According to the post by Solice here (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1099501) the transition to subscription status could be as early as tuesday. And as soon as it goes subscription, access to the other articles for october that *was* free will be lost.

To be honest I was all "WOW" at first, but now it's not gripping me much. Then again, I'm also one of "those" people who looked at the Swordmage and squeed with the crowd for a while then went back to the Core 8 classes.

Too bad the rest of Dragon isn't. I've enjoyed many of the articles, but the price seems awfully high to me, considering how little D&Di seems to offer other than that. Maybe I'll reconsider when, and if, they get more of the content up and running. Ah, that’s excellent news.
