[QUOTE="Mephistopheles, post: 4076049, member: 4460"] The price is not unreasonable when based upon some previous expectations such as the amount and quality of content in Dragon and Dungeon. One thing to keep in mind is that recent memory of those two magazines is attributable to Paizo and not WotC. One consideration I have when considering this is that the quantity and quality of the online delivery will be comparable to what I had become used to in Dragon and Dungeon in recent years (which was, in my opinion, pretty high on both counts). I like to think WotC can certainly deliver on the quality but the quantity is certainly in doubt at this point, at least judging by the preview. The other issue for me and probably lot of others is availability of the online services. Considering that this is an international service the facilities potentially need to be available 24/7 with no outages. If a group in a particular country can only fit in an online session on Tuesday nights in their local time but that happens to be some ungodly hour in the US that WotC has selected for maintenance downtime they could be out of luck. Assuming I do end up playing 4E I would like to have access to what they're saying will be available and I think the price is not unreasonable for what is advertised. I definitely will not sign up until they've had some time to demonstrate the issues I've listed above aren't problems for me. Mind you, I'm not sure how I can judge the content unless I do subscribe, it's not like I can flip through the magazine to see what the standard is before I buy it. Time will tell on this one I think. [/QUOTE]
