I paid roughly $3.55 for 42 hours of game time on Aion Chinese before the game launched, so it really isn't as bad as you're making it out to be. Just checking now, it's running $5.45 for 62 hours 30 minutes, roughly nine cents per hour. Avg. 40 hours a week on an MMO and you pay $15.59 a month, slightly more than it costs a month now. In general, it comes out to be better, especially if you have a few days where you don't play, and it carries over into the next month.

I believe it was PC Gamer that did a six month MMO section in their magazine a while back. I can't quite remember the exact amount, but I believe it was your average MMO (a $15 a month payment) brings in somewhere near 65% profit. Around $9.75 is all profit after paying workers, server maintenance, etc, etc. I honestly think $10 / month is quite fair.

Maybe do it like the Chinese / Koreans do, and pay for how many hours you play, which really ends up coming up quite close to $12 a month if you play 6-8 hrs a day average.

Really looking forward to how other cities interact as well as just checking out everyone's cities and possibly incorporating other peoples unique ideas in my own city.

Finally may give me a reason to pick it back up. =]

Why would anyone pay for a feature such as this when games such as Vanguard already offer it (and more) free of charge?

Dragonblight looks awesome. :D

Go Elf Shadow Warriors :)

Vanguard, mainly because of what it was supposed to be, but now it's beginning to finally come together. Although some changes have occurred, some good, some bad, it's still a great game with a great community and customer service. I look forward to it's future and everything in store for it.

Be sure to check out the trial which was recently released.
