why is this surprising, they want you to buy the gold membership, and if you pay attention, you can get it for a year at 29 bucks, i watch newegg and sag some every year at that price. though i guess most people will think im crazy for being a member since launch, but i enjoy it, and actually have three people on my buddy list ive played since launch year
ill go so far to say id be surprised if it was a silver members benefit
