In another interview with the CEO of the Chicago-based studio Seven Lights, Tim Harris, we find out some more interesting details about the upcoming MMORPG, The Continuum.

A rare hybrid within itself, The Continuum boasts of having been able to successfully combine elements from MMORPGs, RTS games, and TCGs. However, it is also unique when it comes to the payment system that the company is planning to implement. According to Harris, instead of "the gym membership-style subscription which is happening in MMORPGs", Seven Lights has opted to allow the players to instead build their armies by purchasing sets of random characters. For TCG players out there, this aspect can be equated to purchasing booster packs for your deck.

However, unlike TCGs where the cards have set rules and abilities printed on it, the characters that one receives can be developed and customized in various ways. Harris also mentions that because the player acquired his characters by choice, and that he can then spend time building up that character, the game developers are hoping that this induces "a feeling of ownership for the players. Instead of purchasing the game, which is free, you're buying stuff in the game, which is stuff you're really going to feel you have ownership of."
