After one year after it's initial release, I played it for one month (free subscription), just to see what the hype was about...

Speding 50 bucks for video game is expensive enough for me, paying a monthly subscription just so I can keep playing a game I OWN is stupid. It's like paying BMW to use my car after I bought it (maintenance and fuel notwithstanding).

That's why I still don't understand the enduring Everquest crowd. These folks have paid 12.99/month for the last 9 years and apparently paying for "Expansion Packs". I had co-workers like these.
