Molto interessante: una buona idea la open beta per un MMORPG come credo sarà Phantasy Star Universe. Qualcosa di simile accadde anche prima dell'uscita di WoW e fu una buona occasione per provare quanto stava per uscire.

Purtroppo leggo che per questo gioco ( e simili ) si paghera' un canone separatamente al live , mi sta bene questa soluzione per chi non vuole il live gold e vuole giocare solo questo genere di giochi ma per chi e' abbonato al live gold lo ritengo una 'ladrata'

Successe lo stesso anche la scorsa generazione, Phantasy Star Online per Xbox (anche per Cubo ad onor del vero) richiedeva un canone aggiuntivo, credo l'unico gioco a farlo. La cosa era tanto più "curiosa" (userò il termine curiosa, via...) se si pensa che PSO non era neanche un MMORPG in senso stretto (quindi con costi di gestione ridotti), ma tant'è...
Piuttosto, sono curioso di vedere la parte offline, spero venga qualcosa di qualitativamente accostabile all'ultimo episodio per MD.
