I for one am extremely happy about the start of collecting service fees

Why? because it means all the trolls looking for their free game fix won't be able to post nonsense here anymore.

Give SE a break guys, they have a pretty ambitious plan to buff the game up. They've already improved thigns a lot.

Even before they said so, it was pretty obvious to me that at the very least they needed a major server-side revamp in order to give us what we wanted. The lag in response time itself is enough to prevent a lot of content from working in a good way.

I can't say with certainty that I will be active the entire time between now and 2.0. I will say though that I am looking forward to seeing if SE can pull off this reinventing project.
