City of Villains and Heroes Combine Monthly Fee
JamesO writes "Massive game players will have lots of options. NCSoft has announced that City of Heroes and City of Villains will only require one fee to play both games." From the article: "We know that many City of Villains players will be existing City of Heroes players who are essentially playing in order to access another aspect of the universe they have grown to love ... We wanted to find a solution that would look after existing players, offer tremendous value for money and also encourage new players to investigate the world of City of Heroes. This is that solution."
If they are completely seperate games (where you interact on the servers) kudos.
When everquest did this they started charging 150% (I think) rather than the same price. It was kinda crap but also understandable, but here there's two things to realize,
A. The only change is storage space.
b. If the world is always the same for both games and you only log on one game at a time, there's no extra load by doing this.
Overall I'm happy they did this, but it's not going to change anything for me. (The plague in WoW got me into that though so we'll see)
