Those damned powergamers would be put in their places! Besides, take Ultima Online, if you play through OSI it costs $10/month, however thanks to diligant coders, UO server emulations have been made free for all to use, see for instance all the servers listed at UO Top 200. After you shell all that money out for the game you think they could at least make it cost a little less, I might not even be so adverse to paying a little more at retail for the game if it was so. Unfortunatly, I have yet to see any real progress on an Everquest emulator so we are still stuck paying for that crap.
