Here’s the essence of the announcement:

Sony Online Entertainment Inc. (SOE), a worldwide leader in massively multiplayer online gaming, introduced plans for SOE All Access, an all-in-one subscription service that will allow gamers access to all of SOE’s premium entertainment content - from EverQuest to PlanetSide to EverQuest II - for one low price of $21.99 a month. The SOE All Access subscription offer will begin on May 19, 2003, just in time for the launch of PlanetSide, SOE’s latest premium online game.

Currently, SOE charges separate amounts for each of its titles. EverQuest carries a $12.95 monthly subscription cost, while the upcoming PlanetSide will cost $12.99 a month.

Gee. $13 a month. I think not. Halo anyone? Tribes 3? I haven’t even tried Planetside today. I have more or less given up hope of ever being able to play it.
