Well, first of all, we are paying for maintaince. The hardware ain't free, the multiple ISP's ain't free, the administration, and last developing the game is expencive. I'd imagin that about 10% or less of what you pay actually goes to CS.

What reason should we have to pay?

There is no reason they should give stuff away for free. If you don't wanna pay, then stick to the old content.

Also consider POP....with all other expansions new spells could be bought and sold/given to those that did not get the expansion but in POP bought spells are No drop.

Maybe but I have to disagree for some business reasoning. If you look at any company that has released new versions, they always tailor the SWITCH from one to antother. For instance, D&D 2nd edition had a good following and most said they would stick with it. WOTC marketed the 3rd edition in such a way that most have now switched to that version. I would think that at first EQ2 will be promoted with the hint of EQ being supported but I think once the bugs are worked out that it will be hard pushed. Another analogy is Luclin. When it first came out, most did not ever think of getting it. I for one had it, and uninstalled it. But then BAM I give you the Bazaar. Now ask yourself who does not have it. I see more people without Kunark and Velius than people who don't have Luclin now. BUT time will tell, I am sure EQ2 will get a great following. After all its business and marketing.
