So do you think people would happily pay possibly hundreds of dollars upfront to play an MMO to "account for server costs"? Players have to pay extra no matter what, if the customer isn't paying for the server costs who is? You also have to keep in mind that WoW expansions are massive compared to most OSRS updates and are released on a fairly short schedule, that kind of dev cycle takes a lot of money to maintain.
