Sure but first you have to hand over the starting price, 
how do you know it doesnt suck ? Magazins ?? Dont be ridiculous.

I once saw a friend playing a game.. camelot something.. he waited for
a mana refill or similar for 15 minutes doing nothing. What kind of
game is this ?  As you cant TEST games like this b4, a monthly fee
would be the only way to go.

And YESS, i will never forget Bethesda Software with Daggerfall.
Excellent previews, a rpg game released while anything past
hour 4 wasnt programmed yet. Amazing.

Another isssue is graphics. Ever saw an mmorg with gfx, that doesnt
complety suck ?

I played Diablo 2 for a very long time, so it will be very expensive
even without a package price.. if its good.
