[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 3393060, member: 16989"] They call it variously "Web Extra" & "Bonus Material". The other WoW "Web Extra" is free. I'd call that a reasonalbe assumption that "Free" is defintly implied. In fact the Thread on the WW Forum (Which I having problems finding now), seems to indicate as much from a guy who worked on the product. To day WW intentionally misled people into thinking they were getting a Free Web Bonus & leading them into paying 4 bucks is applying way too much foresight on their end. After all, if you follow the procedure for downloading the Web Stuff as detailed in the book, you just get hacked off because it isn't there. I'm pretty sure this is a case where someone at WW decided they couldn't give it away for free or thought they could make extra cash off it. I'm guessing the later, as 4 Bucks is a bit steep to just cover bandwidth costs. After the book got sent to the printer, some guy decided they needed to charge for it, but then decided to completly ignore the entier consumer base as to the changed status. No, little link, syaing "Sorry, but we have to charge for this" No "I know we told you 6 times to go here to find the Web Extras, but it's not here since we are chargin for it now". WW changed their minds. And forgot to tell anybody about it. (When I last checked they still hadn't told anyone about it). That's what really bugs me. Basic Business sense tells you to be proactive in these sorts of things. Am I surprised by WW? Not really, this seemed to by the standard they were using when I gamed WW regularly... But that was 7 years ago, I thought they may have changed (and most of my knowledge was second hand anyway). [/QUOTE]
