[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3725289, member: 4134"] Or less. They said they were looking into payment models, including paying for, say, a whole year, and getting a discount. I doubt it. How are they going to do that? Sell half books? They know they could totally not get away with that even if they wanted. Except all the digital issues of the magazines, which you will very likely be able to print out and to save on your HD. Beyond that, sure, the other things won't stick around - the ability to store characters online and use the virtual gaming table and the gaming lists. But then again, not every form of entertainment will give you something to show for it except memories. This one gives you memories and computer file. I think it's more likely that once you "buy" an article (as part of your monthly subscription), that article is yours. Sure, you'll probably lose access to the special online tools, but you won't lose the new classes and spells and all that. Can you give me that in writing? So I can sue you should they release new player's handbooks that supplement, and not replace, the first one :p Seriously: Have you been around when they released the 3.5 core rules? That was several years after 3.0, and lots of people were quite piddled. I doubt that they could pull off one revision per year without losing far money (because peopel would quit) than they'd gain by people buying all those books. [/QUOTE]
