Yeah, I'm starting to not envy those who ended up not paying. If I had known I was paying at least 1 month worth of sub to play the same game that was free last month, I would've just waited for 1.21 like many of my friends are doing.
That being said I'll let the dust settle down and wait at least for Friday to go by in both parts of the world. But honestly if next week goes buy just as quietly (two paragraphs of lore aren't exactly my thing) I won't be too happy.
