like the game and everything....

paying will make sense to me when the changes are made.

I'm probably repeating something that's been said at least five times per page in the locked thread that this was spawned to reincarnate, but I didn't read that one.

Then don't pay. They're totally expecting to lose a large portion of their player base with the start of subscriptions. Posting about it isn't going to convince them to change their mind.

Nobody is asking anyone to pay for something that they don't think is worth paying for. If you don't want to pay until 2.0, then don't.

All they've said is that they're not going to provide 1.20, 1.21, and 1.22 for free. They haven't threatened to delete anyone's character or any other way of forcing you to pay for a game that you don't feel is worth paying for.

[edit] I make no value judgments about whether or not you choose to pay, and I mean no hostility to your decision. The only thing that I disapprove of is the sense of indignation that people seem to come to the forums with that SE would dare stop giving away the game for free.
