Get the multiple month card things and it equals out to 10 bucks a month. And you can "suspend" your account till a later day if you wanna take a break and still keep your time.RedMenace said:
More or less this. There are some annoying problems, and I wish they'd stop lowering the minimum level for mounts (In my day we had to grind 100 gold at level fourty and we liked it! Or rather we didn't, but we just want other people to suffer too) but all in all I enjoy playing it, while I do wish it were cheaper, as I'm skint, I'm not complaining too much.apsham said:
In my area, the monthly fee wouldn't even get me a movie, popcorn, and a drink at the local movie theater, so I've got no problem with it. It's all context I guess.
Id lower the price to $10 a month and also open up the game to more options for people who want to solo more. Still leave the group and raiding quests for people who like it, just make the same content available for the more often than not solo player like myself. Change the drops or something so the MMO purists don't get their panties in a twist.
To have to pay for a game to keep playing it I feel is just embarassing especially a game that came out in 2004. As a gamer it makes me feel like blizzard just sees me as a walking, talking wallet.
The cheaper the better really, i mean when is getting something a little cheaper not a good thing? Though $15 a month i think is fair and pretty standard as far as "higher end" MMO's go.
To some people of course it's not worth it, but really it doesn't matter because i really don't see Bliz dropping the price anytime soon. They should however as a sign of good faith release a FREE expansion pack for once. It's only polite.

I don't really understand the position that WoW is too expensive.
To do well at the game, you need to play so much that the price per hour which results from the subscription is totally negligible. If you play 10 hours a week (which isn't even much by MMO standards, I believe), you end up paying roughly 30 cents an hour. Just how is that too much for entertainment?
The other position which makes sense (and which I personally subscribe to) is that the game isn't worth the time. If Blizzard paid me 30 cents an hour, I still would not play.

I find it a bit high; if I had more disposable income and time I might resubscribe. Yet, I think the amount of content and updating they do is decent justification.
But, consider that eHarmony is more expensive, and that is mainly just a databasing system with ongoing running processes with little updating and development (though there is their advice site to maintain, not sure if the writers get paid for that, though some of them write articles to plug books).

i think it is a bit overpriced, but its low enough to the point that people still buy it so i think from their end its just right
