it, just what kind we don’t know. And Ryan isn’t talking…so

If they adopted the "WOW" model of MMORPG's, I won't even put it up<br>
or buy the game. "WOW" may be pulling in $MIL's at first, but if you<br>
notice after Matrix online, ALL newer MMORPG's have $0 monthly fee<br>
and WOW is OOOPS, losing market share big time.<br>
<br>
If you are going to "charge to play", I expect your servers will be
empty<br>
and I am glad it is not my venture cap. in there. Especially when so<br>
many gaming resellers, like the ones on this list, put up large ones<br>
for free, which aids in the sales of servers to gaming clans.<br>
<br>
That is the COD model. If it is like MMORPG, or like "EA"
Registered<br>
vs. "Unregistered" it is dead already. Join the BF2 list,
and look<br>
at what they are saying... ALL the non-registered servers are empty,<br>
killing the COD type gaming model, and at about the same time BF2<br>
has a add-on coming out that everyone is excited about...
"Yawn".<br>

<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
Linux Bin. would help a lot. I want to launch a server asap, so I am also
looking for people to help setup and run a new gaming site, unlike anything
seen so far. <br>
This will be fully funded with deadlines and bosses...<br>
Must know there way around the games and programing.<br>
