I love WoW but... (Score 1)

my big problem with pay-per-month-to-play is the expensive up front cost and a monthly fee. I only got in to WoW because I found it on sale for $30 but I still think that is too much. If your going to charge per month then the client should be free for download. You can't play unless you login any way so what harm is there in giving it away. If some one wants a physical disc it should cost any more than $10 or $20. Doesn't need to be in fancy packaging to just get the client. Still make the special editions because I'm sure there are fan boys out there that want all the stuff and charge them for it. Subsription based I think is an okay answer but not per game. Should be per publisher may be like Sony Station has an offer to play a variety of games for like $25 or some thing like that.
