Package
Los Angeles
(Thursday,
September
28) –
ArchLord,
the MMORPG
where one
player will
rule the
world, will
ship to
stores in
North
America on
October 3,
Codemasters
Online
Gaming
confirmed
today. It is
also
announced
that the
game’s
subscription
package will
now follow
the
traditional
standard
monthly MMO
payment
model rather
than the
proposed
PLAYplus
system,
which was
tested
within the
game’s beta
phase.
The PLAYplus
payment
system
allowed
players to
choose from
a range of
monthly
subscription
packages,
each
offering
different
levels of
in-game
incentives
at varying
price
points.
Following
experimentation
with the
system
within the
beta test
and
monitoring
the feedback
from
thousands of
ArchLord
community
members, the
PLAYplus
system will
not be
implemented
for the
game’s
release.
ArchLord
will now
launch with
a standard
monthly
subscription
of $14.99,
(plus
applicable
taxes). The
single
monthly
subscription
will also
include free
credits for
all players
to redeem
against
in-game
enhancements.
All players
will receive
the same
amount of
credits as
part of the
single
monthly
subscription,
providing a
level
playing
field for
all
subscribers.
“We have
listened to
our
community
and
delivered.
From the
start of the
test of the
PLAYplus
system, we
had an open
dialogue
with players
to monitor
reactions to
the system,”
said Ed Relf,
director of
marketing,
Codemasters
Online
Gaming.
“Here at
Codemasters
Online
Gaming we
place great
importance
on our open
dialogue
with players
and our
ability to
react
positively
to their
constructive
feedback. We
wish to
thank all
players that
spent time
testing
PLAYplus and
the detailed
feedback
they
provided
which
assisted in
reaching the
final
decision.”
Codemasters
Online
Gaming is
currently
evaluating a
series of
other
additional
in-game
benefits to
reward the
games most

players with
more details
to follow
soon. There
