Are they actually charging for this game at the moment? Last I heard it was such a failure it's free to play until they bring it up to code.

If it is free and they want your credit card info I can see that going sour. You go along playing the game then unexpectedly you get charged like $20 for a month because they decided to give little to no clear indication of monthly payments starting.

Making MMO's with monethy payments must be the biggest money making scam businesses can do these days. You charge relatively insane amounts of money for several servers to just sit there and run. MMO's have very little personal help, you already payed full price for a game, other companies live off the initial sell for programmers... Then even after minimal content is added for a year or so they decide it's time for an equally expensive expansion to gouge addicted players even more.

With automatic subscriptions it makes the process easier but all the more shadowy when hooking gamers (less notable that they are being gouged each month)

I've been caught in this money hole before (FFXI for a short time and WoW for longer)
