"World of Warcraft"

Decided I have to get this, will be around the end of January when I (finally) have BB.

Anyone here planning on playing this? I've decided on being a Night Elf Rogue so if anyone wants to create a party with me you'll have to be one of the Alliance races.

Been reading about it and it sounds brilliant so, yeah.

Also decided my primary professions will be Skinning and Leatherworking.

Bah, February 25th? What a joke. How can it take 3 months to get from America to Britain, it doesn't even have a NTSC/PAL conversion - it's the same bloody discs in UK boxes. It's stupid Europe again and all their silly languages.

Nah doubt it. I'll have no time for such a consuming MMORPG. Plus I don't really want to pay the monthly fees.

As far as MMORPG's go, I don't think this is one of the really time consuming ones.

I'll be trying it out.
I'd play with you WS, but for my intense fear of you beating me, verbally.

If you get it, i'll get it.

I wanted to be undead though. :(

I'm waiting to pre-order the collectors edition, gives you a cloth map, a booklet of concept art, a making of CD and three exclusive pets you can use in the game (One of which is a Zergling, of Starcraft fame). Can't find it yet though.

I'll be playing as one of the horde, probably as one of the undead. The horde seem to have a better collection of races to play as compared to the Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes of the Alliance.

I'll never get it due to it's monthly fees..

This Figures are based on the payment for 2 years..

Payment using the 6th months plan (£7.70 a month, 2 years)

£7.70 x 24
----------
£186.34

Payment of the game (1st hand)

£30 (Average PC game amount)

£186.34 +
£30
---------
£216.34

£216 pounds for 2 years of WoW play

And if you want to go collectors edition, fine, add another £20?
Oh!! And I say 2 years, because thats the 'normal' span time of playing a MMO in my opion, getting a level, Meeting a clan.. things.

I've decided to steer clear of monthly payment games. Even earning upwards of £30k, I've enough bills to pay without frittering away half my annual gaming budget on one game.

A shame, because some of these games look awesome, but they're not nearly worth what they cost.

Any amount of money is going to look like allot if you add it up over two years, but for the short term, £7.70 a month is actually quite a reasonable amount of money. I spend more than that every one to tow weeks on useless junk, so I can easily part with less for a game that's already being hailed as one of the finest MMORPGs around.

Can't wait to be honest, the PCGamer review went into great detail about the game. Perhaps the one thing that stood at most was that Blizzard have actually cut down on the exessive skill grinding that bogs down so many MMORPG's, while making every facet of the world they've created interesting to explore.

But suely if you enjoy it for the two years, what does it matter?
