The Daily Grind: Have you had to cancel an MMO subscription?

While there may be reason to believe the economy is set to improve in the near future, at the moment the United States is facing something of a downturn (the blogger writes delicately). As a result, everyone's looking to their own personal bottom line. Things that you'd let slide a year ago might not be so easy to write off today. As a result, it sounds like a lot of people in the MMO gaming community are re-examining their hobby to see where pennies might be pinched.

This blogger, for example, has had to made some hard decisions about where he's going to put his play time and his pay time. The ongoing awesomeness of Middle-earth won out over new fun in Azeroth for the time being. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's let an account lapse, though. Have you put an MMO subscription out to pasture while things blow over? If you have, how did you make your decision? And, if you're not playing a subscription game anymore, have you started in with a free-to-play alternative or just turned to other ways of gaming?
