Although we are determining the final business model

Could be liable to change then.

Looks good though, and if it works, it should be great. NCSoft run Lineage, which is now the most popular MMOG worldwide, I think. Hopefully, this means that they know what they are doing.

while lineage has the most players (one million +) 90+% of them are in south korea.

Lets hear it for keeping promices.

How about you do a little research first. XBlive charges you for access to microsoft's dedicated servers that run all the neato games that are normally peer to peer on PC. It also covers you for free content downloads for stuff like Mechs and maps for mech assault and so on.

The hunter's license for PSO has nothing to do with MS, it is charged by the company that puts the game out, just like you had to pay to play it on the DC. What you've said is akin to you paying your ISP the monthly fee to play EQ.

considering you pay 4 bucks a month for XBlive after the free year, I don't think anyone should be complaining.

it just looks like it's a 3d "The Realm"

Lineage also has a fubar user system. Net cafes buy lots and lots and lots of liscenses on the cheap that people can use when they stop by,

The devs who are doing it formerly worked at Blizzard so it has the possibility of being good.
