Dungeon Runners - Preview @ AtomicGamer

AtomicGamer has a preview of NCsoft's casual action/RPG, Dungeon Runners:

Unlike most clickfest Action RPGs, Dungeon Runners is an online-only game.  Even if you're just fighting alone, everything is done over NCSoft's servers.  You see, the reason for this is because this game has a revenue model that resembles some of the Asian MMORPGs from the last couple years.  You don't buy the game and you can download the client and play for free.  You'll notice early on, however, that you can only use the two bottom "tiers" of gear that you loot from monsters or buy from stores.  You'll also have a pretty limited inventory space if you decide to go with the free option.

So how does the subscription work?  "Members" pay $4.99 a month and can equip the better loot in the game.  That doesn't mean they get free stuff or that they can equip things they don't meet basic requirements for, but a majority of the really good stuff - the rare, legendary, and unique items - are all open for them to use.  Paying members also get a much-improved inventory with a lot more room, and they are able to stack their potions together in their inventories to take up less space.
