Why not to play WoW:


- There are intellectual and artistic pursuits which are more rewarding in the long run.

- The money adds up after a while.

- If you stop paying, you stop playing.

- If you stop playing, you fall behind your friends.

- Zanzibar doesn\'t play it.

When I want to eat I buy food.
When I wanna drive I buy gas.
When I wanna surf the web I pay for internet.

When I wanna play an MMORPG I pay for it.

Unlike the PS devs, the WoW developers don\'t have other jobs.  This is their job so it\'s not crazy or underhanded for them to charge to play it.

It\'s a great game.  And worth the money.  Which is like $15 a month.  I\'m a college student with no job, eating Ramen and frozen meals an I still pay to play the game.  It\'s not a lot of money.

And they ensure that they keep their jobs by dissallowing independant and free servers.

Exactly.  There\'s nothing wrong with that.  If they did allow it they would lose money, and people there would lose their jobs.

and the people kind of spend money and work and effort to keep it running and make it in the first place, so why shouldnt they charge for it.

Well, in any business I question whether the guys doing the work are the same people seeing the money, especially when it comes to computer programers and systems managers.

Meh, it is not worth the money in my HIGH opinion.  I played both that and guild wars.

Guild Wars is cheaper and slightly worse, it bores me.

WoW...not that good in the end...better than galaxies...I tried that out...blah

Instead of wasting your nerves and time replying in such a manner, when you know that it will achieve absolutely nothing, report the post (as you and several others have done) and hang back :)

You should acually hide the head unless you live in a Kingdom atop the clouds.

Mmh... I would play wow if:

I could be bothered to get it to run in linux.

I could afford it (I currently own a whopping ?3.30)

I thought I would get value for money (I wouldn\'t play it enough for it to be worth it)

It would actually like my graphics card and not fry my CPU (which pretty much every game does)

and if I hadn\'t vowed to myself never to use anything other than open source software.

Yeh. But it looks like a cool game. Maybe sometime when I come into a bit of money I might buy it...

Actually Xalthar, Drey, and I have started on the Defias Brotherhood server recently... none of us are above lvl 15 yet.... so if you wanna play with some ps people the Defias server is go o/

also if we get another 7 people we could make a guild or something.
