"I don't wanna spend £110 this year on WOW..."

...but it looks like I'm going to.

I hate you all.

It's £8 per month.
And like everybody else, I've not played anything else in the weeks I've had it. Brothers in Arms sits unplayed, Chaos Theory etc etc.
I just haven't wanted to play anything else, they seem so linear and unfulfilling.
Halflife 2 the best title of recent years? Pfffft, it's awesome but at the end of the day everybody's had the same experience.
Whereas no two people have the same WoW experience.

After a couple hours questing, I spent an hour fishing peacefully in a harbour so I can create underwater breathing. Was nice and relaxing.
But that ended up with me against 20+ Alliance players as I fought heroically to defend my lands.
By twotting a Paladin with a fishing pole whilst yelling "I HIT YOU! I HIT YOU!" in Orcish until he got bored and sauntered off, leaving me crying and alone on a wharf.

So many moments that have made me laugh or sat slackjawed in wonder (seeing Ironforge for the 1st time, gryphon riding across The Searing Gorge). Incidents like being chased into the sea by angry giraffes who stood confused whilst a soggy troll blew raspberries - until he was attacked by turtles.

£8 per month.
Awesome.
Still, each to their own.

STOP MAKING ME WANT IT!!!

I'm trying to ween myself off the urge

Grrrrr, maybe if it's ~only~ £8 a month.

OK, I'll get it, if they have it.

If I decide however that I don't wanna play it for a month, can I cancel the payment and then resume at another time? I won't lose my character will I?

I've just given in, join me. Joooooiiiiin me.

I don't know but the 1st month is free anyway.
But you will like it. Because nobody hasn't, even myself. I loathed beardy elfy pixie crap until I played this.
Mind you, I still can't read any fantasy books or buy one of those posters of a snake-eyed woman naked with a sword.

But the game is awesome.

Your first Month is free anyway, so your card won't get debited until a Month after registering.

I don't know if you'll lose your character after cancelling. Probably, but don't hold me to that.

As I suggested before, those of you who want it but don't have it yet, try and get hold of a Friend's Guest Pass, giving you 10 days to try it out for free.

It all boils down to one sad fact - I haven't got the funds. At the moment.

It says on the official site that if you create a character then stop playing (and I guess end your contract with them) that they will "keep your characters for a minimum of 6 months from the day your account was closed".

Excellent, I'll get it and cancel the subscription when important times such as exams come around.

I'm off to buy this game and waste my life away now, wish me luck.

I should be studying now but instead I got my Engineering up to 205 and no I'm a Gnome Engineer Artisan.

Or something
