Hey MooDy

What is the monthly cost of playing this online??

 

[MooDy]

I think that its $15 - but that is coming from one of the PS3 forum members and I dont know where he got that figure from cause I cant find any reference to it.

PS3 or PC Mike?

Ag thats fine, I would just use my 4meg line here at work over night to download updates and all that

LoL I know most of the online gamers who buy this will have better than normal adsl lines - but its only fair to warn everybody.

13GB That is insane.

I'm still waiting for the PS3 guys to finish thier install but at the moment its looking more like its towards the 3gb size.

Has anyone actually started playing this?

 

[DenSweeP]

DC UO sub fees.

 

[sycogrim]

For $200 I think thats not bad for a lifetime joining fee but its still BFS... I wanna play for free if I buy it off the shelf

 

[Grimspoon]

Lifetime joining fee for PC but not PS3? :wtf:

I dunno if id do the lifetime joining fee if they did. MMOs fail to commonly. Id wait and see what happens. Do u get the traditional 30days free when u buy it on ps3?

 

[DenSweeP]

SOunds like lots of fun, but fortunately/unfortunately? I'm not into MMOs.

 

[Isengard]

I don't play monthly fees for games period. I'll wait for Guild Wars 2. Pity since this game doesn't look too bad.

It seems the PS3 and PC servers are separate (which is daft). Will suck, if say, the PS3 servers get low. Best bet is to go with PC version since PC users are more likely to adopt the game longterm, compared to console players.

From what I am reading also, content is perhaps very slim (even when compared to other new releases). Combat is also pretty fast paced, which is a nice change, but you guessed it, latency will slap you around if you connection sucks.

*Edit* Gah! May have to at least give this a try.

I've been playing MMO's for couple of years now on 386kb and I do be pretty well. Going to trying this when it arrives in post.

Cant decide if I should get it. Can anybody tell me if it's worth it? R350 for game then R100 a month?! Bit rough...
