I was really excited for this until the sub was announced, i've suffered at the hands of this particular monkey before having played WOW for a year about 5 years ago. I now weep every time I look back and think of how much money I spent on it and in the current economic climate I know that I and i'm sure many others wont be able to afford this.

I just hope it either go's F2P soon or offers a free trial so I can at least try it out. For anyone who's interested they discussed it on IGN
