Wow, people seriously bring the cost of servers in to this? Like servers cost millions or something (well, they do, but only if you set them up from nothing and for millions upon millions of subscribers) and even if you figure out you have too many servers after idk 2 months it's not like you can't sell them for a decent amount (or use them for something else). Or not like you can't temporarily rent them.

Sure, there will be less people after free month is over, but how many less, that's the question. With how it's going now, the amount of resubbing people goes down daily. How many..idk. How many would stay if SE did things right from the start? Who knows. Not like we have metrics on hand (SE does). But one thing is sure, more and more ppl are quitting even before free month is over coz of things other than the quality of the game itself. Saying spending now is a waste to accomodate people is a self-fullfiling prophecy.
