new angle on lifetime sub

I suppose you could play the game for a year and feel as though it was a good investment. I don't easily quit mmo's if they get me hooked, so I guess it would be a good deal for me. It's simple math really... if you would play the game for 14 months, then it is a good deal to get the lifetime.
This can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, that if you buy the lifetime membership, then you WILL play for at least 14 months, but I guess the real question is whether you are happy with the game at all. If you are sick of it in 2 months, it's not worth the 65 bucks to buy it in the first place.
A person could graph cost/play time, and I'm sure if you think the game is not worth the lifetime membership, then it may not be worth buying at all, since the cost/month ratio favors long play time to dilute the initial purchase... but that is likely thinking it through too much.
One more thing, people don't talk about very often if the ability to trade, resell or come back to an account a long time later. I don't condone selling accounts, but I'm willing to bet a lifetime account would fetch far more money than a regular account. Thus you could get some of your play-time money back, even if you break even. More importantly, you could just check back into a game months later, and that could really add up. I have played, quit, then rejoined several mmo's over the years. Most of which, I would have saved a ton to have a lifetime sub to it.

If you don't condone selling accounts, why even suggest this and give people ideas?
