A monthy fee? Not happening. Not ever again. WoW wasn't (and isn't) worth it, not feee-based MMO around currently is worth it. And the idea that Free to Play isn't viable to create a quality game is pure, unadulterated and unforgiveable BS on Bethesda's part. Do you people really think players are willing to pay $15 a month, $180 a year, to play an MMO anymore. WoW is hemorraging subscribers, SWTOR went F2P, Everquest is dead. Pay to play is an anacronistic model that dies more very day, and to see Bethesda sign on a flawed model in a display of raw stupidity is completely jaw dropping.

Guild Wars 2 called, and it want's me to tell you that your shareholders are a pack of greedy, shortsighted, game-destroying morons. Oh, and to laugh at you for being so stupid that you can't figure out how to make a Free to Play model work.

Quick question to the developers. Did your CEO and shareholders at least have the decency to provice kneepads for you, or do you have to pay for them out of pocket?
