separate fees for Huxley
this month's official xbox magazine [yes, actual treeware] has a Q&A on the xbox 360 and the changes with xbox live. in it is this question and answer:
so that made me ponder, "is Huxley going to have separate charges aside from just purchasing the game [which, if next generation rumors are true, is gonna be like 60$ anyway]?" and i'm thinking to myself that this is likely, it is an MMO. i have no idea at all what those fees might be, but if they exist, i would peg them at somewhere between 5$ and 15$ a month, as this appears to be common for current pc MMOs. it sure would be nice if some kind of deal was worked out with microsoft due to already having purchased xbox live gold [cuz silver just ain't gonna cut it], but with the answer above, that seems unlikely. thoughts?
Q: Can I subscribe to a massively multiplayer online game with a Silver account?
A: Yes. While specific details are up to the individual publisher, massively multiplayer games will likely have separate fees, and you can play MMOs and pay those additional fees with a Silver membership.

Well its being launched for the PC and supposedly operating on the same servers between Xbox and PC users.
So to give Xbox players the game for free while the PC gamers support paying the upkeep of the servers... probably not going to happen.
Expect at least $14.95 monthly.
On a side note... Webzen has yet to produce a game that doesn't have a monthly cost.
