hit 80 on my 5th character (Shadow Priest and my 1st toon ever) the day before yesterday.

4 lvl 80's on Malygos (Alliance)
1 lvl 80 on Kilrogg (Horde)

Gear Scores between 3k and 4.5k (as per the Curse AddOn).
It's tough to get gear when you play so many different characters.

I know mine is over 5k by what people tell me with that addon but I don't use it. I do know for fury warriors on the alliance side for my realm I'm 9th best geared.

It's easy to get gear when you only raid on one toon.

Wow... I haven't played WoW in some time. Last was on a private server, but it just isn't the same experience. I miss my Pally on there, but I'm afraid the monthly cost just isn't worth it. They really need to consider lowering the price because that is what is keeping everyone I know away from it.

I don't know what your financial situation is but I don't consider $30 for 2 months is that bad of a deal. I have a lot of fun on WoW so it's well worth it.

It's not so much that I can't afford it as it is that I don't think it's worth it. I love WoW, but I don't love it $14.99 a month's worth. To put it in perspective, I pay $4.99 a month for Xbox Live and with that I get the ability to play multiple games online, chat with voice while I play, NetFlix, MSNBC news and much much more. For three times that cost I get to play a game that I've already paid $50 for (plus $50 for the Burning Crusade update) and the ability to type-chat. It just seems a bit extreme. To add to that, there were two other updates that I haven't bought to add to the cost.

WoW is a great MMO... the best IMHO. That being said, though, I don't think any of these MMOs are worth what they charge a month and I just wish the cost would go down or that they would at least create a network so that my $14.99 a month would give me access to more than just one game.

which is why I pay every 6 months. $15/mo is a bit steep.

The monthly fees are why I don't get into online gaming. Between school, gas money and my kids, I wouldn't be able to afford anything else, even if it was only 15-25 a month for a game or two.

Yeah but paying every 6 months still makes it around $12 a month, right?

Yeah. something like that. There's that mental barrier of $15 a month vs $12. If I was a total addict, I'd do the yearly plan.

Yeah if I had credit cards or even a debit card I probably would. I love the game. My warrior is 5th in gear for alliance, 6th on the realm and I recently earned a spot on the top 100 of all classes on the alliance side.

Yeah. I'm not addicted at all.

But do you have the Mohawk Grenades?

Here's my Shadow Priest. Started playing November of 2007 as my first character and he's still my main:

http://www.wow-heroes.com/index.php?zon ... ame=Preach

I struggled for years trying to justify paying a monthly fee to play a game. I realized it was worth it once I started playing WoW. I was probably the biggest hater of WoW until I started playing. I stopped playing for about six months just before WOTLK came out and I've been playing again regular since about March of last year.

Best way for me to justify paying $15 a month is to look at my wife. She pays $20 a month for nails and $30 a month to tan. I don't have any other recurring expenses other than my comics every month. For that - and the fact that my best friends play - is enough to justify it.

Unblessed · Post by **Unblessed** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 5:51 pm

Here are my guys:
Shadow Priest - Gear Score 5707
Prot Paladin - 5228
Arcane Mage - 5408
MM Hunter - 5245
Prot Warrior - 3046 (Just made lvl 80. not in the mood to farm heroics for badges. My 3rd tank.)

Horde Prot Paladin

Yay alts.

Spread out across all my Alliance toons: Max Engineering, Blacksmithing, Mining, Skinning, Alchemy, Herbalism, Jewlcrafting, Enchanting, Tailoring. Max secondary skills, too.

Just hit 80 on my death knight about 30 minutes ago. Two 80s now. Two different realms. I will never have my death knight as geared as my warrior though. To much trouble.

Rubiks-Q-Bert · Post by **Rubiks-Q-Bert** » Tue Jul 13, 2010 3:53 am

I have my 3rd 80 now which is a hunter. It's quite a change having always done a melee class until this toon. If anyone ever wants to drop me a line, all my toons are on Alleria now.

Niraki (hunter)
Detrop (warrior)
Nirokino (dk)

I don't play WoW but I do have a battle.net account. I had to have at least one full game in my account so I could download and play Starcraft II... oooh, it ROCKS.

IanAlexavier · Post by **IanAlexavier** » Tue Jul 13, 2010 7:46 am

I was so tempted to get into WOW when it first came out. I knew that if I started, it would consume me..so I chose not to play. I guess I will keep playing my PS3 games, which doesnt have a cost to play online other than the initial cost of the actual game

Wow = stay the f**k away

I allowed two of my kids to play Wow (monitored by me and my wife of course). I didn't see them for about a year.

The only thing I 'pay for' to play is my gold Xbox Live account... too many benefits not to have one.

I see now that Sony/Playstation 3 is starting up a special yearly account for online play and other benefits for the paying online service. No way, will I get that... I do not use my PS3 enough to justify that.

Updated character stats.

In ICC 10/25 with 3 of my 80's. Guild's at 6 out of 12 bosses for that raid.

Transfer to Alleria and roll with me. I do 10/12 minmimum ever week on my warrior and 7/12 on my hunter. Not doing much on my DK even though he's more geared than my hunter.

Detrop (Fury Warrior)

Niraki (Survival Hunter)

Nirokino (Unholy Deathknight)
