Sony Online Discusses Broadening the MMO Market
2009-09-05 00:00:00
GameDAILY BIZ: The MMO market has obviously experienced a good deal of growth in recent years. How would you describe its current state? <br />John Smedley: The MMO market is currently experiencing its greatest upswing since SOE helped to define the genre in the late 90s.

In Asia, where there really is no console penetration outside of Japan, online gaming is what the audience is growing up with, and millions of people are playing hundreds of different games. We are in the early stages of the online renaissance that we helped to start. <br /> <br />BIZ: Is the subscription-based MMO market being limited by monthly fees? Is this turning people away?<br /> <br />JS: Subscriptions are one way to go and it's currently the biggest revenue driver in online gaming. I believe you will see upsell models (i.e. buying items, character appearance upgrades) begin to grow in a big way.

Warriors fus on pvp or pve as a matter of prtality. There were times when I would resp two or three times a week to hit arena, then tank heros, then dps in raids. After I got my s2 gloves, I said to hell with it. It was too mh work andost too mh money. With the advent of s1 gear being bought with honor and eellent almost T6 equivalent gear from badges, I've never looked bk at arena sie. It all depends on what you want to fus on and what you enjoy doing in the game.<br>I was running ST for DPS, I am Dual Wielding some dent blades. (level 39 quest rewards) and while ...
