I can understand SOE renting out high level characters for $199 a month, but WoW? Matrix Online?

Who in their right mind would pay $199 for a character? WTF?!

The average BBC 'technology' article is akin to transporting a Victorian gentleman forward in time to the E3 Expo and asking for his views.

The same kind of person who murdered someone for selling his in game sword...

Hahahaha, are you serious? Link please?

Check the life forum for "Sweet Bejebus".

Ah cheers, just saw it. I'm speechless after reading that tbh.

In a way, the $199 is worse. You always get insane people, but an actual program suggests there is a market for characters... which is just depressing.

Not in that way, but in the way of the way society is headed.

You always got nutters who take things too seriously, but this paying $199 for what is basically nothing.... it doesn't make sense.

Maybe I nerd to play it, but I just don't get WoW.

I offer a go on my lv33 Shaman for a pack of smokes.
