Carbine Studios reveals how gamers can play to pay upcoming sci-fi MMO Wildstar

Developer Carbine Studios and publisher NCsoft are announcing today that their upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game will support support multiple different business models.

The developer is positioning Wildstar, a science-fiction MMO for the PC, as a triple-A experience. It will sell the game at retail for $59.99, which gives players 30 days of playtime. After that time is up, gamers can subscribe for $15 a month, $42 for three months, $78 for six months, and $132 for a year. But skilled players that are going to spend a lot of time in the game might not need to purchase a subscription at all.
