These MMO's do tend to drop in price quick if it's not WoW. Wait it out. But don't feel so bad waiting because I'm sure the first couple months of this game's release will be pretty broken gameplay-wise and you don't want to waste your free month trial duing the period where they are still working out the kinks. Even with the beta having run it's course, I have zero confidence this will run optimally during the first month of release.
