Have anyone tried out this MMORPSG(Massive multiplayer online roleplaying space game)?
It's what I find to be one of the best space games made, and the graphics are quite amazing. Sadly I cant run the premium graphics because my card cant handle it, but it still looks really good.
There's a 14 day trial and after that it's a monthly subscription  . It doesn't cost that much and personally I think you get way more than what you pay for.
The plot is quite good, but what is better is that you can go solo and still earn millions of ISK(Interstellar kredits). First you would think, yea well you shoot other ships and then that's that, but you are wrong because there's so much more in the game! You can get a mining ship and start mining asteroids for ore, and sell them for profit.
There a corporations that exists only for mining and it's usually those, that sell their ore(or the refined ore) to other players who use it to make fighters.
There's even a tv channel for the game(Computer only).
There are yearly tournaments that gets broadcast on the channel.
If you want to give it a try, and maybe meet me in-game then download the client and make a free account.

I think I posted on this like 2-3 years ago thinking I might get into it... I lost interest, and I don't think anyone else even responded. 
It does look nice online... I just don't like subscribing to games. I want to pay up front and then it is all mine! |

I feel the same way. I want to pay for the game and that's it, but it seems that more and more games are starting to charge monthly fees.

I really used to think the same thing. My problem with the pay $50 for software and then $xx.xx a month is the up front cost. If I'm paying so much a month, then I feel the up front cost should be greatly reduced.
Also, if I'm paying a monthly fee then I expect to get more out of it then just a single player/solo game. I expect to be able to play with a lot of other people, and expect regular updates, new content and just in general an evolving game. |
