Haha!  Not being into WoW at all, it took me a couple of paragraphs to remember what day it is.

If WoW actually did DROP its subscription fees, I'd probably go buy it!

Amen!

StarCraft 2 being "console only" would be scary....consoles might need to force the gamer to use a keyboard/mouse combo, then....
