There is one huge flaw in your analysis. I am not agreeing or disagreeing, merely pointing out the flaw. How does this relate to the West? Pay per hour has already been established in China and I THINK that's how it is in Korea as well as Japan. If indeed Korea is using the pay by hour payment method, then your analysis could not be more wrong. Being the #1 MMORPG in Korea proves that. Your analysis is a general analysis on the pay by hour payment method, which does nothing to address your title; why pay per hour sub plans would be bad for the West.

If you want your analysis to be valid, you need to first make a clear distinction between the East and West. If pay by hour works in the East, then you need to prove that there is a fundamental difference between the two sides in order to prove it won't work in the West. Or, you could just prove that pay per hour payment method is flawed in general, which if Korea Aion is indeed using, would be false.
