It's a smart idea; 10 years * 3 story arcs, 30 world events. They only need to invest for the first year or two. They can create the rest, like WoW has been doing. As for subscription-based, we'll see micro transactions, or expansion packs. Social features could be fun. I'm sure we'll see a cow-clicker mechanic. I'd also bet that they'll have random world events, and user-triggered world events. Outside of the 10 year arc. Not so all-in, but it's interesting to see a gaming company switching to long term bets. To me this means once the battleship is up and running, bungie/activision will have the freedom to produce more games. Also I'm sure they've had some nice input from Blizzard, statistics, code and all.
