1) 32 2) Male 3) 1 4) $15
I'm pretty much done with subscription MMOGs. I currently have two DAoC accounts (one is free however) , but one of the biggest reasons I continue to play and be interested is because I've been involved with the Team Lead program for several years now. The only MMOG I'm currently looking forward to and even considering playing is Guild Wars 2 (no monthly fee).

1) Age: 39 2) Sex (not a yes/no quesion): Haha. Male. 3) How many MMO's are you actively subscribed to?: One. 4) What is your 'price point' for MMO's? How much is TOO much for a monthly Sub? Or what is the maximum dollar amount you'd pay for a subscription based monthly MMO?: Seriously? Whenever a dev asks that question, I get the feeling that I'm being asked to give money away for nothing. So I grudge my 15 bucks, but I feel most MMOGs are barely worth 10.
P.S. I'm currently subscribed to one MMOG, but I have had two active accounts in different games. It doesn't happen very often.

Having kids late in life ups the chances of bad things by too much, too. Damn people. Having kids early in life makes you an unfun schlub to all your friends who are too smart to have kids and are more interested in doing things to further themselves as people (travel, hobbies, etc). Also it contributes to the possibility of a Baby Boomers Part Deux. Which no one wants. Just saying. Most of the people I know who had kids early is because they forgot to put a rubber on it, or thought that kids were the way to get a man to marry you. I know a lot of divorced, bitter 30somethings now.

1) 27 2) M 3) 0 4) $50/box. $15/sub - anyone who thinks they can go higher is playing a dangerous game.

As has been said, no 0 option makes this a real fail.
1) 27 2) M 3) 0 4) I'd pay the normal price for the box and a free month. Anything after that... $15 tops if it was great fun and I'd be done with it in another month. Anything that I expected to play more casually over a longer period of time I'd expect to be free or less than $10. And I'd never pay more than one $15 sub in a month.

1 - 39 2 - M 3 - 2 MMOs right now, but one is lifetime and one is Eve... 4 - 15 or so dollars is trivial, so I'll happily try stuff out at that price point. But Eve will sometimes see me spend as much as 75 dollars in a month, depending on what I am doing and how many alts it would benefit from. Other games might sit somewhere between the two price points, if they provided something fairly awesome.

One thing I'll add is I have 2 accounts in Eve, but one I pay for with a mixture of passive & active game income (windfalls) if I don't make enough when not playing basically I can leave this account unsubbed and let the passive income tick over. This is a nice (niche even) reward for longterm players, actually I set the account up through the power of II offer CCP give out once in a while.

1 - 39 (and 14 and 9) 2 - M (all of us) 3 - 4 currently, but 2 will lapse end of 30 days. 4 - 15 per person per month works for me. We basically will allow the kids to each have one sub to something, and than I have one myself. Of those 4 games, 2 are played by my kids, not me. My older son is heavy into WoW and upper level raiding, yet he bought Aion to try out based on feedback from some friends at school. He liked it ok, but not enough to switch over and made that decision inside of two weeks. (and i have to say i concur; i played it up to level 10 just to try it and it just doesnt grab me as being significantly different enough from WoW to make many people want to change. Early game needs to be more differentiated and compelling to accomplish that. Sure is purty though.) I have subbed to DDO for a while now and am sticking with the monthly sub even though they have F2P now. Tried fallen age and like it, but not enough to leave my other online friends. I suspect ill be back into it sooner or later - different enough from other games out there to make it worth doing, but i just dont have the time for 2. My 9 year old has played many but generally only sticks with a given title for about 2 months tops. Currently he is not subbed to anything. We have tied close to all of them.
Any game my kids show interest in (or me for that matter) I like to try and beta test or do a free trial. It generally doesnt take long (2 weeks or less) to decide if it's something we want to get i.e. the Champions beta - fun for about 2 weeks tops.

1) 25 2) M 3) 1 4) $15/month with no MTX. If you're putting in MTX, it better have a very low sub fee (~$5/month), although I dislike MTX as a business model.
I'm almost always subscribed to one "serious" MMO; I switch back and forth between WoW and EQ2 depending on content patch/expansion cycles. I also occasionally try out new ones, but nothing has held my attention for more then 2-3 months in a while (Ex: WAR, occasional resubs to CoH, etc).

1) 41 2) M 3) 3 (Eve, Aion and WoW) 4) 15USD feels about right. Keep in mind I run 3 Eve accounts and am unsubbing from WoW as I'm over it - haven't played in a month. Guild Wars has the right sub price though :D

1) 28 2) M 3) 2 (WoW and CoH, though I don't really play CoH nowadays) 4) $15/mo or guildwars-style box cost + microtrans and $0/mo. I really can't see myself paying $20/mo or more (including microtrans costs) unless the game was robot jesus.
(as an aside, a big eff you to all companies who think $15 = E15 .. though I don't think I've seen any of those recently)
