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. tom
