EQ2 even cheaper
It's 16.99 at Outpost. I imagine that they make far more money off subscriptions, per user, than retail sales. Add in adventure pack sales, web extras and word-of-mouth sales, and it's not hard to see why SOE is taking a hit at retail to get more people playing.
My guess is that the only people who bite are the ones who are already playing an EQ-like MMO (FFXI, EQ, AC, AC2, DAOC) and now have an excuse to try a different game (it's cheap, 30 days free). I don't think a lot of people who never played an MMO before will buy it.
