[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 5365974, member: 9053"] Well it looks like this is the end of the road for my DDI account. It's still not coming due for a few months now, but I don't expect to renew it at this point. I don't have free and open access to the web during the day: my employer doesn't mind if I use the CB over lunch or on a break, but no WotC website (or EnWorld for that matter) during the day. That and the fact that my FLGS where I play at doesn't have wifi. I love the character builder, it's a killer app for 4E that puts it (in my opinion) far ahead of anyone else. The move to get people who aren't subscribing now back into the fold will largely fail, because people who share their character builder accounts and downloads will just do the same thing with this. I suppose it will get the HUGE Mac market who doesn't already run Windows to do something, so I hope it's worth it. Time to build my own character app, methinks...or find another alternative. I just have to say, and I don't say this lightly, that this is the absolute worst decision coming from WotC in years: take the [B]one [/B]app that people, by and large, really liked (it had some problems, I'll grant you) and dump it with no real warning. Sigh. Hey but if you're a Mac user, bravo for you! --Steve [/QUOTE]
