Anyone else think that the "Playtime expires..." message, and this window some of us have gotten:

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff209/MKD1989/PlaytimeAdded.jpg

...clearly seem to indicate that Blizzard plans on charging a monthly fee for Battle.net? What else could "Playtime expires..." and "Playtime has been added" mean?

Russia, Brazil and some other countries have to pay to play I believe. It is for some reason showing up on our clients.

Well, in some countries like Russia you will get 2 options:
1) you buy the full version and playing will be for free
2) you buy the cheaper version and you can play for a few months. When those months are over you have to pay to play.

Actually, once that time is up, you have to pay a small 1 time fee to unlock the full game. It's for people in poorer situations, that want to try the game, but might not want to buy it. I dunno, it seems kinda dumb to me lol.

The most likely reason you are seeing that is to let you know when your beta account expires. They have already stated that if you pay full retail value for the game, battle.net will be free.

Some south american countries are getting a version of the game that is cheaper but is a pay to play kind of thing so I'm assuming that is what that is for.

Also looks like something is in the works to fix all the crazy freeze issues going on.

I think the "pay to play" option has more to do with the prevalence of software piracy in certain markets.
