Coming from someone who has paid to play games online for close to 10 years now, the first being Ultima Online as well as WoW, 5 bucks a month is nothing compared to paying 12.99 for UO (When I first started playing UO it was only 10)and close to 15 for WoW(I think that started at 12 for a few months). I have never had a problem. I even paid for Live and WoW at the same time for all of my WoW tenure.
