APB in June/July Subscriptions Details

[Apr 30, 2010, 9:18 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Realtime Worlds and EA announce release dates and related details for APB (All Points Bulletin), saying the open world action game will arrive in North America on June 29, in mainland Europe on July 1, and in the UK on July 2. They previously announced that the game will not "require" a subscription fee, repeating this as recently as last September, but while the new announcement has word that "players can also earn game time by actually playing the game," it seems undeniable that this is a subscription game from the following:

Gamers can purchase a retail version of APB either in-store or via digital download at standard retail price of SRP $49.99. The game includes 50 hours of action gameplay out of the box plus unlimited time in APB's social districts customizing, socializing and trading in the marketplace. Once the 50-hours are up, players have flexibility: top up their game time from as little as SRP $6.99 for an additional 20 hours, or opt to purchase a 30-day unlimited package for only SRP $9.99 with discounts available for 90 and 180 days. In addition to this flexible payment model, players can also earn game time by actually playing the game. APB provides avenues for accomplished gamers or creators to earn rewards for their creativity and subsidize their ongoing costs with their in-game efforts.

I'm confused here. Is this an MMO because they're charging MMO prices? Is the world persistent? Is it massive? What do you exactly get for $10 a month??
