The great thing about subscription models is that you get to pick and choose when to play. If you're not playing right now, cancel and come back whenever you actually are ready to play. There's no need to throw money out the window when it's so easy to come back.

I think Aion will be getting the chop. Not that I don't like it but it's just that it hasn't thrilled me like I thought it would plus I don't have the time to invest in it at the moment. I'm still enjoying WoW more and as everyone else has pointed out, EVE is a good game to keep on the backburner as I can still progress with it without having to play for hours every day. Thanks for the wise feedback! :) You speak a lot of sense, sir. I think Aion will be getting the chop.

Obviously it isn't in the interest of the MMO companies to give us that sort of varied subscription. The odd thing though is that one of the driving factors behind it for say, cell phone companies, is competition. Although there are a ton of MMOs out there, there doesn't seem to be any competition over the monthly subscription. I find that very strange, don't you? You'd think they'd be falling over themselves to attract players with a sweet deals and incentives but they don't. Yeah, you’re right and I think that’s why we’ve never seen it before.
