My coworker m3mnoch made a prognostication earlier this month, claiming that Runes of Magic will completely dominate subscription MMOs in revenue this year.
we all know that freemium games pwn subscription games as far as subscribers. this is what you don’t know yet: before the end of the year ‘09, runes of magic will announce they’ve also pwnt all of the subscription-based games’ revenue numbers — wow excepted, of course.
Looks like at 700,000 members in their Open Beta thus far, they’re paving the way. Good luck Runes of Magic, I’d love to see you do well and topple the traditional subscription model this year.
