Maybe a next gen MMO should have next gen topics on it's boards?
Come on guys, yer all talkin' crazy!
Sure - we have to wrestle with issues like costs and profit, but we also have to charge what the market will bear - and there's no realistic way that core subscription prices are going to go up.
It's simple macro-economics ... if we up our price by 25%, we probably cut off 1/2 our audience - so we end down 50% in total revenue. Sure our profit per subscriber would be up significantly, but we'd be reaching a significantly smaller pool of people. We're not just in this for the money - we're in this to deliver an experience that can embrace, amaze and entertain as many people as possible.
We're going to do a lot of revolutionary things and take a lot of risks - but gettin' all crazy with the subscription price isn't one of those areas.
