The game takes almost no effort to play but clicking a couple buttons, and combined with good scenery, music and fun storylines, it really takes you to some other kind of world, it tranquilizes you. I really like WoW, but it is nothing compared to Vanilla. Vanilla was THE shit. | ||

The link wanted me to log in, even though I was already logged in in another tab. Had it been legit, it would have been able to read the cookie and see that I was logged in. Unless there's a blue post on b.net about it, it's obviously a scam. EDIT- Or not. I just clicked my account button on bnet (not using the link in the email), and it made me log in again, and the URL was exactly the same as the one in the email. After I did log in, WoW appeared under the games on my account (needless to say, I've never bought WoW). Odd that Blizz would do such a bad job with the PR on this. I'm not going to be an ungrateful douche and say "omg, Blizz shouldn't give me free stuff!!!", but they really should have made a public post so people wouldn't think it was a phishing email. | ||

First of all, why can't people do some research and make clever decisions anymore? There's a huge discussion in Sweden right now about young people using bad loan deals (Sms-lån) to get money fast, but they don't get that they can't afford it in the long run. And it's the COMPANIES, providing this service, that gets the blame, when it SHOULD be the retards that uses the loans. Secondly, anything in our society can become an addiction. Drinking gallons of coke every day is bad for your health, as is bad eating habits. The same thing goes with things like WoW, or SC2, or any other hobbies you do. Doing things in moderation is the way to go. And please, if you get a free sample or anything, be it coke or WoW or anything else, don't fucking blame the companies if YOU can't understand how to use this in moderation. Bring back some demands on the customer, aswell as the companies. | ||

Since Cataclysm, the best content in the game is available with just the base game. The 1-60 levelling experience is completely different and worth going through at least once, which you can easily do in 30 days. The expansion content in terms of TBC and Wrath is significantly worse than the 1-60 and 80-85 content now available, to the point where I wish they'd just take it out of the game entirely. | ||

Simply put, they make a LOT more money from your 1 year WoW subscription than they do your $60 one-time Starcraft II purchase. Only makes sense to try and hook as many potential customers as possible. | ||

I would agree with this opinion so long as they put a disclaimer on the game cover that says the game may cause you to turn into a massive no life game addict. | ||

The thing is, you can definitely play casually from lvl 1 to 85, but it's the end-game experience that can really hook you up and turn you into an hardcore wow player. | ||
