I guess after paying 2 bucks an hour for so long this just seems real cheap.

christ Laz, you got off easy!  I remember paying $6.00 / hr on damn Genie, and that was for 1/2 time!!!  I still remember my ex-wife screaming for me to stop playing...

because it's worth it.

I don't see what all the fuss is about anyway.. heck a night on the town is more than 30 bucks.

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Thanks Fatty!  I was looking for a way to rationally justify my $30/month!    ;)

Actually, I cancelled my UO accounts (had 2, so that's $20 per month) and I don't eat out as much as I used to for lunch and dinner.  No telling how much that saves per month!!  I think I'm actually spending less per month now than I was before I joined AH.

edit: including estimated time in the SEA, i played about 30 hrs tour 17.  $1 an hour.  can't beat that price of entertainment at a movie, bar, etc.

Because after being dragged into "Moulin Rouge" by my bride and then realizing just how little (none at all?) entertainment $15 worth of theater tickets can buy....

I came to the conclusion that AH is simply an incredible entertainment value!

Ouch Toad.  :)
 
 I managed to avoid that one (good SA on my part that one day) and so the wife went to see it with her Mom.  ;) Said wife also walked out of the theatre after about 25 minutes it was so bad.

I wasn't so lucky!   :)

Kept hoping ole Nicole would reveal her true self a bit more... but alas, even that small hope was dashed.

Heck, I'd pay a buck per play rather than $30 a month.  Sometimes I can't justify the $360 a year ($560CAD) expense but I just love this sim.

My wife btw, has earned beaucoup leverage for her purchases for my habit.    :(

Look honey at the new $200 pair of shoes I bought. It's not as expensive as 'your game' so I thought would treat myself.

Joe, I'm betting you simply couldn't imagine how overjoyed we all are that you are happy.
