Oh come on... How many GOOD MMORPGs you know that are free? Stop whining about costs... I don't think I have to tell you how many people actually work on making the game better? There's a dev team, admin team, tech support... How do you think they should pay for that? From other games? Then the other SE games will get more expensive. That what u want?
Admitted, the 1 doller extra per extra service/char is rediculous but you can't blame them for asking the same price as Everquest, Anarchy Online, Earth and Beyond, Star Wars Galaxies, Lineage, Asheron's Call, Asheron's Call 2 and many other MMORPG games.
