It was already known that players would have to purchase the ability to use certain game features. However, no details were provided on exactly how those transactions would work. We speculated that Sega might fall back on a PSU-style subscription model for PSO2:
Another possibility is that the items are offered as timed DLC, meaning you'll have to periodically buy them again to continue enjoying the "premium" features of the game. This is pretty much the "free course" and "premium course" model used by PSU at the moment. Don't be surprised if Sega chooses this model for the final product.
If the report is correct, then it looks as if this is exactly what Sega will do. According to that report, players will be charged for room privileges and other "system" features on a 30-day recurring basis. No speculation on fee schedule or other pricing was announced.
In other PSO2 news, Sega announced today that the closed beta test will begin next Thursday, April 19. E-mails are being sent out to players that have been selected for participation in the beta. The test will run for approximately nine days, ending on Saturday, April 28.
