But the Internet is also full of World of Warcraft players who did
that very thing.  It's personally not my cup of tea, but history has
shown that if the game appeals enough, and to a large enough audience,
getting 15 bucks a month from players isn't a problem.

At the same time there are plenty of MMORPG's that tried same and
failed.  Sometimes they fall back to a free to play models and
monetize it that way.

I'm interested enough to give this one a shot, but no MMORPG has been
successful at extracting a monthly fee from me to date.  Sugar babies,
well they are a different story.
