1156001 2010-11-24 01:36:00 Not sure if anyone has ever considered playing the game or is playing, but currently Blizzard have a rather good deal on.

World of Warcraft at $5
The Burning Crusade at $5
Wrath of the Lich King at $10

In US dollars, but its still very very cheap. The new expansion would set you back a bit more however, but if you were ever interested but the price put you off, well there is something to consider :)

More info about it here (wow.joystiq.com).

Oh and if you do decide to give it a shot, let me know and we can use the Recruit a Friend feature which gives both parties a few nice bonuses :)

1156002 2010-11-24 02:43:00 I tried it once ... Not quite my cup of tea. LOTRO on the other hand, both Free-to-Play AND based on Lord of the Rings, got me hooked! Chilling_Silence (9)
1156003 2010-11-24 02:44:00 Let's see, one-off $5 cost for the game, vs. $15/mo (IIRC) to play the game... something tells me that they can afford it... ubergeek85 (131)

$5 would only get you vanilla WoW which to be honest isn't much. No raiding (very few people raid classic content), and battlegrounds/arenas dominated by twink toons.

The very low fees is Blizzard's (or Activision, oh how I hate you) way of enabling people to buy the new expansion pack and not fork out big money to get the pr-requisites.

The $15/month can be reduced a fair bit by buying larger quantities of game time at once (say 6 months at a time).
I have no problem with paying for it either, every few months they release new content which is basically like a small expansion pack. Each major expansion pack has huge changes - new level cap, races, classes, spells, etc etc and the patches they release throughout the year include new raids, new gear, new bosses.
