Same reason I don't play Guildwars..
If they dont host the game on their servers... I don't see any reason why I would pay them...

To me this feels like a way to get us to pay MMO fees for an instanced Diablo-like game.
I would GLADLY pay $35 dollars for an expansion pack .. but I won't pay $120-$180(Assuming it's between $10 and $15 a month) a year for that amount of content.
:(

There are both ups and downs to this. The subscription fee keeps a lot of the kiddies away. And it gives a lot of incentive for the devs to continually update the game with new content.
On the downside, though, it makes the game less casual friendly-- a move away from the Guild Wars / Diablo mold. Plus, it means the game could turn into a giant hamsterwheel grind, just to keep people paying.
Please don't screw this up, Bill!
