This game looks pretty neat, but monthly subscription? I rather pay a larger but one-time fee. At least there's a free version, but that would let all the kids with their iphone/ipods in. Hopefully the community chat won't fail. I'm really glad that they didn't put a time limit for the free users. Actually to be honest, time limits almost never help for me. I never bought/subscribed to any game that didn't let me explore enough due to the freaking time limit. This may be the 1st game I'll subscribe to but that all depends on my experience beforehand.

@Rozz : PVP is fully integrated into the game, at first I wanted the whole galaxy to be free to PVP – but, during testing, we've found it unfeasible to have it open in the government areas. Therefore, all gvmt areas now have supression to stop weapons being fired…

.. however, everywhere outside is open game. For those that like PVP it's incredible in scope.. you are literally free to do what you want – but, for those that don't like that side of thing, there is /plenty/ of space to disappear into.

Hope that answers your question – we've catered for the PVPers, because it make a galaxy feel more realistic.. but at the same time we have safe areas for those who aren't interested (and/or are newbies).

I've been playing kg for a few months with paid subscription and love it. I've been looking forward to Outer-Empires for a while. I'll definately be getting a subscription on it.it looks awesome and lets face it guys it only $3. 75 cent a week isn't gonna break the bank.

I've played kingdom game (pauls other mmo) for almost a year. I can't wait for OE to be released. The subscription price is well worth the money. Paul is totally accessible to his players, always willing to answer questions or deal with problems.

I think Asheron's Call would actually work VERY WELL on the iPhone. The graphics are about right, and if they can simplify the interface… I would totally subscribe (again) to the game!

While I am not generally against monthly subscriptions for MMOs, I see some problems with people paying monthly subscriptions so the developers can produce updates to the game. iPhone users expect developers to update their games/apps at no extra charge and might see your new content as something they should not have to pay for. Although, with the rise of in-app sales and microtransactions, those days of update entitlement might be over soon.

Looks like a fun game. I'll be sure to give it a try.

Looks great but not great as 4 dollar per month great for me. Rather stick with free mmo in pc since i use internet on ipod rarely and play game on my ipod in my home rarely too.
