I read the new Game Informer. I don't mind paying online, especially for this game. BUT, I hope it's not like WOW, which got a lot after a while.

I'm hoping it's only 4 bucks a month or so.

I don't think it's been confirmed. If it had a monthly fee, I think Sony/Zipper would have announced it by now.

Um, you'd be willing to pay 4 bucks a month or so to play one game online, yet cows bash 360 owners for paying the same to play all games online.

Not implying that you are a cow though squall, just saying in general.

The game that hte other developer made along the same lines (Planetside) was $15/month. But I don't really care... I'm not interested in MAG even if it's free to play.

I'll reply in song:


"You thought wrong, 15strong. MAG demands a monthly fee all year long." It's good your fond of the number 15, because if you play MAG, you're going to be seeing it a lot. Monthly, in fact.

you people are fools if you think there will not be monthly fees. First off, it's an MMOFPS. Second, 256 players = high maintenance servers = monthly fees.

this really isnt an mmo though. its zipper the old makers of socom right. well in EVERY socom the lobbies all held 256 people, the same number of people mag will have in each map. so if we never had to pay to have 256 people in each lobby why would we need tofor 256 for each one now. i mean we are holding the same amount of people per server just we are all in the same game now. i have the gi and havent read it yet, but i dont think they confirmed a fee yet

thats different pay for an "mmo" (which i dont think it is) cause if an mmo was on live lems would have to pay live fees and mmo fees. plus a small amout of cows will get it as i dont see it growing to be a huge game, while some cows have to pay to play an "mmo" every lem still has to pay to play at all online

uh yes they do have a choice, it's called silver membership. Just like you, they can either play the game for free offline or play it online for a fee, will MAG even have single player offline? Probably not, so you won't even be able to play the game UNLESS you pay the fee. LIVE users can get any game, playing online is a choice.

Why are people acting like this is a new thing? It is something we have always known would be a possibility from the start.

Dedicated servers running 256 players a game are not cheap I imagine.
