It's true, on the WoW FAQ, you gotta pay to go online!!!

Will there be monthly fee to play the game?
Yes; however, we are still investigating our business model and have not yet determined what the fee will be.

Why isn't World of Warcraft free?
World of Warcraft will require a fee to play. This fee will be used to support the costs associated with the high-quality levels of service, support, and ongoing content creation that we are planning for World of Warcraft.

It's actually normal that you have to pay. You had to pay a monthly fee to play Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot etc.

Pretty much, blizzard would go bankrupt if u didnt have to pay, since WOW will be such a huge game and the server will require alot.

i beleive the cost would probably be in the range of $10~15 monthly.
Just like the other mmorpg *Asheron's Call* *Ultima online*

k inorder for them to make money off it jsut selling the game it would prob cost your about 300 to buy and even then what that would last a year ? maybe 2. then they whouldnt have the money to keep the game going.. i havent played any of these mmorpgs but it does require alot of time/money for them to keep it going. they will have huge amounts of people working 24/7 to keep it up. paying 10 a month or something doesnt seem that bad at all
dont got the cash? get a JOB

15 bucks american is about 20-25 Canadian, and the game is probably going to be 60-70 dollars too! Thats a lot of money to pay with about 60 upfront and 20 bucks each month. It might be worth it if they either made the game like 10 dollars and then a monthly fee, or if they included 6 months free with the game right out of the store.
