    I 100% understand the need to charge for these services, but how much profit this IP has generated should have secured all funding for future expansions and more economical pricing.

    Subs should drop to $5mo with expansions starting off at $20ea. Hell make the “Classic” servers F2P.

    I’m gonna make my own mmo, with a TCG and Furries.

      I’m almost disgusted by the people insisting ‘it’s expensive, they need the money.’

      They’ve made ten bucks a month, per player, for twenty straight years. Plus the price of a whole new game for every incremental expansion. How much more money does another expansion need?

        It’s not about reinvesting into the quality of future games, it’s about getting a good financial quarter to please the shareholders. Welcome to infinite growth.
