(They would be thrilled if you could -- I'd expect they'd give you a sweet finder's fee and probably a nice statue of you in the game.)And remember: 24/7 bandwidth with LOTS of redundancy in the system for hundreds of thousands of connections a month. We're talking a hell of a lot of money they'd need to raise from ads here.I think most people who play MMORPGs didn't initially get why there's a monthly fee but figured it out once they actually played. Free demos give you the best of both worlds. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
