Hey, if the game actually turns out to contain all the features they've promised and plays well, they'll have pulled off a gaming miracle and I'll be more than happy to pay them 20 bucks /mo to play the game. But thats a big if of course.
The money isn't really an issue so $50 would not be out of the question. I go out for an hour and $50 would be gone easily so for 25-50 hours of gameplay a month the money is a no brainer.
If the game was feature complete as stated by the developers I would pay $100 as nothing would even touch it and value for money in hours is easy to justify.

Are you nuts? No way in hell would I pay that much. What kind of disposable income do you have? 15 dollars a month is currently the high end of monthly fees, and the norm for most commercial pay-to-play MMOs in the states. I wouldn't be willing to pay more than 20. I think a 20/mo price point would be really ballsy for a game with so little publicity.

I am currently paying circa $15-20 a month for a number of games in Europe for games that are pretty poor , a beer will cost me $5 multiply that by 3 and a few for friends ... then it's not about disposable income it is about the cost of recreational activities ... gaming classes as one for me as I enjoy it (just do the maths).
If i get really involved in a game I will play a lot and I tend to save a lot of money. If this game delivers on it's features then it is something that will bring a lot of people a lot of joy(thats if it ever does). So no the ammount quoted is not a lot if you look at the bigger picture and the time an individual plans to spend within a game.
And no I am not nuts, Europe is an expensive place to live sadly but the money saved by sitting at PC far outweighs the current cost per month of these games

I voted 15$. Thats what i have payed for any other MMO.
Maybe after i have tryed the game, i would pay 50$.
