I am wondering something a little different than some people are. I think with the smashing success of 1.18 and what I hope will be an even bigger update to content in 1.19 and future patches, I am wondering...when can I start paying?

I phrased that very deliberately. I dont want to come out whining and asking "When will I HAVE to pay?" I know that keeping these servers running and providing constant new content at the pace that you are costs a lot of money. And I am not sure for how long SE is willing to eat the loss. With that said, I dont want to see this game go away just due to profitability issues...I am starting to like it too much ^_^.

So when can I start paying?
