[QUOTE="Zogmo, post: 3194773, member: 17682"] [b]I wish it could stay free but...[/b] If wizards.com didn't exist at all and a "New Official Website" was being introduced to support, enhance and expand our beloved D&D, with only the content that's free right now online, and if it was reasonable ($5 a month) for a subscription then I believe most people would be really excited about it. I think a lot of people (myself included) have gotten spoiled by having so much stuff for the taking and it's a real pain to have to start paying for what's been free for so long. They do put up an amazing amount of original content and it doesn't really come free. But I do feel that what they have achieved for free online is a fantastic support vehicle to get new gamers started and keep old gamers in the game (so to speak) so I would hate to see it change from how it is now. From what I read, the free content is going away and will be supplanted by the subscription. I believe they are just testing the waters with this survey they took and it's where they are going to go. If they expect me to subscribe to Dragon and Dungeon and the website it had better be real cheap. I don't want to subscribe to three things from the same company and be buying books they release every month now. [/QUOTE]
