[QUOTE="Lostdwarf, post: 5437624, member: 85751"] Two main reasons: The economy sucks, I work in sales, and I am the only income in my household. We had to cut back across the board. No dnd insider, no mmorpg subscriptions, no netflix, etc. You can play the game just fine (which I do) without subscribing to anything. How oldschool of me. Number two: I tried the new character builder, and I am convineced it is a steaming pile of gorilla crap. The single biggest attraction of the DDI subscription for me was all the updated information in the CB. The new one is buggy, slow, needs to touch the server on every page change, crashed often, and in general is just a hunk of total junk. So I took my final updates of the old tools and called it a day. It doesn't have the Essentials material in it, but essentials is supposed to be simple. If you want to play an essentials character sit down with the book and a piece of paper and make one, for goodness sake. With more money floating around the house, I might subscribe again for the articles, but right now austerity measures prohibit anything but (dare I say it) essential spending. [/QUOTE]
