Is there a monthly fee?
Sadly, I found this on Wikipedia:
"According to a Sony spokesperson, the revenue model will be subscription based with a user cost of $14.99 per month[15], rather than using microtransactions.[16] Eurogamer.net has confirmed for the UK the subscription will be £9.99 a month, £27.99 for three months, and £49.99 for six months. The cost for Australian subscribers is $19.95 AUD."
...Which is weird. You would think no one would dare use the pay-to-play approach to games nowadays. With all the great online RPG's out there like Guild Wars, and all the microtransaction-based Korean titles, having a subscription-based game is going to severely limit their playerbase.
I know I'm not going to get it if it's actually subscription-based. I already play one game that costs me monthly and I have no interests in having two going at the same time.
