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.

    Oh joy, a link to a link that is a word for word copy of a press release.
    Why cant someone just link to the orginal press release?

    Well the only good thing about this is maybe some fools with think the all access pass is worth their money now.

    The games that are going into "subscription bundles" or having subscriptionless options are usually under-performing compared to the opposition? Seems like this is more of a last ditch effort than a wave of future tidings.

    If World of Warcraft is any indication... Yeah, I think people do.
