Unfortunately more and more companies look at what SOE is doing and copy them as fast as they can. Its no longer about making fun games that keep people subscribed, and its no longer about being happy with just raking in millions on subscriptions. Now it is all about nickle and diming the hell out of your customers and squeezing all the money out of them that is possible.
Build a solid game.
Include large amounts of fun and varied things to do.
People will subscribe.
Include updates of REAL content(not rebalancing) a couple of times a year, and people will stay subscribed.
Profit.
