It's been a general consensus among several in the industry for a while now
that UO undercharged probably by $10; it would have made more money with
slightly fewer subscribers and with higher fees. But it's going to take a
game offering compellingly better experiences to justify jacking the price
up in the mind of consumers at this point.
