World of Warcraft
I played warcraft 3 quite a lot and enjoyed it thoroughly and I was in a shop today and they were selling World of Warcraft for £8.99 and I was thinking about buying but just had a couple of questions first. Can it only be played in an online format? and does it cost to play it on line?

Re: World of Warcraft
Yes and yes. WoW is an massively multiplayer online game. So basically you buy the game and you get a month free. After that you have to pay so much a month (depends on where you live and how long of time the subscription blocks are for). You can also buy prepayed (sort of like phone cards) cards so you don't have to give them your credit card info if you don't want to. I also suggest you have high speed internet as it is painful over dialup.

Basically, 15$ per month.

In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

But could be as cheap as $13 a month if you do six months at $77...yeah I know huge savings.
Put it this way WoW is the only game I've spent $200 on...so far.
$50 game + two $77 six mo. subs.

Re: World of Warcraft
Well I won't bother with WoW then. Mainloy because I can't be spending that amount of money on online gaming and the damage it would do to my social life and my relationship with my girlfriend.

Re: World of Warcraft
This is the first time I've posted in awhile, but it's worth it to say that I *love* It. The book is hands down the smurf.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Lots and you can even use their parts for stuff like soup and spider silk for clothes.

Re: World of Warcraft
Was watching my Nephew play this on his PC today, it is a mindblowing game which if I had the time would love to participate in. Takes over some peoples life though, that is not good. Think I will hang on for Twighlight Princess on Gamecube and let that take over my life for a few months instead!
