Bite your tongue! NO WAY!<br><br>
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><br>

need to know if the server will be on the COD2 cd. I did not see anything
at Activision. I know this sounds like a stupid question but I heard it
was not and Activision was following WOW's model. After they saw that WOW
was bringing in 15-17 mil. a month.<br>

</font><font face="arial" size=2>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>
Thanks<br>
