Sadly, this generation was brought up with the 'no child left behind', 'everyone plays and is a winner'. From kids soccer and other sports to the school system. Soooo its no suprise that they feel that they are 'entitled' just like anyone else to have all the same stuff.

I am curious as well... lots of people no longer play but may choose to come back in the future. They may or may not be keeping up with what is happening. Will be interesting to see what happens to their characters if they choose, say 6 months from now, to come back... Where will they be? Will they be all alone and leave again because of it? Not everyone visits forums and reads log in screens, especially if they are currently abiet temporarily playing something else. There must be thousands of players in this state.

While this is true, some people (me included) already pay for other $15.00 a month MMOs. It can add up.
