"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.

Especially seeing as I seem to complete most games in a week these days.

£8 a month is one hours work on a Sunday.

Now considering I'll play it for at least an hour a day, that's one hour of work for 30 hours of entertainment.

And seeing as I don't need much sleep it's more likely to be two hours a day, and on weekends it could be up to 6 hours.


Good value for money? I think so.

And with 730 days in those two years, that's just above more than 30p per day.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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'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.

If you get it, i'll get it.

I wanted to be undead though. :(

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.
