Cita:silliconera[/url]"]The Nihon Securities Journal (via Anime News Network) reports that Dragon Quest X has about 300,000 subscribers thus far. Each subscriber pays 1,000 yen (about $13) a month, so thatÔÇÖs 300 million yen (about $3.8 million) in monthly subscription revenues if Square can keep that number stable.
In comparison, Final Fantasy XI, another Square Enix MMO, peaked at about 600,000 subscribers. It remains to be seen whether or not Square Enix can continue to grow the number of paying Dragon Quest X subscribers over the next few years to such a figure.
Dragon Quest X employs an interesting model that allows for limited free play, even if you donÔÇÖt pay a subscription fee. ÔÇ£KidsÔÇÖ Time,ÔÇØ which runs from 4pm to 6pm on weekdays, and 1pm to 3pm on weekends, allows two hours of free play each day for children.
Nihon Securities Journal ha dicho que DQX tiene alrededor de 300.000 suscriptores que pagan 1.000 yenes (10 euros) cada mes. Así que S-E gana 3 millones de eruos cada mes mientras mantenga los suscriptores.
Para comparar, Final Fantasy XI llegó a tener 600.000 suscriptores (supongo que a nivel global). DQX tiene un modo que permite jugar gratis para los niños de 16 a 18 horas los días de semana y de 13 a 15 horas los fines de semana.
