Yes I think that's a great idea and helps to make up for the niche nature (ie small return) of the series. As long as they don't charge as much as POTBS ($14.99 a month) . If they pitched it right say $5-6 dollars a month I think it would be a winner as it's massively different from all of the other MMORPGs out there and at a low price would perhaps tempt gamers who had tired of their "sword and sandals" adventures.
It' probably the riskiest strategy of those listed as it would require heavy investment and a large team and online sales not guaranteed, but with four years of development in the series to base it on they have a good headstart. Plus and it's a big plus
all of the monthly fees would go direct to Ubisoft not to retailers or distributors. They'd probably make as much on two montly subs as they do in selling a full price game through retail. It would also give us constant updates and improvements.
MMORPG hell.... MMONWS (Massively Multiplayer Online Naval Warfare Simulation) that's more like it.
