Vandaag heeft EA bekend gemaakt dat BF2 en al haar andere online spellen betaald zullen worden. Dit zal ongeveer op 1 Mei gaan.

EA is al druk bezig met een patch om dit over te zetten natuurlijk zullen alle servers ook omgezet worden naar dit systeem. Het doel hiervan is om de booster pack uitbreidingen voor iedereen beschikbaar te maken zo kan de hele community gewoon op elke server spelen.

Omdat je al je spel gekocht hebt en EA niet de slechste is zal de singleplayer wel beschikbaar blijven.

de kosten zullen ongeveer €10,- per maand zijn en te betalen via creditcard of speciale prepay kaarten die in de computerzaken te koop zullen zijn.

It's an april fool's, it has to be.  But yes what he was saying was that EA has just announced that you will have to pay a subscription fee for online play, just like an MMO.

The reason this can't be real is because MMOs charge subscriptions to cover server maintenance costs, but EA owns only a few servers, so they don't need to charge subscription fees.  The vast majority of servers are privately owned, by clans or other companies (like Comcast).

Im dutch and the first post doesn't make sense, even to me.

But it must be fake. Unless EA is willing to go trough all those lawsuits.

You know what's sad. If EA/DICE promised me ongoing patches in a timely manner to fix any and all bugs as well as monthly expansion maps for BF2 as well as better mod support and other interesting addons...
I might consider $10 a month. But everyone month it better be good. Yea it's a fake message but the possibilty is there if they got their act together.
