Well, for one, you BOUGHT the game KNOWING that it was mutliplayer, and that there was a monthly fee, so who's fault is it that you are trapped in the web of paying a monthly fee?
I dont understand how people can think that a company can survive on good intentions. Companies require $ to stay in business. If they didnt charge $, there would be no servers, there would be no internet connection, there would be no developers, and there would be no EVERQUEST.
If you dont like paying money to EQ, then you shouldnt have bought it in the first place, its a friggin subscription service!!!!
Running companies is a VERY expensive process.. Just the office supplies in a year for most decent size companies is higher than most entry level developer positions pay.
Thats like buying a car, then getting pissed off cause you have to pay to put gas in the thing afterwards.. I mean, why isnt gas included in cars?? Reminds me of an old joke about tech support for car companies.
I cant see how they are 'money grubbing', in the 3 or 4 years of operation, too my knowldge, they have not raised the subsciption price a single time.
