That's a bit of a broad question mate, could you clarify a bit more? there's a fair amount to know about shopping online, could you be a bit more specific?

We wont know until release, but the common options are:

* DIRECT DEBIT / PAYPAL monthly: The most common way, you submit a card (debit or credit) to the games' website and it takes an amount each month.

* GAMECARD: This is like buying "top-up" coupons for mobile phones / cellphones. You buy a card (usually in a shop or online) and it gives you a code. You put that code into the website and you get to play for 1 month (sometimes 4 or 6 as well, depending on the gamecard you buy)

* LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION: Not all games do this, but some offer a one-off, larger payment which is a good deal if you can afford it; you pay a larger amount, just once, and you can play the game forever. This usually works out well on price overall, but you need to spent out a large amount in one chunk. Note that you still need to buy expansions to the game seperately.


Does that help any?

Don't think that's usual for larger MMO's (like WoW, LOTRO, etc), mostly level cap increases with expansions etc you know... It's mostly smaller, free-to-play-if-you-want mmo's that makes you pay for increased level cap, items etc.
