WTF is up with all these "subscription fee" threads?

WTF is the web address of this site??

MMORPG.com

Have you people never played an MMO before? I mean a REAL MMO, not Diablo2 or Guild Wars...

MMORPG=Subscription fee... between 10-15 bucks a month is standard, so:

ENOUGH ALREADY!

Get a jorb and a debit card and STFU!

    MMORPG = Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Play Game



    MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online (Game)



    MMORPG and MMO's may or may not have monthly subscription fees depending on what game you're playing...



    Subscription free is nice



    Lots of us are freaking tired of paying monthly subscription fees... ENOUGH ALREADY

    By man shall his blood be shed
    For immunity of God make he the man
    Destroy all that which is evil
    So that which is good may flourish
    And I shall count thee among my favored sheep
    And you shall have the protection of all the angels in Heaven."

    I'm freakin tired of paying for all sorts of things.  I don't understand why we should even have to buy games at all.  They should just give them to us!

    Having seen Guild Wars, the arguments for subscription fees seem so much weaker than they used.

    /talk about mudflation and dev corruption Yeah, a welfare sponsored MMORPG....  Not with this administration.  A month in and they'd make cut backs and then nobody would be able to play. LOL.

    I had a jorb once, but had to give it over to the proper authoritities after it bit my third nipple off... Stay away from jorbs, they really are mindless killers. Like pit bulls only less cuddly.

     

    Honestly dude, I dunno what year you just travelled from, but people have been bitching about this since about the time it was released that in "ultima online" you had to pay to play.

    By the way welcome to the year 2007 enjoy your stay.

    Next stop 2008, crap what a bad year.

    Well its just that I'm bemused that its still happening at this level. I always excpet to see a few crackpots going on about it, but their must be a new crop of teenies who's parents are smart enough not to let them use their credit cards.

    Think of how it might be:

    Quest:  Collect 10 rat tails in 20 minutes. With "Typical goverment efficiency" you actually can complete the quest with only 6 tails and can take as long as you want.

    Travel:  There would be public transportation however it wouldn't go directly where you want it to do.  You will have to switch rides often until you get somewhere near your destination.

    Dungeons:  Each are lovingly hand crafted by contractors. Too bad they happened to be the lowest bidders on the project.

    Free cheese.

    ROFL!! Brilliant!

    A healing system which involves being put on a long waiting list.

    City guards that won't lift a finger to protect you unless you actually die.

    An enormous number of GM & CSRs paid to make sure that nothing ever changes in the game.

    We should write to our senators and representatives about this! Finally a chance to get ahead of welfare states and take the US Government online! After all, the US Army has already made a first person shooter...

    The game would have to be politically correct.  Instead of Evil it would be differently good.

    Give this man a prize. We need Politically Correct Online, PCO. Available persuns:
    Height Challenged Facial Hair Growth Enabled Persun (Dwarves)
    Height Enabled Facial Hair Growth Challenged Persun (Elves)
    Political Moderate Persun (Human)
    Persun of Mixed Moderate and Height Enabled Descent (Half-Elf)
    Death Enabled Persun (Undead)

    Classes that are not meant to be defining, stereotyping, or limiting in any way of any persun:
    Activist, Poll Worker, Anchor Persun, Middle-Manager, College Professor.

    Though, couldn't we say that Republicans are evil safely? I mean, that'd be the evil faction in a PCOG wouldn't it? Though the "differently good" thing is really probably best.

    This would be the best game ever...

    I don't see why we can't think outside the box and break the paradigm of monthly paid subscriptions.

    The current payment plans just enable developers to release unfinished games and have people pay to beta test their game, so-to-speak.

    Not only that, but it's just outrageous that we collectively shell out tons of cash and receive the same rehashed timesinks and grinds that we saw released the previous quater, and the quater before that, and the quater before that...

    I may be alone, but I for one am getting seriously burned out on this crap and I really hope that a game comes out soon that actually delivers.
