I myself still think AO is worth it. The expansions do have alot to offer. Don't be surprised if they continue the free program beyond that date though. There has even been rumors floating around ( I haven't checked too hard as far as confirming them) that they may be making the current expansions free after LE comes out. I think anything like that happening will depend on how successful AoC is when it comes out.

But I think the free deal will keep going poast Jan `07. They will probably plan to keep extending it a year ad infinitum.
The only reason they have to name a date is incase there is a reason they cannot renew the contract with Massive.
