"The rumor originates from website Bitbag, which cites a PlayStation Undergroud survey asking "15 questions related to payment plans" for MAG."

It would make since if they were going to host there own dedicated servers for it.

Then is comes down to price and if people are willing to pay for it.

Here is a link to the survey. It's kinda hard to read most of it though. But Ea wants $125 a year for it. http://magsurvey.blogspot.com/

Actually, you don't need a gold subscription to play FFXI.

I think has more to do with cows harping on about the stupidity of paying for online play. I really don't think its an issue paying for online games, I do for a number of them.

Dude, think about it for a sec. XBL wants u to pay to play EVERY game online. This you are paying for MAG only. So if you dont buy MAG, no extra fees for u. Actually im curious about sumthing now, since ive never played an MMO on my Xbox360. Lets say buy AoC and thats the only game i want to play online. Do i have to pay for XBL AND AoC or can i just pay for AoC since they are the ones supplying me with everything i need to play online (servers and wat not)?

Age of Conan isn't out for the XBox 360 yet and they don't know if there will be a fee or not. The game isn't going to run on the same servers are the PC version I don't think. Most people who are still playing the horrific grinding game FF XI are playing it on the PC and not on the XBox 360. There may be a couple thousand people playing it on the XBox 360, while over 3 million people are playing it on the PC. I quit that game a long time ago. Was very boring.

As for MAG, playing $15 ever month adds up to$180 a year. That's a lot more then $50 a year for XBox Live and that's just for one game. If they do decide to charge a fee make it like $5 a month. I would pay that to play a great MMORPG on my PS3.

You only need to pay for AoC. You just need a free XBL Silver account.
