We'll see where it will evolve. Investors and developers are talking about this, as we've heard in GDC.

Monthly fee is only justified when you are able to play often enough or the game will offer you content when you're offline. Otherwise there is a need for online time based pricing alternative. For example EVE Online character training happens in real-time, instead of time spent online. Thus, it's again easier to concentrate on interesting content once you're playing and not grind on your skill development. Then again WoW badly fails in this respect. It only offers casual gaming content but no reasonable pricing model for it. Used to like it, but now my money goes elsewhere.
