[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 3114363, member: 18182"] Once again, this appears to be another example of "the sky is falling" on the internets. If you read the entire list of possible content, you'll find a TON of stuff not available free or otherwise right now. Yes, some of what is described does appear very similar to what is now available for free now on wizards.com, but I fail to see why so many are getting up in arms already about this. No where in the survey were we given any language insinuating free content would go away or be reduced on wizards.com. It might happen, it might not. We just don't know yet. And of course, the whole point of this survey is not to announce WotC's new plans, but to gauge interest in a possible new service. If this service comes to fruition, it could be exactly what is listed above, or it could be very different . . . partly based on our responses to the survey. The last part of the survey allowed you to type in freeform any comments you had. While I abolutely LOVE the idea presented in this survey, my answer was along the lines of "This sounds awesome, as long as it does not detract from Dragon Magazine, Dungeon Magazine, and the current practice of free content on wizards.com." If a lot of level-headed folks did the same, we just might get this incredibly new cool service without reducing or eliminating free content and without stepping on Paizo's toes with the magazines. Overall, all we can do is wait and see . . . and rampantly speculate disaster! ;) [/QUOTE]
