Oh, and also, it is RIDICULOUS that the PS3 doesn't have 3+ MMOs (premium, charge-per-month) already in full swing, with 1 of them released shortly after the launch of the PS3.

Way to drop the ball, guys. You announced the flexibility and freedom of the PSN for MMOGs, then didn't actually develop any for the PS3.

I think they have one, it's a 2D free game with no charges, it can be dowloaded off the Japanese store.
I'm really hoping for no fees for MMOGs though, there are plenty I wanna play

 

 

But if you want to play great MMOGs you need to pay fees. The difference of quality between p2p MMOs and free MMOs is gigantic.

 

 

Yeah but that business model won't work on consoles, as proven by some MMOGs last and this generation, dedicated servers are a lot cheapers these days as well so that would make it feasible to have a free MMOG.

 

It's not just the servers that cost money but the workers who help the community with problems and SOE having to constantly update player skills,new areas, new level caps, new bosses, new items. Thats all very time consuming and costs a lot of money to develop and if you don't pay then the game will have a severe shortage of new content. WoW couldn't afford to release a new instance every few months if it was free, because it's not we get a new major instance every 4-6 months regardless of a new xpac.
