NCsoft announces new MMO "starter packs"

NCsoft has announced the release of "starter packs" - a new range of retail products for its major MMO franchise titles, including City of Heroes, City of Villains, Guild Wars and Lineage II.

These "starter packs" will be sold at retailers for GBP 1.99 and will provide a game and a two week subscription intended as an introduction to MMORPGs. Consumers who decide they want the full game can then return to the retailer and purchase the whole product.
