  • You would not be correct on my age. However its irrelevant to the topic. I know what I'm talking about. I understand full well the information I read in the finacial statements and the calculations done to conclude what I have concluded. There is no…
  • Shadowmage It would seem you understand where I'm coming from more. You do bring up one thing I'd like to point out and that all money brought in offsets the initial cost of developement. The bottom line profit at the end of a year includes all cos…
  • As I said before it seems it does no good to try and convice someone who is dead set to believe there is nothing wrong with the greed. Being happy to pay the price is what I mean in part by brainwashed. But becasue they don't understood that the com…
  • Originally posted by AzathothWhat you point out, I agree with.  However, if you don't pay for AO, you watch ads.  Guild Wars sells expansions.  They both turn profit, and accordingly are greedy by FonzyBears standards.  At least that's what I gather…
  • Originally posted by _Shadowmage Actually prices are not likely to come down. In fact developers think they arent charging enough for their games. I read an article on Gamasutra where the Bioware guys were saying they thought MMORPG's should charg…
  • Originally posted by ShaydeWow. More stupidity? Booooooo! Um Shayde your reply is not called for and it is insulting. Originally posted by blunder1983 Its always fun to read threads like these. I'm curious to your age Fonzybear. When you…
  • A late comer to the discussion. It more or less ended. If you haven't done so read everything. Then do some research for games like WoW is the one I like to refer to. You will find after analizing their finacial records that they can still turn a pr…
  • Did the 19.95 include 1 month of free access? Because thats not all that bad if with each one you got 1 month free then its basically like buying the box for the cost of one month plus a tid bit for material cost.
  • Originally posted by Salvatoris I hear ya, I enjoyed guild wars up to the day i stopped playing it, and I certainly didn't run through all the content. I am the last person that would be out to trash the game... I just don't think it can be compare…
  • Originally posted by Salvatoris I'm fine with paying the monthly fee.. In fact, all the people using Guild Wars as an example of a an MMO without the monthly fee are just reinforcing my view on it. If Guild Wars is the best we can expect without a …
  • Originally posted by Protest Wait.. So you're telling me that game publishers are mainly interested in obtaining a maximum profit, in accordance with current market trends!?!?!!!??11 O noes!! We must Protest . This is our time to rize up!!! lol h…
  • I'm glad to see people agree and understand that some MMOs don't need a monthly fee. I already took back my disagreement with ncsofts montly fee because I didn't know that all you pay is the montly fee and you don't have buy the content and expansio…
  • tigris67, If you played it all that far back did you download it from the link here on mmorpg.com? www.newraja.com I did a google search and found some sites in other languages but I'm really confused as to whats the deal with the game. Are they m…
  • Vyava, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who realizes that a company can reduce or do away with the monthly fee and still profit. The point you bring up about EQ2 is a good one in that SoE in their monthly fee get to play all their games if you h…
  • Originally posted by Ghost-Hack just as a general rule... and you can look it up if you want...they dont turn a profit on box sales... the price on the box goes to game development, distribution, and promotions....in essense, without monthly fees, M…
  • techdata if its closed beta how are you able to play? Or are you saying its the best based purely on public released info? Also why such low end graphics have they been developing this game since Diablo II came out?
  • Originally posted by copperfwtx Well I agree that if you are paying a monthly fee AND for expansions, that's a bit much. However Other NCSoft releases such as L2 don't charge for expansions. You're already paying your monthly fee to maintain conte…
  • Originally posted by jdkskip You still have time to try it for your self, atleast 15+ days, so download it and see. Well that is why I made the post. No sense in me starting to play since it won't be there for long. I'd much rather here about it fr…
  • Originally posted by copperfwtx But a company has to have some kind of incentive to put the time into coding whole new content instead of directing those resources into all new games. I don't know of any company out there that does this just to los…
  • You mean to tell me a game this out dated isn't even in open beta yet. Thats sad. Its a good thing its free to play model otherwise the company will bottom up from the lack of game sales.
