Monthly fee's

I recently bought lotro.  seemed like an ok game, nothing spectacular but playable atleast.  In the first month, I must have played only about 7 hours total.  I'm tired when I get home from work, only play a couple hours on the weekends.

 

My point is.. should there be 2 different options for fee's, like hardcore gamer card vs. casual gamer card.  The idea is you charge $15/month, unlimited play for the hardcore gamer.  Then there's another card for casual gamers, say $15/ 60hours..  maybe more or less hours, but something along those lines.  I guess that would only make them lose money lol.. but if a nice company that cared about the people that play their game wants to adopt that style of payment, it would break some of us free of that certain mindset, I gotta get my money's worth... I must play!!

 

As of right now, I'm not renewing lotro for $15/7hours.   however I would buy an hour card that I didn't feel pressured into using.  A pay as you go kinda thing.  Just a thought.  What you guys think?

    Sounds like a good idea to me. I hate being pressured to play something cos I'm paying for it. But that might be the MMO companies' plan, making someone pay on a subscription so that they make money whether you play or not. This is (partly) why I play mostly offline FPSs and the only MMORPGs I play are Guild Wars where you don't subscribe you just buy the box and RuneScape which I am not subscribed to, I just top up my membership every so often when I think I'm gonna play quite a bit in a month (or I just play the free version). But yeah I think that should happen.

    That is a great idea. I usally only ever play at most 10 hours a week so with your plan I would save money it would also be cool because I could play multiple MMO's and not have to play a monthly fee just pay when I play. Wish some companies would adopt your plan.

    It isn't a bad idea, but forgot about it, companies would only loose money on it so there's no way for them to do that since all of em are about money....

    I think Ragnarok Online has a payment plan where you can buy a few hours of gametime.

    I like the idea. It'd be easier for me to take up a game if I don't have to worry about playing just cause I'm paying.

    I think some games (like Ragnarok) do that? But not many...
