
