Running servers = $$.
Complaining about fee's for playing MMOG's in which the game developer/publisher hosts the servers is absolutely redicilious. It costs a large amount of money for all the bandwidth, hosting, and server equipment required for such MMOG's as World of Warcraft or Lineage.
Another reason I appreciate the 'Pay to Play' policy is that, it is really a smacktard filter. If people are playing just to jerk around online, they are really losing money. If you've played any 'pay to play' games, you know there is alot less smacktards online.
