Sounds steep. Thank God for cheap American telecom rates. My reason for not going in the online P2P craze is the same reason I don't subscribe to a fitness club.
I've got the equipment to workout or play computer games (even networked) in my house. So why play (or workout) with strangers when I can invite over some friends to play (or workout or both) for free?
Just like public games in D2, I wouldn't really enjoy getting PK'd by some anonymous hacker kid every night and paying for the experience. I only play on D2 realms with friends because they are free, and they mostly prevent cheating. But most importantly as a software engineer, it is simply too easy for me to tweak things on my home environment, and I really would rather enjoy the challenge of playing the game square.
