Buying it is very much worth every cent. I bought it and finished the main story mode in less than a month, and was able to experience much of what the game had to offer within those 30 days of free trial. So yes buy it! If you don't want to pay every month then don't, you don't need to if you just want to play the main campaign. If that's the only thing you're after. That's what I did. I bought the game just to play it like an ordinary RPG game with online functionality and stopped when I finished the main campaign. lol.

Well, I dunno about that... the quests in an MMO tend to be very linear (go kill X aount of Y and come back, etc etc) and you in an MMO you'll do that alot and not at all in a non-MMO RPG. Just playing an MMO as a non-MMO RPG would be quite mundane. In MMO's from my experience, questing and even going through the story is just an end to a means, which is to get to the max level, where the game begins if you play with others atleast.
