What did you buy?

...
I just hope the $4.95 for 'web only' option persists once the rest of the digital suite is ready. I'm not that excited for the digital tools - I just want the e-magazines.

My fear is that the cost will go up to $14.99 as soon as the table is out.

I've dumped Dungeon and Dragon in the past, I can do it again (I also have 2 lvl 70's and gave up WoW in April 2007 lol), but for now I've signed up for a year, hell of a lot cheaper than WoW. BUT let's ask the question again in Oct 2009 to see who is satisfied and who isn't.

I'm also going to buy every book until October. At that point if 4E has become a bore then it's over and I'll go over to Paizo. So far my group and I are having fun.

You could probably ask again in November, and January when the lesser length subscriptions expire and see how many people did not renew and how many people either renewed the lower length subscriptions or even upgraded to longer length subscriptions.

Glad your cancel was swift and without error Kirnon. Seems others have been getting canned responses from Digital River (they handle the CS for DDI accounts/billing not the normal WotC CS company) that indicate odd things should be done to cancel, and some even have been told the subscriptions were not ready to order yet so cannot cancel them.....

Anyhow, thanks for the info on your experience with the cancel events and times.

I won't waste my money. I don't play 4e but even if I did, this is 4 months late and no where close to what was promised

I think it's better than what was promised. If I wanted to play Neverwinter Nights, well, I've got that already. I have no interest in running Microsoft Windows just to get some heavy-on-the-eye-candy game tools, and in fact have little interest in playing D&D via computer even if it were cross-platform. I like playing a pencil & paper game as a break from my computer-centric life.

So I'm really glad to be able to pay for a subscription to Dragon online, plus whatever other random goodies they want to thrown in (Dungeon, and the flash-based gee-gaws, and the lame ineffectual replacement for the online SRD).

If the price is later raised with the justification that the Windows apps are now done, I'll be annoyed.

I'll subscribe to something D&D-related the day Judge's Guild begins republishing Pegasus magazines.

In other words, no thanks, WoTC.

I went yearly. I used the Compendium last weekend to prep my game, and the Dragon stuff is great (haven't really had a chance to look much at Dungeon yet). Looking forward to seeing what the next year brings, but so far, it's worth the cost.

1-Year subscription! The money is negligible compared to the money I now spend on my mobile phone...
And in fact I am far more certain I gonna find the DDI useful then my new phone and the contract. But both are more luxury items...

Nope. I'm a non-subscriber by nature.

I hope that in time they will choose to sell individual back issues of dragon/dungeon in PDF form. Until then, I'm unlikely to see them again

Cheers
