Did you ever wonder just exactly where the big boys of MMOs are headed in the near future? Next Generation's article, 'MMO Giants Prepare for War', should satisfy some of that curiosity. Here's a snipling:
Anderson says, "The American MMO is suffering under what I call an Ultima Online hangover. When we first launched the game at EA, and EA was trying to figure out how to price it, there weren’t a lot of good examples of how to do it. So they said, ‘hey, people understand retail.’ And they went with this model, which is all you can eat. Fifty dollars, up front, free for thirty days. So if I asked anybody in this audience today ‘how much is the first month subscription of any of our products?’ and people will say ‘It’s free,’ Right? Wrong! What is the first months subscription? It’s fifty dollars!”
