I would assume he's referring to The Old Republic.  There hasn't been any info released to my knowledge concerning a monthly fee, but I'm sure there will be one.  Especially if it ends up as popular as they're hoping it will be.  I'm sure it will be reasonable if there is one, and there will probably be an option for a free trial to give the game a try.  We'll just have to wait and see!

The game itself comes with 30 days of free game play, and after that there will be a fee. And no, I haven't spent any time on the forums.... :D

the line from bioware right now is that they will have a monthly fee comparable to other triple a mmos. so in all probability 15-17 bucks a month

Thats great news!  That still makes it cheaper than going to the movies.

Yeah 15 bucks a month is no biggie. Especially for something like this, that I know I'll use the heck out of.

I'm hoping they have a policy like some MMOs have:  if you decide to cancel your membership, your characters don't get deleted so if you want to join up again later, they're still there and playable.  I just feel like I'm gonna play the HECK out of this game for a few months, then end my membership (I hope I can break away that quickly lol), then maybe come back later.  That's what I do with KOTOR, I keep reinstalling it and playing through it again and again every half a year or so haha

With the just released announcement, the monthly price is set at 14.99.  However, if you make a "one-time payment" of 41.97 for 3 months, or 77.94 for 6 months, the price would actually be a little less than paying for it each month.

That's Not To Bad At All, As Long As They Stay In That Range, They Won't Hear Me Complain ;)!!!
