I second that notion bullet! I pay to play, and have done so since the subscription thing came out. Lately, I'm starting to get very frustrated. Weren't we promised subscribe= a lot less lag, and to have our choice of servers...?! Last 5 days or so now, vimy and mess are running same game game, same peolple, and lag is worse, not better, as of last night, I'm only able to log in to messiness server, no art, no fest, no bori. So now, my choice of server has disappeared. So I'm questioning .. why the heck am I still paying? Zup, I mean no offense to u what so ever, but surely u can't expect ppl to continue to pay, for no updates, especially when choices have been taken away, and the lag just gets worse by the hour the hour now, not even days anymore. If u want to spend time updating and getting elite ready, that's fine and u do a great job. But all the newer players (low levels) are going to want to continue on DF 1 first to level up before they migrate to elite..
