I think the pricing is awesome. Thanks guys! My only concern is if I sign up for a full year at the $5, will i be able to upgrade my subscription to the 'full' subscription when the applications are ready? Just pay the difference? As long as this upgrade path is available then I have nothing further to really say! Great job.

Any idea about the payment methods? Will Paypal be available for example?

If you pay ahead for a year, your price is locked in for the extent of that time period, for that level of subscription. (in this case, the web-content option)
Is it possible to upgrade your subscription at any time? So if the client apps come out you can get the next level, and pay the difference between the web content and the full subscription?
Or are you stuck with the old subscription, or do you have to get a new one and the money payed in advance is lost? (I don't guess so, but it would be nice to know exactly how it is handled...)

Basically, the stuff that's available for free right now: Dragon articles, Dungeon articles, & the Compendium.
The fancier stuff like the character visualizer, v-minis and v tabletop will be a different (read: higher) pricing system.
I was really thinking that the eventual character visualizer, v-tabletop etc were going to get a free trial period as well, but now I guess not. Kind of risky to subscribe to things sight unseen IMO.
Oh so they are going to start charging now for what is free, and then sucker people into yearly subscriptions for higher priced things without geting to see them unless they go to some convention and stand in line hoping they get a turn with them?
Um...no.
It seems like you buy this trial material and then have to extend beyond that to get the other things, so you MUST buy what is currently free later.
I think they still have their heads stuck up their....accounting ledgers...too far to listen to the customers if that is the case.

I really hope Paypal is available. Being able to easily and securely pay is a maker or breaker for me

$5 a month for dungeon and dragon sounds fine to me. I DM a fair bit and dungeon is nice.

This serves as an example. Additionally i do not find the definition of a Bull Rush as described in the combat chapter of the PH in the Compendium. I am sure there is more, e.g. charge and grab.

IMHO, this is all fine and good, and I do appreciate the price drop, but my faith is gone. You can count on $7.95 from me for a one month personal trial when *everything* is done and ready to use.
I won't promise anything more.
Personally, as a show of good faith, I truly hope that WotC releases a working version of the dungeon builder, character builder, and game table before they plan to go live on the pay plan.
Wizard's reputation could use to restore our faith.
EDIT: My mistake, I misunderstood what I read. If I am now understanding it correctly, you are going to charge us $7.95/mo, or $4.95/mo x12, for what you are offering right now, plus maybe a few minor tools? No, I am sorry.

Great to see some more news about what's coming in the D&DI pipeline. I have two quick questions, which you may or may not yet have the answer to (but it can't hurt to ask):
- If you buy the Web-Content Only Subscription Package for six-months or a year prior to the other D&DI features becoming available, how will it work in terms of upgrading your subscription once the virtual tabletop becomes available? I'm guessing we'd be charged the difference each month in the plans, but that's just my guess.
- Randy mentioned that the Ability and Encounter Generators are ready to go live. When are they going up and where will we find them on the website? (There's currently no tab in the D&DI section for either of those items.)
Thanks!
