Being a fanboy is ohsoawesome! On a serious note, this means that they have absolutely no intention to let us create a second character for free and are thus ruining a lot of people's experience with playing more than one race. | ||

Something highly dangerous about a business model without subscriptions or micro-transactions or so is that all the revenue by Blizzard comes from selling games, so they're strictly speaking discouraged from providing support and content for games already done developing, especially since running the servers already costs a lot. A business model where you have various ways to give more money to Blizzard means hardcore players will in general become more important for Blizzard. In this case you even get a free name change, so just be wise and pick a proper one then. | ||

They could either say "you can change it once a year" or "you can´t change it at all, think about it when cr8ing your Acc" would be fine with me...... I just dislike the hole micropayment stuff..... | ||

You know it's a service they offer that you shouldn't use more then once anyways. It's there to change a shitty name you chose, not to create smurf "accounts" which doesn't make any sense anyways as it still just changes your name. But haters gonna hate, so have fun with that ;p | ||

You are being unreasonable as to the real costs of developing a game and running a large support service like battle.net and continued development for many years. Games are getting more costly as they become larger and more integrated - we're not playing tetris anymore. I for one welcome micro transactions, as it gives incentive to companies to continue to support their games well after release. Without some sort of continual income directly related to how well a game does long term, there is little incentive to look towards long term support for your games. The type of pay on purchase only model is what induces companies to produce crappy title after crappy title. | ||
