I've had City of Heroes since launch and I pay the $15 a month but I know that money is guaranteeing they do their best to keep their servers up and running. Glitches/hiccups occur here and there which is understandable as technology is not perfect.

But I feel charges should only really pertain to MMORPG's because they have HUGE, and I mean HUGE servers to maintain and insanely fast connections to maintain. They can't just let you use them free of charge every month otherwise MMORPG's would die out.

And with CoH, the devs promise a new content update every few months (preferably 2 months or so) to keep the game fresh and make sure people get what they pay for. The firs tone just came out recently and I'm already enjoying it with the $15 I pay them.

Games like UT or any FPS's are more maintained by servers people make. Companies can put up servers to use but they dont cost nearly as much to maintain as MMORPG servers do.

And games like Starcraft don't need insane connections and servers to run. They are older and don't send/receive data nearly as much as other games would

*edit*
and btw..if anyone picks up CoH, Put your char. on Pinnacle server (thats what I'm on)
