I'm glad to hear this. A shooter MMO could be a big hit, if done better than Planetside, and I think Sony has learned their lessons well.

Not going with subscription is the best choice they could have made. Have micro-transactions for character customizations and other non-game balance breaking things, but advertising is the smart way to go.

MMO's who try to go with a monthly payment will find it harder and harder to survive.

I total disagree. different transaction/sub types all have their place. The monthly sub will not be more difficult to use as a method of transaction . It will, however, define a particular type of MMORPG and expectations of that MMORPG. I think the paid expansion will go the way of the dodo eventually but not the monthly sub.
