If it was a one time, pay to play. The pay rate would have to go up. ALOT...
Ry, and AGF aren't asking for much, but around the same as the RS fee

It's not mandatory, nor is it too costly. The only reason we would need a monthly fee is because for dedication it's $100.00 (Or more) per month, per server.
So spead out, it wouldn't be alot. $4.99 a play, x 100 player's. $499.00 cash. That leave's money left for ANYTHING else. Such as electricity, and internet. Which Ry has stated he is not paying for at the moment. But might be in the near future

So if we made it a one time pay, and play for ever... It wouldn't make the ded. last very long, for no one want's to pay a high rate now. Even though $4.99 a month, is the same as $499.00 for 100 day's. It's more managable at $4.99 per month, over a period of time

Because right now, I doubt many player's are going to pay for the Membership untill they see how well WSB/Membership is

~Chris Hope I summed that up
