I think the nature of subscription based game development. DDO, Lotro, and hopefully Age of Conan will show developers that you can charge a sub for a while and then make the switch to a hybrid model. Perhaps publishers will take this into account …

You might want to cast your eyes over the recent article linked above and it's many comments.
I have to admit that I enjoyed the endgame content in Lich King. However, it was the first time I had gotten a character to level cap in any game - I play a lot of games and a lot of alts. The dungeon grind was new and exciting.

There is a Michel and Little Delving. Michel is the starter town for Hobbits and Little Delvin is a type committed by me. ;p

Some good points, Jon. As far as pricing plans go, I think there may be an element of perceived value. If a game charges less, players may see it as not as good as "proper" mmos or a game for kids or a title in t…
