What > happends 2-3 years down the road when nobody really buys it, server costs > are through the roof? It becomes a drain, you wont see a free MMORPG that > has any scrap of quality anytime soon. > not every product they make will be a succes, I think blizz. realizes that... but ppl will, like steven said, find ways around the payment. cause ppl dont expect to pay for something they allready bought unless there is no other way.(except julie D'aubigny, if it meets up with her expectations) $10 a Month is what I call a lot, if you allready payed $40 to $60 for the game. so either make the game-cd free(to get a lot of paying ppl playing the game) or the fee so low that ppl wont think about pirating the site. neither will ever happen, cause they will never even think about any thing else than the cash they think they are going to make. bussines is bussines. hayman -- "you never know how a cow catches a rabbit..."
