I really really excited about mp but afta some one had said that there will be monthly payment im not sure but hope that there no monthly payments lyk WOW or Rs or MU
 
I don't know what the yes or no is for.

Is it: "will there be a monthly payment?" or "should there be a monthly payment?"

my answer is no to both anyway.

Infact this really doesn't need discussion.

It's multiplayer to a game.

It is not an mmo so I highly doubt there will be monthlys.
 
  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.
 
Why would there be a monthly payment in a game like mount&blade? This isn't an MMO and they don't have to keep updating the world and putting work into it. :/

That said, I do think there are plans for official servers to be hosted.
 
As with what others have said, and from what I could gather from the interviews and snippets of Armagan's posts and co. around, I would have to agree that it would be like an FPS styled online play. You could start a server by yourself if you so desire.
 
Monthly payment? What is this? World of Douchebag?
Hell no, monthly payment is for idiotic WoW-ish games

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).

That's the console market though, which is a different beast anyway.

As to the OP, I'd very much doubt there'll be a monthly fee - it will be like CounterStrike, CoD 4 etc

Official servers will be covered by the income raised from the expansion and ongoing sales. I know UbiSoft ran some official servers for the original Far Cry's online mode, this was without a monthly fee to the player.

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.
Believe me, it would be stupid of them to charge monthy just for a MP-addon. Armagan is smarter than that.
 
There's no monthly fee because they haven't said there is one. So stop it with these threads/posts. If they say there will be later on then discuss it. Look at games like Left 4 Dead... hosted servers... multiplayer... NO fees. Leave it alone.
