I assume that Cabal doesn't rip people off of money to 'support the servers with maintenance'. Do the math. The average full player of World of Warcraft or another MMORPG is fifteen dollars a month. That is the pure industry standard. Blizzard claims that over ten million people play WoW regularly.
$15 x 12 = 180 dollars a year to play.
180 x 10,000,000 = 1,800,000,000 dollars Blizzard can claim to make.
Almost two billion dollars for server upkeep? Now, I know that not every player of WoW pays the industry standard of fifteen dollars a month, but there is still a greater majority that does. My guess is that 1.5 billion is made a year from WoW, with ten or so thousand for server upkeep.
So, who wants a Wiki for a corporate ploy for making money? World of Warcraft is definitely not there for the players, that is for sure. To Blizzard, those claimed ten million are walking paychecks.

Cabal is free! And that's what WoW will never have, except for the trial version. But after that, you gotta pay some bucks. And to do a screenshot, you gotta hold the Fn key, and press the insert key. Then go to the Cabal folder. And the picture should in the screenshot file.

That is some hard work. For all of the EaW screenshots, I just CTRL + Prt Scr and pasted to Paint. Cropped it and uploaded. No having to go into any crazy folders...

Well, cABAL IS FREE, yes. BUT, it will never have a storyline that draws us to it.
...And WoW is cheaper than here, redneck punks! >=D

Who plays games for storylines? I skip all of the cutscenes and what-not in every game I play.

Then you'll just miss half of the game's joy.

History = Fun History = Half a game's fun Skipping history = Losing half of fun
Math...

History class = BORING
And nobody gives a crap about storylines, especially in online games. Look at the Halo series: Barely any Single player, but fantastic online multiplayer.
Video games are supposed to be an interactive experience. If I wanted to watch cutscenes and/ or read a storyline I'd go to Youtube, or even watch TV. Watching =/= Playing.

Storyline is pretty important though. It's just that it gets boring!

No, but I'm sure you could find it on Wiki. Cabal didn't come out too long ago... in fact, it came out in early February (and that was just the beta). WoW has been out for many years... So, yeah.
