Well, they kind of have to.
I will ignore the whole hardcore/casual argument for a moment, but this makes sense given the ability to change other factors (faction, server, accounts, etc.)
Additionally, the next expansion, though shaking up the existing world, offers nothing new with regards to classes. The only outright different player/character feature is a new race. But if you like your class, you have to...kiss the new race goodbye? Create a second, redundant character of that same class?
Lastly, this lets Blizzard charge even more fees which it both loves doing and which people will pay...
Give us package discounts, you jerks!Doubting I would pay for it,
Ray
Everything is awesome!!!
