Understand that these games are designed to hold many hundreds, even thousands of players at once. I'm not sure your hardware could hold the game universe, and certainly you wouldn't be able to handle the network load. They maintain the state of your character when you're offline, as well as tens of thousands of others. The first M in MMORPG is for Massive. You're paying the fees to maintain that system. |
Insightful comments; unfortunately, I've been out of the loop for sometime with regards to online gaming trends, so this really threw me. Plus I think $15. a month is excessive. Make it $3. a month and I'd do it.
