I think the poll and responses were formed wrong.
Will I pay to play via what they have outlined?
Yes, I will. I will most definitely pay the $9.95 as listed.
But only until I finish one player, one time, through the game.
As I am already almost in krok and have been playing just one day, I do not feel this will be a long period of time for me to find and kill the bad guy
IF they have the next world available.
It does not appear to be a continuing storyline. At some point you will catch the bad guy, and they are under the assumption you will wish to start over with a new person. I, however, am very happy to finish and be done with it.
Quest mmorpg's have very little appeal to me. For example, I reached the end of the Pirates Online storyline, in one month, got to level 40, and have never logged in again. I have no secondary player in that game. I know what happens, I know how to play, and I know how it ends. Therefore, I'm done.
That was the appeal of VMK, it was never ending...but I won't go into that.
Do I feel that amount they are asking per month to be egregious?
Yes, yes, yes.
If you look at the amount asked per month, compare to other mmorpg available now, they are asking at least $5.00 more per month. I had read somewhere, but I am not certain about this, that you can have more than one log in per email address (account). I know that I have two log-ins for my one email address now. If that is how it will be, then that is a bit more fair for families. However if you are a single player, then this amount is extremely high. Also, this is marketed toward tween players. I can't imagine any tween I know paying $10 per month for this game. I can't imagine my parents paying $10 per month if they had a tween player living at home.
