if anyone truly expects these promises to be forever, then they really should get a grasp on reality...
I saw the news recently about World of Warcraft and free to play. The headline, not written by Blizzard, said "Blizzard rules out free-to-play World of Warcraft". However the actual article does not really say that, it says "It's not something we're currently considering." Woah, almost the same thing Turbine said about LotRO when DDO when free to play... I'm really interested now to see what happens when and if Blizzard does change their mind: will their fans accuse them of breaking promises, even though no such promise appears to exist?
