On the free-to-play front, is there concern that will erode World of Warcraft base?

TT: No. There is no comparison to the quality of World of Warcraft. VB: Maybe.

But it is interesting to see Free Realms claim they have 10 million registered users (now 12 million). TT: Are they paying $15 a month for it? VB: No, the players at Free Realms are not.

And they probably convert low numbers of them to paid players. But if there is more and more free stuff, what happens? TT: It comes down to the quality of the free stuff.

The quality of World of Warcraft is so high that not even other MMOs have shown any chance to be able to compete. There were some very well capitalized companies with well established intellectual properties that tried to compete. That includes Sony with Star Wars.

They couldn’t make it happen. It’s the single most difficult thing to try to do. VB: So life is good.

TT: Yes, I think so. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
