NCsoft brought most of the new features in MMORPG.. email support , 14.99 price tag , free expansion , free game download. Rather cheap collector's box (I got my box with the winged race for 41.00 US , included some nice items and in game item.. i think a mask? dont remember.
I think NCsoft is gonna attempt something new with this MMORPG. I m gonna bet on either of 2 options :
1) Free to play service on 1 or 2 servers , with a time limit of 30 hours a week, with a special item mall for this server. The remaining servers will be p2p with a 17.99 to 20.00 fee.
2) Free to play service , with a Dungeon Runner style service , if you pay you get access to more areas , free expansion , bigger bags, greater collection of weapons/gear, access to different classes, and better xp rates. The service will take a step in another direction , you will be about to get 12.00 a month or 3 months for 9.99 each
