There is a lot of work in maintaining the systems required to support even something as simple (relatively speaking) as battle.net . When you start to get into something like everquest or similar MMORPGs, its very expensive to do. You have the obvious hardware costs, administrators to pay, hackers to keep out, software glitches to fix, not to mention the costs of developing new content. Its not as if they're charging you money for nothing.

And do not forget the cost of bandwidth.
