How much for subscription

[Kitya]

£8.99 is abit steep, should be around a fiver

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.

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.
