I'm not going to buy it for now... it's always the same scheme.

In this time I've not much free time, but some weeks I've installed "Path of Exile" as Beta tester (http://www.pathofexile.com/).
It's almost the same game but free.

Pathfinder for those unaware is the open source game D&D 3.5 turned into after the marketing whizz kids at Hasbro stuffed up official D&D 4.0 by creating a childish tabletop cross between WoW and Warhammer where players got to be "awesome and cool" from day one. The theory was it would sell more books to snotty nosed early teens, it probably did but traditional D&D fans abandoned it in droves.

In other words Pathfinder is oldschool D&D, where players need to know what they are doing to survive and never get handed all sorts of magical cheats from day one. Hopefully the online version of Pathfinder will carry this through and make it a game worth playing.
Good to know.

I'm still playing an old DnD adventure using Pathfinder's rules (I own the rulebook and the bestiary) and we have still fun after almost 20 years of roleplay gaming.

Not only DnD 4.0 is for child... even the new version Warhammer RPG ends in that way.
