World Of Warcraft - Stress test beta.

[Jonbo298]

You try to maintain those huge servers with a nearly constant uptime for only a few dollars from your customers. Engineers, maintenance, salary, etc..For my $15 a month to Cryptic for City of Heroes, I get a big update every 2-3 months (every 2 so far), uptime is pretty good (I have yet ot see the servers crash, except for the Test server which has updates before they go live and server can get unstable but thats what testing is for before it hits the live servers). Plus, the devs are awesome in CoH because they actually read the forums and listen to its customers and make changes accordingly.

So my $15 a month is well deserved for a great game. And future games will be $15 a month also because of the massive servers to maintain and whatnot. They aren't cheap Null.
