Interview Cryptic Studios talks Neverwinter Head New why MMO type Suck

On the surface, assuming the role of, say, a space captain, spell-slinging badass, or superhero who sees lasers and breathes blizzards sounds like just about the greatest thing ever.

I think they're missing out on an opportunity, but from Microsoft's point of view, MMOs come with lots of headaches. Like billing. Who'd be billing? Would it be Microsoft or the MMO company?
