World of Warcraft

[Eclipse]

okay, I'm gonna run get a soda from the gas station, I'll be back on ~15 mins.

Sad news:

As Nov. 6, I will not be playing World of Warcraft. The reason is primarily financial: without any income and a rather large credit card debt, I cannot justify $15 a month on any game. I hope to be back soon - once I have an income again, I'll be buying prepaid game cards. However, I don't know when that will be.

In the meantime, I plan on getting the most out of my remaining days. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up. :)

I took a trial of WoW and it was really fun, and I liked it. I'm not one to get addicted to games, so I wasn't worried about that. Its just to expensive.

See, I don't understand the "expensive" concern. I've been a gamer since as far as I can remember. Ever since I got a job I've regularly bought a game (50-70 bucks) each month, sometimes more. So paying 40 bucks (original and expansion) and another 40 for the new expansion, plus 15 a month, is less than me buying a new game every month.

Heck, just looking at my book shelf, I spent more money on 3E books that I didn't get much use out of than I have on WoW.

I mean how many other games can you get so many hours of play out of as an MMO? Sure, I played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 at least 5 times through each, but it's not a game that continues to grow.

MMOs can be boring if you're alone, but this last month playing with Eclipse and Brainface and my roommate have been the best times I've ever had on an MMO. I'm just getting frustrated with Twinks, that's all.

Good point. See, the thing is, i'm a minor. So as of now, its to expensive for me. D&D books are also to expensive, but I don't have to pay monthly for them.

anyone still playing this?

[Nomadic]

I play, have a level 73 death knight on Arygos. Though I haven't been as active lately.

[Xeviat]

I haven't been playing for a while, having to conserve money.

[Nomadic]

out of curiosity... what level, race, and class are your main characters (for those that play)?

[Mason]

I just started. Im a troll mage 15th. Actually I don't really like the game, theres just nobody playing any tabletop RPGs around here this summer.

[Acrimone]

I had a 70th level Night Elf Rogue that I used to play a lot on the Scarlet Crusade server... I mostly just did PvP and hung out with my friends.  I wasn't going to sink money into the new expansion, though... at some point the ice cream eating contest has to stop, so I put my account on hold and haven't looked back.

65 pally on frostman that ive had since vanilla, 73 dk on frostmane and im starting a troll shaman on Earthen ring, also got a 15 orc warlock on earthen ring with a nice brewfest aht that i started when the cbg wow thing started

[Hooper]

I used to play (world champion at uselessness, seriously: wowinsider.com search "Venwe")

I'll be back because I said the only thing that could bring me back was them finally letting me past the wall to see Gilneas, and they're doing it in the expansion.

I'm huge on exploring.  Played back in the beginning been to Designer Isle and GM Isle and all the other spots - but could never get into Gilneas.

Upside-down Sinners was such a fun place to see.

[Elemental_Elf]

Just started playing again. If anyone's on 'The Venture Co.' server, horde side, look up Frannz or Eralightpike :)
