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.   | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

Either way, the expansion is okay, I play about an hour a day unless I've got alot of stuff to do. | ||

It isn't like you get nothing out of it, I've met people I never would have if I wasn't involved in TL and SC. | ||

Wow is a giant chatroom with a theme that everyone there can relate too. Everyone can meet friends there, which I think is one of the biggest draws of the game. | ||

Obviously if you play wow you have no choice but to play it 12 hours a day because people don't have any self control. Seriously only 3% or less of the people who play wow probably play that much. | ||

I don't think I've seen him interact with a real live human yet... seriously calm down with the "no-life" thing. anyone with half a brain and decent selfcontrol can maintain himself to just a few hours of play per week. and why are people keep saying you will "lose" 2 years of your life? Isn't it the same with every thing you start and then stop one time or another? when you'll quit starcaft, will you consider to have "lose" 10 years of your life? there is a bunch of unnecessary things in life, do you think the 1000 posts you have on TL will stay in your memory forever as something you HAD to do? certainly not, but who cares, you had fun for a while and you'll have fun with another game later and maybe you'll have fun with a sport or with your kids if you ever get some. | ||

This game will steal your soul as well as at least two years of your life Only if his soul is weak! If you feel like a miserable person then don't start playing wow since it will suck your life force out of you.(Or do it since it gives your life a meaning, whatever) If you feel like you got plenty of stuff to do all the time then you don't need to start playing, but if you do you will feel that it takes a bit too much of your free time and thus you will either quit or give up a bit of other activities. If you feel like an average person with some time to spare every day then yes, it is a quite good time waster as long as you don't replace other activities with wow playtime. | ||
