A dissapointment in what way? there is nothing new and exciting to be expected from it, yet it is far more polished than any of the new ARTS games available now, you're right though, if they'd picked a P2P model....it would have hurted the competition and eased it for HoN, LoL and others.

I guess you'll see it when you play it, i'm waiting for my friends to pick it up as soon as it is available so we can get back into it.
