| I do not. If it was possible to only buy articles that I wanted, and/or pay a lesser fee for fewer features, I would. I object to WotC's all-or-nothing approach to the DDI, so they get no money from me. |

I had voted no on the same principles. Even when they had the printed magazines, you could sign up for a subscription or pick and choose which issues you wanted at the FLGS. Not having that choice means them not receiving my money. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Because I wanted any and all information I could get on The Ride, I decided to get DDI for a month...

| But see, you're not sure what you're going to get. If they still did the old Dragon/Dungeon magazines, you'd see it in the store, pick it up, browse the article and *then* decide if you wanted to buy the magazine for that. All you can do here is see a little intro to the article and see if subscribing for a month (and remembering to unsubscribe at the end of the month) is worth it after the fact. |

| No, as I am only interested in FR lore. |

| Yes the Character Creator and the monster builder are both invaluable tools that I use. |

Yes, for the FR lore, the core articles I can easily apply to FR games, the 4e tools, and for professional reasons. (I do write for them occasionally, after all.)

I voted no, as most scribes did.

| I voted yes because of the sheer amount of information accessable to you through the articles, DM tool-kit, and character generator. It's pretty silly NOT to get the subscription if your using 4e rule set and love the Realms. And, (looks around to see who's watching) I gave my friend my account information so he can log-on and access the info as well. They allow you so many updates on multipul computers a month so I up-date my persoal desk-top, my lap-top, and my friend's computer. Works out really well. |

| Nope. Not worth it since I don't play 4e and not worth it for professional reasons since after a poor experience with pitching to the e-zines early on I'm not inclined to do so again. |
