A monthly subscription will keep immature gamers off with any luck.

Hopefully it will be less than the usual cost ..

It will be alot of money to buy both live and pay fees for for Huxley. The PC gamers only pay the fees while we 360 owners have to pay both, and thats most definetaly not fair. And wasent it true that the PC and 360 version is connected, so you will still run on immature persons no matter how old they are.

I say that they should make the game more expensive from the beginning and skip the fees, OR they could just give you one of those cards like Microsoft is doing with its live.
Give out Huxley Online cards to buy at local gaming stores and type the password in and you are online for a month for the next card you buy.

I am no way in hell paying for both XBL and Huxley fee its dumb. Besides I dont have Visa, MasterCard on my creditcard so I couldnt pay the fee anyway, only my dad has it and he refuse to lend out his number (hes scared as any other parents out there). Though the 360 will have campaign so I might buy it for the campaign to see how the game is. IF it was truly worh it I would try and solve the creditcard stuff so I can pay monthly for it.

Sath: im pretty sure that games like these will be payed seperate from xbox live. FFXI is, this means that you can have a silver account but if you pay for say FFXI monthly then you can still play it online without a gold subscription. This will probaly be the same for any MMO game, i guess its just up to the developer though.

Well he may still have a point--FFXI does not attract the same audience as Huxley--there's no standard for FPS/MMO crossover games really..we don't know how well recieved a sub for this game will or would be, because no one has really designed a game quite like this before..

I'd say the concept is unique enough that it's still not certain how people will like paying montly for this game. Personally, I am interested in Huxley; but perhaps not enough to pay 15/mo for it--hopefully it won't run that steep.

New information on Huxley from Gamespy

PC version will be multiplayer only
Xbox 360 version will be single and multiplayer
Xbox 360 players will go up against PC players on multiplayer
There is one catch to playing single player, you need to be a member of Xbox Live Gold, even if you are not playing multiplayer

Where's the link on Gamespy? I don't know.
(pretty queer the site mentions Gamespy as the source and wouldn't link the article)

Wtf..If they going to force people on to live, then they should make it free.
It doesn't bother me as i've always and will always be on gold. There's a lot of people (kids, students) who will lose out

Maybe they could have a discount for gold memebers lol ..

Thing is it costs a lot to keep these servers going lag/problem free not only this..

If you think of WoW 6 million users each paying £8 a month you soon realize just how much profit can be made from these games..

The thing with MMO's is you can only afford to support one (probably 2 at the most) it really depends what type of games your into. (MMO's aren't for the casual gamers anyways)
Oh Jolli, you of all people know this is not true since we both play(ed) FFXI I need not say more.
I hear what you are saying but, a monthly fee would put of gamers who aren't really into the game, so you get less time wasters and trouble makers.

Any word on the release date? Gamespot lists it as being Q3 06 for both PC and 360. I remember reading in EGM that it'd take them a few extra months to get the 360 one finished.

Hey guys,

Just to clear up a bit the game is slated for 360 about a month to 2 months after the pc release.

some people consider the fee on 360 unfair because of xbox live i would say it was unfair if you had to have xblive but you can play it on the free silver membership also. the actual game server is not a microsoft xbox live hosted server they host the own specialized server which require alot of up keep.

you get your normal channels on tv for free aslong as you keep paying your tv licence, you get sky and cable for an extra fee for the extra quality and uniqueness noone moans about having to pay more on top of there tv licence for extra channels MMO's work the same way unless they are so instanced they bearly resemble MMO's like GW's

i like the look of this game and will probably get it on both 360 and pc so me and my fiancee can play it.
