I agree. Great concept but not willing to pay
for it. On the other hand, depending on the fee for the service it
could be just as easily thought of like this:
Let's hypothetically say EQ comes with the EQIM
already on the CD. It's an added option to install. Let's say you
decide to install it. Then you're agreeing that rather than $12.95/mo for
just EverQuest, you pay $13.95 (or whatever) for EverQuest AND EQIM. If
you do not decide to install it then you're just paying the $12.95 as
usual. And since foresight tells me this is probably what they will end up
doing in the long run, I don't see the difference then having to pay for it now
or just having the cost included when you subscribe to EQ let's say 6 months
down the road. If you're gonna use, they're gonna get your money one way
or another... besides... bandwidth costs... and 400,000+ people playing the game
simultaneously AND now EQIM... that's gonna be a lot of traffic.
Better start opening your wallets....

Yeah, too bad they're gonna charge to use this. It's a
great idea, just not
a good enough one for me to justify forking over more
money for a game when
money's tight
already.
