Considering all the sub MMOs I've played run for about $15 (US) a month and as current currency exchange is showing that as being about equivalent to $14.41 that seems to be just about right.

dont forget how the currency converts over to yen, since we are at least considering a jap company, i can bet that the £ goes a lot further then euros or dollars over there

Wat u on about?

I ment £9 a month for a game in General is steep, every other game £40 or less for life

But 40 pound don't get you free content updates look at like this you get content normally 4-6 times a year and it's like adding a new game every update so it's like buying a new game 6 times a year for only 18 pound imo quite cheap

I understood what you meant. You're confusing regular console type games with subscription type games.

The 40 or less for life games you buy the game and that's it. The game as released is all you get unless they give out expansions and the like (which you have to pay for).

The monthly subscription games are different in that they are given dynamic updates as you play them that you don't have to pay extra for. They're also typically much larger and have much less time between updates than the single pay game has for expansions. And, typically, these cost about the equivalent of £9 a month.

Don't get me wrong id pay £20 a month haha coz I love the game and buy anything "final fantasy" related

Was just thinking over a year the total cost, I know other mmos are same price but am sure ff11 charged for expantion pack too

I take it the price is to cover the severs costs? And constite bug fixing and adjusting stats and game macanics to keep it balanced

Pretty much all MMOs charge for actual expansions. The difference between them and regular console games is that you also get major content added in between expansions. So it's that and the servers, minor fixes you mentioned that we're paying for.

Regarding the subscription and the free content, is that true that WoW charges for the monthly subscription AND the DLC/expansions?! It seems a rip off to me, those should be covered by the subscription, shouldn't they? Any word about what SE plan is on this regard? Because I would not be happy at all if they charge for the (potential) extensions as well.

As far as I'm aware, that's how it works for all sub games. The $15 a month covers the server upkeep, minor/major game fixes as well as major patch content. But, the expansions cost extra because they're a much larger amount of content all at once.
