Not the OP, but from the numbers you get a view on what playing a "free to play" game to the end will cost you (600USD).
Which is about as jaw-dropping as what people spend on WoW and other pay-to-play games to get to the end game.

(Even more incidentally, I am pretty sure you can get to WoW's end-game within a couple of years of playing, so $150–$300 seems like a reasonable estimate of that game's TCO.)
