Do you think that the monthly subscription fees will go down if the economy takes a huge dive to keep their server populations up, or do you think that they will welcome the decline shut her down and if you're Blizzard roll in the pile of money. Do you think anything else may or may not happen if things keep going bad, will future MMO's like SW: Old Republic or Stargate Worlds will change their strategy by launch. I thought this to be interesting and would like to hear some opinions.
