I agree that I'd hate to pay $30 to play the same game, but in a sense I can understand the need for the seperate charge. Many people tend not to realize the amount of manpowers needed to maintain a mmorg game as well as updating it regularly with new contents. Programmers are not cheap. There are also the cost for QA. The cost for advertising. The cost for music & art development ... etc etc. All of which cost $$$.
The way I see it, either the old team for the CoH will need to split their workload between CoH and CoV ... and we'll see a sharp decline in the overall progress... or they can have another team devoted specically for CoV. Hence the need for the extra $15.
From the development point of view the price hike may be unavoidable... even tho we as costumers will probably hate it. Hopefully they'll have a compromise for it. Such as $15 for each Coh or CoV individually. Or $20 dollar for both together. I can swallow $20, but $30 is just going to make me seriously reconsider playing the game.
