The character builder did look nice, but it's nothing you couldn't do with scratch paper, a compendium, and your print screen button.
But yeah it's nice for saving time and turning out reasonable character sheets.

Yes. There will be two subscription methods. a $10/month, and a $15/month. Also, there will be reduced costs for annual subscriptions, etc.
Oh, yeah, and who pre-orders the PHB and pays $35 for it? I got the three-book set for $60, with free shipping, pre-ordered.
As for the complaining about no free-month of DDI....are you paying for it currently? Or are you getting Dragon and Dungeons online-magazines, and the Compendium, for free?
...thought so.
I wonder how many people who are actually going to be paying for this are -not- going to subscribe to the yearly subscription? I don't understand why anyone would pay the extra $5/month, except possibly to try 1 or 2 months first, then going yearly subscription or dropping completely.
Anyone who is planning on going month to month permanently, can you please explain why?

Yes there is. Support Kobold Quarterly or Dragon Roots or any other actual magazine (lets face it, Dragon is no longer a magazine its web articles you have to pay for) that comes out.
Make WOTC realize killing Dragon magazine was a mistake.
My problem is that DDI will be used to suppliment campaign setting material. Instead of putting out 10 Forgotten Realms books, they're putting out 3 and any other information goes in the e-mag.
That said, $5 is fine for two magazines.

And novels and adventures, but I understand what you're saying.
Personally, I love that. I want more core and more settings overall.

I'll probably go month-to-month for one or two months. At least one month with the full subscription, just to give it a whirl. Once I settle on whether or not to get the full, I'll likely get the annual subscription.

15 dollars is nothing no matter who you are, if you really need it go beg for money on a corner of a street for an hour. The average salary of a begger is 29k a year (fulltime mind you)

That's not bad, I should drive into the city on weekends to supplement my income for my poor choices gaming purchases.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]This is a very long thread so excuse me if I'm asking something that has been answered (pressed for time currently).
1. Will all content and rules and errata and clarifications from all new books be useable on all the DDi tools? If not lame. Although I can understand a two month delay in adding the content like Magic Online.
2. How valid and official will Dungeon or Dragon stuff be? Will I be able to use it in the RPGA campaigns? I know most GM's don't use or even look at the old Paizo Dragons because it was cracked out. Although Dungeon was more about campaigns. And my table used the RPGA ban and restricted list as a guide for our ban and restricted list.
3. Will DDi's online play be in conjuction with RPGA campaigns, or will those things be tracked separately? If separate, tisk tisk tisk.
4. Will the online dungeon be more than just a map? Things like having text pop up when players scroll over stuff would be awesome. Or text when players move through a door and etc. This would also be great for adventure making. And since user content is the way of the future for all forms of media, it would only make sense for players to be able to upload home created mods and adventures for the world to use. Maybe have a voting system and a view tracker, so people can weed out the crap.
5. 3D movement and hexes!?[/FONT]

Stop giving out exp.
Stop having your players roll for stats or wealth.
Stop making them build each pick a different role, if they all wanna be rangers let them and don't kill them for it, stop ruining their fun.
