the only problem with blizzards game not being a pay is, well if you think about it, it dosn't require much to run a server for diablo, or starcraft. Unlike everquests, they would only need 1 or 2 servers for a connection. Everquest, has many world servers about 2-3 zones per server, if you think about it that way, an the upkeep they have to deal with, you would understand why you have to pay to play the game. Its not a hard concept to understand. How much would it cost you to make about 25-30 servers for an everquest world? and maintain them? And how much would it cost you to pay for the connection used for clients to connect? Its a buisness, they arn't there to loose money, and they would be if the servers were free. Yeah yeah, I know evil, your rich, you don't have to worry about that stick up your ass. If people thought about these things a little more, there wouldn't be as many people bitching, sure there would still be a few, but hey. thats life.
