Realtime World’s forthcoming MMO All Points Bulletin (APB) is certainly thinking differently when it comes to paying to play the game. Instead of a set monthly subscription charge we’ve already heard how the system will revolve around paying for game time. So when you buy a copy at launch it will come with 50 hours of game time that can be used whenever you like. Game time can then be topped up for $6.99 per 20 hours, or there’s a 30 day unlimited package for $9.99 per month.

It seems that is not the end of the pricing options, though. Those players taking advantage of voice chat will hear adverts taking the form of a short audio clips once every 3 hours. This can be disabled for 30, 90, or 180 days for a price and is being referred to as VOIP Premium accessible on your game account page.

The pricing for this additional ad removal service has yet to be confirmed, but it means players may end up paying more than they originally expected, or choosing to listen to an add every so often.

APB is available from today in the US, and all of Europe by the end of the week.
