Just a reminder

On top of that, I just don't care to have another bill added each month.  *shrugs*

I hear that. I prefer the pay once play forever model as well. But, then again, compared to the price of tickets to a Laker's game... My problem is that I'm not sure I will like WoW enough to want to subscribe for long, but I buy many games and get a few hundred hours of play out of them. I'm thinking just like that health club membership, I will find after a few months of exuberance that I'm not that keen to go hang out in an overcrowded, smelly, locker room anymore. Especially, if all my basketball playing buddies have quit as well. What is troubling about some of the new game delivery models is that ability to pull it off the shelf in 12-48 months and play a little.

Diablo and Diablo II for me as well had a very low cost per hour, good for us, and bad for Blizzard and the other games we did not play (and not to mention the missed social interactions with humans in the real world. :) ).

So, I bought it and I will give it a try for the free 30 days, and if I like it I might buy on for a few more months. I do not see myself as an Evercrack junkie however, and I doubt I will be playing WoW much a year from now.
