I don't really care what the subscription fee is; I'm pretty sure it's not going to be more than $15 for Classic.
But please, Blizzard, don't bundle Classic for free with Live. Some of us aren't interested in playing live, will never be interested in playing live, and would prefer the character names we wanted weren't grabbed by retail players who just wanted to poke their heads in and yell LOL WHY ARE YOU PLAYING AN OLD GAME WHAT"S WRONG WITH YOU!!!111?
Give Live players a discount if you want. Make paying for either Classic or Retail cost $15/month but paying for both of them cost only $20. Or make them entirely separate, such that paying for both of them costs $30. Or make Classic cheaper because it's not what you care about. Just don't offer Classic free with a Retail subscription.
However deluded classic zealots might be about the millions of classic/vanilla monthly subscribers who will play the game (LOL!), Blizz won't cut off their nose to spite their face.
They won't let classic/vanilla cannibalize subs from live. They know where the most potential money is - in WoW tokens, pets and mounts sales in live.
Will there even be a cash shop in classic/vanilla?
