Why soooo expensive?

ivandoomer

I never seen before a MMO that costs 50 dollars and is monthly fee required! Plus 15 dollars/month!

Its more expensive than WoW, Age of Conan and any another good pay-to-play based game!

Any explanation for that?

Nearly every P2P MMO has the same price scheme.  Box is $40-50, sub is $15/month.  WoW was the same when it was new.  Conan, WAR, all the same.  A few months from now, if you can wait, the box will be $30-40 with the same $15 sub.

WoW to this day is 150 + dollars plus 15 dollars a month if you want all the expansions from the beginning what rock are you living under?  Sorry all MMOs that are P2P are 50 dollars when NEW and then 15 dollars a month after the first 30 free days.

 

You sir are...from space?  Mars perhaps?

Every MMO ever released that has a box has costed $50 on release. It is as standard as you can get, all of them do the same thing: Buy the box, get a month free, then start paying $15 a month to play.

 

Then months go buy and the free trial starts showing up. I don't know why everyone doesn't just wait for the free trial to start and then play, but hey I'm cheap.

It's kind of odd to say you've never seen an MMO that costs $50 that also have a $15/month fee then list off a bunch of games that cost exactly that. Just saying.

Umm..... Seriously?!

You have never seen a pay-to-play game that is 50$ at launch? Lots of MMOs cost about that price when at launch. WoW, Eve, WAR, LotR; All of those were about 50$ when they came out. Apparently you have bad luck finding some MMOs recently. It's been very slow for a couple of months with all the recent price drops. I checked Amazon.com the other day and WAR was selling for 10$ new! Not to mention I payed normal price just a few months ago.
