I thought you were going to go and find out when you come back you are a mile behind. I never found it hard to go to a website, login and cancel and re-up later if I wanted to. We talk about the dumbing down of games, but then find sub/unsub some type of feat?

Subscription MMOs bank on the fact that people want to get their moneys worth and the more they spend, the more they feel invested in their characters and other aspects of the game. It's a sunken cost fallacy thing.
