After having just finished playing wc3 im slighlty dissappointed that in order to play wow you need to pay monthly....

Maybe im jumping the gun here but what exactly are the advantages of that compared to say buying a game...playing through the single player campaigns,going online and playing with others and being able to use a world editor(like i am and having fun with it!!) like wc3?

I feel that if all games choose this route then it would be expensive to play (becuase no doubt you would want to play other games as well).
Surely ths would be bad for the gamer in general?
Its for these reasons that i have shied away from other such pay/monthly games.

I would say that it looks nice though but seems to be not a strat game but an rgp.....
