MMOG Subscription Model Changes

Posted by Zonk on from the can't-imagine-why dept.

Blue's News has details on changes to popular MMOG subscription plans. Star Wars Galaxies has been folded into the Sony Online Station pass, which now allows gamers to pay one fee for all of Sony's Online offerings (EQ, EQII, PS, SWG, and the Station Games). In related news, the folks behind Anarchy Online also announced today that they're extending their subscriptionless service plan out until early 2006. Good news for folks wanting to try some new games.

    Blizzard explicity states that they won't delete your characters if you stop paying for your account.

      So does EQ. In the early day so of the game, Verant did a wipe of inactive characters and accounts and had the community up in arms because all of their Mules were gone...

      They don't do that any more.
