[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3468948, member: 22882"] If Wizards can't match the 50,000 subscribers Paizo had on Dungeon, I will be flatly amazed (assuming DragOnline isn't horrendously buggy). The scale of Wizards' operations is massively greater than Paizo's, especially if DragOnline ends up covering all of Wizards' d20-based RPGs and minis games. Besides which, how in the world do you buy $6000 of D&D material?! :confused: Unless you're buying complete sets of D&D minis direct from the source - in which case you'd best up that 2m figure (and, judging from the way Paizo treated the miniatures game, drop the % outraged). Even then I'm not sure how you'd manage it! If you assume 4 books at $30 apiece every month (which seems like too many), that's $1,400, tops - less if you bought any on Amazon or on sale at the FLGS or with a local retailer discount card or in any other way below market price. The only complete set of D&D minis I see on Ebay right now is going for $250; they release, what, four of those a year? So maybe you could get a little over $2000 (although the $1000 spent on minis wouldn't go directly to Wizards). If you drop your figure to a more reasonable(?) $2000, Wizards would only have to have 16,000 subscribers at the more reasonable, and IMO more likely, $5/month rate to make up for 'losing' your theoretical 500 big-spending rebels. 8,000 at $10/month.
