Dorathor said:While in the case of MMOs there is the cost of maintaining a server, and thus monthly payment is necessary, in the case of Warband where, due to the lack of a persistent world and the fact that games are deathmatch style, it would be very easy to make it so that each game server is the host pc itself, thus eliminating any maintenance costs there could be for servers. Because of this, there is no reason for taleworlds to charge a monthly fee. They could do it however, but it is something very unusual for this type of multiplayer.

It would likely improve the service quality and it could mean there would be more updates due to increased funding for taleworlds.
just look at xbox live compared with psn. (that's all i'm saying on it).
Believe me, it would be stupid of them to charge monthy just for a MP-addon. Armagan is smarter than that.captain lust said:Miclee said:There won't. It's going to be a one-time paid expansion.
can you say that for sure?
as far as I know, there has been no official word on pricing.
