There's currently a 'tiered spender promo' where you get a particular set of equips if you spend 50 dollars, and I guarantee that in a few days the in-game market will be full of people hawking that set, so Aeria will have made thousands just off that one promotion. Considering that they do constant promos, all in all they're probably making far more than they would on a subscription model.
man there was nothing like having a char based on agility and str back in old days and having epic dungeon wep drop in old MMO dungeon crawl and it had +50 agility +50 str, this made weps only valuable to certain classes as the drops could contain ANY combination of toon attributes... if it dropped and had +50 mana it was only good for a mage, so it made things far more exciting and items became worth in game GOLD which kept community alive, things have changed so much since old Ultima days.... the old days before micro transactions and selling in game items hehehe you had to chat to others in game and trade! thats what an MMO is about
