Wow costed > $60 million to create and profited $8 billion (most of it from subscriptions).

Gimme some qualityyyyy.
It also doesn't make sense when people claim RMT is the future of business. To me, it actually seems like free download + monthly subscription is the future. Look at the huge amount of software now, such as Microsoft Office, and most cloud-based programs, that have become free to acquire but now require the user to pay monthly. This will be much more controversial with single-player games where people expect to own their game..just by looking at the botched launches of diablo 3 and the new simcity.

Just made an elf on the Saplhira server. Other servers had a wait time on it. So I suggest we all go Salphira.
