It impressed me when Anarchy Online became totally free, and I just really, really hope one day the same will happen to WoW and CoH. I've pre-ordered City Of Villains and recently bought WoW, then 3 weeks former I purchased The Matrix Online (not yet installed), and it has just dawned on me (well, I kind of knew). I wont be able to play 2 of these games. If you add the subscriptions up I would be paying around £30 every month, for 90 years. Is a multiplayer game worth £1000 in its lifetime, really?

Thats why I bought it, thought it would be cool to hyper jump along rooftops ect. But in order to unlock hyper jump you need to level and to level you need to do quests. I wouldnt have minded if the quests were varied but more or less every quest has you running to a building (which all look the same) then go through the entrance, then go in the lift, then go to the correct floor then look about, kill people, run back to the start point and then it ends. It just got so boring. Mind you I did get it brand new for 3 quid from play...

3 quid? Not bad.
I like the look of the disguise stuff.
Although knowing me, they've removed it.

Trust me, If I got the game for free I still wouldn't pay the monthly subscription to play this tossfest.

Its really not worth it, no matter what the price, with the hassle of cancelling a subscription and in general their customer support is just appalling.
I sent them an email saying something like:
"Hi there, could you please confirm that my subscription has been cancelled?"
The reply:
"Hi Mr Grieve, we cannot pass this information on through an email please call our subscription helpline"
The helpline is one of those overly high rates, and I bloody cancelled my subscription through email. They give you reference numbers, but dont even bother looking at them. The common language of some of their staff, in particular an englishman called SANJEEV, is terrible - I got told to "please will you not sending us any emails as we have our support looked at you details"
In short DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP...

Apparently, my cousin doesn't have to pay for Counter Strike: Source because of the type of broadband he uses. Could this statement be true? If so, what other games allow this.
Haha. CS is free no matter what broadband you're on.

Really? They did say that, but I just didn't believe them :P. Thanks then.

I think it's worth it as well. WoW is such a good game it's well worth paying the subscription as this is by far the game I've been playing for the longest period of time.
