Yep, monthly fees.  Down with the man.

 

 

Can't you just STFU? If it weren't for the fees they'd be losing 60 million a month. Of course they could just take away the online part and they would be gaining money, but what's the fun about that?

 

So an online service that has maintenance, support, and infrastructure cost should charge a monthly fee so as to offset said costs?  And a monthly fee that is far and away, more than enough to cover operational costs?

Blizzard always keep making more and more content for World of Warcraft, dozens of patches and updates every year. But does it even matter? World of Warcraft is easily the best MMORPG ever, and 99% of people that play the game have nothing but praises about it.

I'm more interested in the fact that WoW's success was able to increase Blizzard's simultaneous teams from 2 to 4.
