Dr. V tough break. I was able to get an account, but my download is taking forever.
Nov 11th, 2004 01:16 AM
DamnthatDavid I tried, but the website was down, and they said "We are unable to process any new applicants at this time, the webserver is bugged, blah blah blah, get a jump start and download right now"

so I just started downloading, and left my PC on for 2-3 days.

Dr. V shoulda got an account when you had the chance budday.
Nov 10th, 2004 09:07 PM
DamnthatDavid GOD DAMN YOU BLIZZARD!!! YOU FUCKING SONS OF BITCHES!!!

They closed the account sign up! I FUCKING WAITED AND WAITED for "open" beta, AND THEY WON'T LET ME FUCKING GET IN!!!

I was fucking waiting for half a year before the first closed beta even started way back in December. AND FUCK THEM, THEY FUCKING DIDN'T ACCEPT ME, I was ok with that, I knew open beta was coming. AND THEY FUCKING COCKBLOCKED ME FROM THAT ALSO!

90%

I just love Routers! They definantly don't suck. Well, mine anyway.
People said they got bored of this game after maybe 2 weeks. Why would they?

Dr. V Damn it i'm only 27%. Whenever I walk away i keep getting a message about a tracker and it requires me to press ok and stops downloading. I leave it for 3 hrs and get like 2% done.

ziggytrix I've only ever played DAOC and a free trail of Ragnarok, but I think they are a very delicious kind of crackrock.

Supafly345 I play games to escape reality, with fake people. MMORPGS are for people that need games to get a connection to reality.

MMORPGs never have single player modes, which is why they aren't free to play. They're played on servers hosted and supported by the company, and all that requires a monthly fee to upkeep the servers.

DamnthatDavid 43% done, and I can't gain acess to my damn router to open the correct ports... otherwise, I would be done by now.

God, someone changed the Router password, and no one knows what it is.

Beta is a good way to test the game out. And 15 bucks per month is a bit high... but then if you think about Cell Phone, High Speed Internet, Cable TV, Car Insurence, Gas money... well, then it is pretty low.

You will no longer want to go out friday and saturday nights, so you won't drive us much, won't use as much gas. You will stop hanging out with friends, and soon they will stop calling you.
And your Cell Phone pirces start dropping.
In the long run, it might be cheaper to pay the 15 bucks.
Nov 9th, 2004 02:57 PM
James I'll admit it sounds a bit higher compared to other MMORPGs, but it's not a DRASTIC change. I imagine they need a little more because of how much attention the game is getting. Blizzard doesn't have the same support as games like FFXI and Everquest have, in terms of server maintainence.

Maybe somewhere down the line, after the game has settled in a bit, they may be able to lower the price after a few months.
Nov 9th, 2004 02:25 PM
timrpgland If you have some extra money to spare and alot of time, the fees become a non issue. I pay $40 a month on online rpin.
Nov 9th, 2004 01:18 PM
FS I realize that as an MMORPG player you're paying for service and bandwidth crap, but $12-15 bucks a month sounds over the top. But I was hoping more for $7-10. I'm not sure if there's some kind of comparison possible, but I think you could get a rather sweet deal on shared hosting with a generous chunk of bandwidth for that.

Can't they just bombard you with ads before and after you play?

Someone finally sees the light on the other side

DeadKennedys The cheapest offer, 13 bucks per month, is still outrageous.

And while most people can afford this, if you think about it you're spending 156 dollars on a game per year. Is it really worth it?

I know that fact won't deter most people, but think of what else you could buy with that money. Because one day, you will get tired of playing with it, or the game will slowly die out, and all your money's gone down the drain.

I'd rather spend 50 bucks, no strings attached, on a good game I can come back to 10 years later and know it will be there, just as fun as I remember it.

ziggytrix Open beta is goin on right now (if you can start downloading the client when you read this message, it shold be done in about a day) - you can try it for free.

As far as the fee goes:
Quote:
After the initial free one-month subscription ends, players of World of Warcraft will be able to continue playing under one of three different subscription plans. The month-to-month subscription plan costs $14.99 per month, the three-month plan costs $13.99 per month, and the six-month plan costs $12.99 per month. World of Warcraft subscription fees can be paid by major credit card, PayPal, and pre-paid game cards, which will be available in stores where World of Warcraft is sold. World of Warcraft has received a Teen rating from the ESRB
It's in-line with other MMORPGs, but I really wish they'd gone the Wal-Mart route and undercut all the other guys at like $10/mo, and made up the difference in the number of subscriptions they'd sell.

racialslur Warcraft 1 was actually pretty fun. 2 Was just godlike, and 3 was so-so. Expansion was ...but now THIS BULLSHIT!? FUCK THIS!
Nov 6th, 2004 11:04 AM
AChimp Either they make it free, or I'm not even looking at it.
