Now i have lvl 9 night elf hunter

Is that a night elf that hunts or something that hunts night elves?

Good job! Fun time eh?

I think it's a bit cheeky charging for both the software and the subscription. I think they should either just sell the software (with no subscription) or offer the client up for free download and charge as normal.

The publishers need money too, that's from people buying the game, otherwise the publishers wouldn't even publish the game for Blizzard, Bliz gets the money you send via the internet.

Lots of MMOGs distribute their clients for free over the interent, A Tale in the Desert does and Eve Online has recently switched to free clioent downloads.

This was a full budget game, the publishers paid to help them make the game, there's a massive difference between the B-level games and the A-level games, those that made Tale in the Desert (Great game by the way) Made it on their own money/ideas/etc. Notice that the game was never published in stores, frankly if Blizzard had it has a free download they wouldn't have made as much money, then in turn the amount of money they'd lose with collapse some of the servers.

It's a real delicate balance.

Yes, but more people are liekly to play it if they don't have to buy it first, coupled with a week's/month's free trial they could attract even more people and give they game more cash inthe long term.
Anyway, it's just the idea of paying for things twice that irritates me.
