据游戏邦了解，该平台的热门游戏《Kaitou Royale》和Mobage用户虚拟形象这两个项目首先采用了这套计费解决方案。《Kaitou Royale》中的虚拟道具提供了四种消费选项（游戏邦注：最低支付选项是每月6美元），而且其中还有些道具根本不支持其他付费方式；与用户虚拟形象有关的消费选项共有6种，最低支付金额是2.4美元。

DeNA添加这种包月计费解决方案的目的在于简化用户的消费流程，只有NTT Docomo和KDDI这两家电信公司的用户才能使用这项服务，软银用户和其他访问Mobage的智能手机用户并不在此列。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Social Gaming Platform Mobage-town Gets Monthly Price Plan For Virtual Items

Earlier this week, Japanese mobile social gaming juggernaut DeNA added a new pricing plan to its super-popular Mobage-town platform (which currently boasts 22 million users): users can now pay for virtual items through a monthly pricing plan.

This first so-called Premium Course on Mobage consists of two offerings, one for the hit game “Kaitou Royale”, and another one for avatars (by which each Mobage member must be represented).

Users subscribing for the first course can choose between four options (monthly cost: US$6 and up) to get items for use in Kaitou Royale, and what’s interesting is that some items in the game can’t be obtained in any other way. Monthly prices for the avatar-related plan, dubbed Aisatsu Premium Course, start at $2.40 (six options).

The obvious motivation for DeNA for adding subscription plans to per-item purchases (which are still possible for both Kaitou Royale and avatars) is to make spending money on Mobage easier for its members. The Premium Course is only accessible to NTT Docomo and KDDI au customers though: SoftBank subscribers and those visiting Mobage through their smartphones are left out at this point.（source:asiajin）
