haha yeah i bet you those servers cant cost more than a mil a year total...either way, there are at least 50 million dollars sitting around every month (depending on the actual cost of subscription)

i bet the devs are livin t up like jay-z now...itd be funny for em to make a music video
135 servers takes quite a bit of money to keep up...

i think they are worth it. there is alot of content in these games. you take a genre that people really love (star wars, warcraft) and you make a game that doesnt really have an ending and has an almost limitless amount of content. its like playing your favourite game knowing that it expands all the time.

I play it with a bunch of people from school, being able to play with actual people you know makes the game a lot more fun.

School helps balance out my play time though, I barley play during the week but when I have free time I'll play it. I've never had a problem with not being able to leave, if I don't feel like playing I hit Esc and quit the game.
