What if World of Warcraft had been a free-to-play ad-based game?
Interestingly, Pardo commented on this subject: “When were first going to make World of Warcraft, we wanted to make it free and advertising supported.”
However, the Blizzard exec noted: “We didn’t want to charge a subscription, but as we researched market conditions, we realized that wouldn’t support us.”  Content suppressed by ://URLFAN, for full article visit source

I’ve done a lot of work on the back end, upgrading the version, deleting a lot of old data, and other improvements that will hopefully improve performance, but I haven’t yet found the magic bullet that will let me fix this issue (This post is coming from writing directly into the DB).
