Well, obviously a lifetime subscription is only going to last as long as the game does. However, if the game lasts for two years and you keep playing, you could feel totally justified.

I'm actually pretty interested in seeing that offer. Lord of the Rings Online has/does offer something similar, too. I've been curious as to how well that has gone over.

I'm pretty ADD when it comes to my MMO habits though, so... :-)
