I am going to start playing WoW.
There. I said it.
I have always been anti-WoW, but honestly there is not a better mmo out there.
So here is my question.
How do WoW expansions work?
If I make a new account, do I have to pay $30 to upgrade to BC AND $40 for WotLK?
That's pretty steep.

Haha im playing WoW atm.

You can pay just the $20 and get original WoW w/o any expansions but you can't access any BC content until you upgrade.

That won't make too much of a difference until you're higher level (like 55+) unless you want to make either a Blood Elf or Dreinei character.

Then its kind of the same story for WotLK. You can interact with BC and WotLK players perfectly fine, you just can't do anything expansion related.

I feel bad for you. You pretty much have sold your soul to the devil. Now forget about good grades or a girlfriend. No, just keep focused on getting to lvl 80, that's all that matters....

In all seriousness, there pretty much is no better mmo. I was looking for a wow killer like warhammer but meh, it doens't like it will even scratch wow's fan base. I mean 11 million players, cmon.

Also there should be a battle chest with WoW + BC and then you need WotLK. Also, be sure to level up with Recruit-A-Friend and an add-on like Questhelper.

wow is probably the worst mmo lvls 1-70 (SERIOUSLY)
however, levels 70-80, it feels like a totally different game
a different game I actually enjoy

ps: Playing wow alone = teh sux. Play with a friend, it's less boring leveling up.

My grades already suck (lazyness, and lack of effort, time is the one resource I have excess of), and there are going to be too many girl dramas for me this winter break already, so those aren't issues.

I completely understand all the criticism. I have been a hater for years.

I guess I will be playing vanilla until 60, unless someone who doesn't play anymore wants to donate a BC account to me.

Also, I have a large group of friends who play on Sargeras, so friends will not be a problem.

I just read about the Recruit-A-Friend system and it makes very little logistical sense.

The vet account is supposed to be lower level, therefore play less, BUT stay within level to get the 3x xp.

Why would someone who is newly recruited play MORE than the veteran (read: wownerd) who recruited them?

You play together and get 3times the experience.

So you pretty much only play together, everything else would just be stupid. And when you leveled up a pair of characters, the vet account gets another free lvl 30, because of the bonus levels.

To the OP: Well, I once wanted to play WoW so bad but once you realise how much a waste of time it is, you'd just get over it. Silly game though. Never playing it again.

There's a kid in my dorm who plays WoW. I've seen him out of his chair like 3 times in the time since school started. I don't think I've seen him interact with a real live human yet...
