Even though subscription numbers are falling and new games are coming out, World of Warcraft is still the most fun MMO on the market. According to me, anyway.

MMO's launch with the wrong business model

MMO's launch with the wrong business model

With a focus on high profit and low content, large scale MMO's are doomed, according to Gene Hoffman.

Gene Hoffman is the CEO of the payment firm Vindica and has been focusing on MMO's for the past couple of years. Helping with titles usch as Star Trek Online, Rift and Champions Online, Hoffman believes that a weak launch period has forced a lot of companies to adopt the F2P model. Hoffman said some of the MMO's that are launching are "really bad", but that you don't want to say "that too loudly to them," but that you also need to tell them they need "a lot more content before they launch."

Hoffman suggested the possibility of a "paid beta" and to tell the users that it's pretty good and that you'll be able to play. Also tell the developers and users that you're "not going to fill the whole world until three months from now," but if they sign up now, they'll give them the game free after release. Hoffman also suggested other business models.

Hoffman also said something about how Apple's 30 % revenue was ridiculous, but that's neither here nor there, he is right about the MMO models. There has always been something other than my lack of time that has pulled me away from playing MMO's. More often than not, it's just something I'm either not interested in or will not continue to be interested in. To give a good example, I heard about APB some time ago back in 08 and the idea of a GTA MMO was great to me, but after a rocky start, I was quite turned off to the idea.

The game went into post-release hiatus then returned later this year and now has 3 million users worldwide on the free-to-play model. The game is quite good from what I've heard, but even though it's free, I probably won't be playing it any time soon without some better word of mouth. Hoffman knows where the best MMORPG's are at when it comes to having a balance between content and price and that a lot of games are simply not doing either.

FFXIV subscriptions resumption still 'out in the open'

Posted Apr 2, 2011 at 2:56AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: MMORPG Tags: final fantasy xiv online, Square Enix

You must be wondering how come Final Fantasy XIV's free-to-play period is still ongoing, when usually MMORPGs hold it only for a maximum of 30 days. Well, Square Enix has got the answer for you in a recent interview.

"It was pretty much personally because I've been a player for so long," explained new producer Naoki Yoshida. "I wanted to make sure that I would only ask the player to pay for something once the team had established a firm plan for improvements.

The rationale behind this logic, said Yoshida was to show the players that "yes, it's still costing us a lot of money, and we're not getting that money back yet, but we're serious about making these changes. This is one of the ways that we can show players that we are serious and we are taking it seriously."

As to the main question of when the resumption of charges will happen, Yoshida said it's "still out in the open."
