This is an MMO, ofcourse there's gonna be a monthly fee.

 

Guild wars is an MMO that doesnt have fees, and that is half decent

 

Guild Wars is just like Diablo II except that you can do trade with people in the Bnet lobby... err I mean the meeting areas.

I wanna see how they bring about a serious MMO to a console. I just can't even begin to imagine how WoW would be playable on a console. Also I hope that they have a completely different UI for the console and PC versions. I doubt consoles can handle the normal PC UI due to the controller and PC people dispise console UIs since they can't hold a dime to the PC game UIs. Wonder how it will all work out.

Like Kasz said. If there is a monthly fee, no deal. But if there isn´t I´m so getting this game. I love the DC Universe.

 

You don't even have a PS3 veio :)

On monthly fees, MMO games usually, but capable dedicated servers are dirt cheap nowadays and it's feasible to hold deidcated servers, have free online with an ever growing community and make money off DLC. Sony's own Warhawk (not MMO, I know) has grown from 300k to over 700k now. I'd also believe that they have made money on it otherwise they wouldn't release 3 maps.

Also Sony has a lot of MMOs coming out for the PS3 over the next couple of years, they cannot expect people to pay 6-10 a month for each game, it just ain't gonna happen, so I believe they'll either

A) Charge a flat monthly fee and you can play all the MMOs you want or
B) Keep it free and charge for DLC and expansions.

Ideally they'll go with option B as people have shown willingness to buy DLC and expansions.

 

I don't see how Sony can't expect them to be paying monthly fees. First off they bought a PS3 which in itself signifies the person has enough cash to burn on a luxury items/service. Second off MMO's are MMO's they do need to be upkept, and every single game has its own costs. Also monthly fees are generally 15 dollars per game. It's been like that nearly forever, with the exception of some of the MMO's that take less money to be upkept.
