Would you be willing to drop $200 on a AAA MMO if it meant getting a consistantly updated game with good support, and never having to worry about a monthly fee or cash shop?

It depends, I would need a pretty awesome trial.

This has been tried several time. Lotro was one. They all developed a cs.
You know, in ancient Egypt. One of the hieroglyphics on the walls of the pyramids actually says 'I am upset as my heir will ruin my kingdom' or something to that affect. This is 5000BC stuff and you know what? Nothing has changed. :P |

Absolutely not. Look at those people who got burnt with lifetime subs in other games.  My XIVPad: [video]http://xivpads.com?13754614[/video] |

Give 200€ to some company and at same time lose all control ,not so good idea,people should learn from what Anet just did. Sub is a must.

i said no. once they have the 200, whats driving them not to suck once the rush of new players is over? without some kind of revenue the game becomes nothing but a drain on the company and no company in existance has the ethics to maintain a game just becuase they promised to.

Here is why this would be a terrible idea. The company if it had any sort of business acumen would pocket the $200 from each fool, and then sit back and do nothing. There would be no incentive for updating content ever.

i dare say all these people coming up with these type of topic threads might be employees of gaming companies.... stop the crap. It has been many years already since the last mmo was worth even $15 a month, or more than $60 for a box. Do you really think mmos are failing because they arent charging enough? It is exactly the opposite, the gaming companies now only breath money and want to charge for everything, or charge higher prices. Anything they do now with much better quality than what we have now, its worth what they are currently charging. If you cant see and understand that then would you care to show us how much they are paying you for those idiotic posts? "in peace, in sleep under the barren, abandoned soil"

Didn't vote as "it depends" wasn't an option. I'd need to know the developer, the publisher and the principals before I dropped $200 on a game. And a trial. |

Actually I think it's very reasonable for gaming companies and publishers to take polls like this in order to figure out how to market games. The world is changing, tech is changing, players are changing and it's hard to keep up with it all. |

$200 for a game? I won't pay that for ANY game. There are just too many good alternatives.

Originally posted by nariusseldon $200 dollars for a game? I won't pay that for ANY game. All of the alternatives out there are shallow offerings that fail to hold my interest over the long haul. I've been burned by paying for a 6 month sub for Rift and a 3 month sub for Tera and dropping out of both games in about 1.5 months. No mas. Even EVE, which I've gone back to several times and have almost 4 years playing time isn't worth this sort of deal, heck I might tire of it for good tomorrow.

Yep I dropped $200 on the TSW lifetime as well, and I'd buy the LOTRO one if it was still available. The concept isn't new but OP is putting a new spin on it. |
