Codemaster, that's the way out the door

If Codemaster were (or going to be) relevant to the mmorpg space, I would write about this (Lum did), but they don't.

Codemasters Online Gaming today announces ‘PlayPLUS’, a revolutionary subscription system for the hugely anticipated MMORPG ArchLord™. The PlayPLUS system will enable players to purchase packages that include both game time and in-game bonus credits. Credits will be redeemable against in-game items and benefits, such as experience bonuses, teleportation spells, health boosts and many other desirable enhancements.

Enjoy your way out of this industry. Noone is going to miss you.

I would also laugh so heartily if they could manage to convince Turbine to use that system on the soon to be failure MEO.

Shame on you, Sunsword.

Some RMT discussion goes back to some of my and others earlier comments. I suggested something like this might be attempted. Someone else pointed out that RMT isn't a complete failure as a model. But, it only seems to work in the korean market.

As it stands this idea doesn't sound terribly terribly bad. It isn't purely RMT after all and the items are just minor imbalances. They have some silly ideas about pricing models though. $39.99 ... just smells of exclusive. That sort of thing defintely does not encourage a 'coming together' of players.
