Well said.
I personally will never likely pay to play a game. However, I think some of them are justified to require monthly payments.
Think about it like movies. You can buy DVDs, omer watch old stuff on TV cheap or free. Or, you could go pay 7-10 buck every few nights to go watch a brand new movie.
Im the kind of person that can play shooter games for months at a time, and can watch movies like the Matrix, LOTR, or just about any decent Scifi / Fantasy movie everytime they are on TV. For me, its all about what I find in it. Playing UO is more about your interests, rather than the technology. It's kinda hard to explain. I suppose its the same reason people still build and race cars with 30 and 40 year old technology.
Basically, there is just that type of mind that can find pleasure in simpler things, that dont need the latest and greatest to be satisfied.
