[The Take Out Bandit]

Like a good pusher, my boss loaned me his copy of WoW with the 10 Day Crack Guest Pass.

Well now I'm f2ckin' hooked. >:|

My question is this, can I continue playing by purchasing subscription cards from a game shop, or do I have to buy my own copy of the game?

A co-worker claims I can do so without my own copy of the game, but then again - he lives breathes, eats, and poops computer data. So it's kind of hard to filter out the stuff that isn't nonsense.

God damn you Blizzard! >:|

This game is pretty swell, but my tight finances; and questioning of why I get charged full retail price for something I have to pay a regular usage fee for are taxing my morals.

You have to buy a copy

unless they changed it recently, and I don't believe they have

God damn that phone/cable/gas/power company charging me a monthly fee on top of rent!

When the trial is up you will have to have a valid cdkey to register the account. The trial cdkey will not work.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Oh well, that's for the best then. Trying to ween myself off of games to dedicate more time to (TOP SECRET) uhh. . . stuff.

This is easily the most fun I've had on-line since PSO. I'll totally skip over the genital mutilating rubbish that was playing Socom 2. Hey - would have been fine if the aiming mechanism didn't suck. Yeah, KB&M bitchazzz!

Finest GAF logic™!

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people.

Speaking of which, my tolerance for Quests has dropped off the scale.

Find Sharptusk and kill him!

Okay simple enough.

/me runs around the f2cking map for two days. . .

EFF THIS!

/me abandons stupid quest.

I gain more XP and loot just randomly beating up monsters. I have no clue where this bitcher is, and it's not like the game is giving me any hints. Hey, Red Mesa - I've combed every inch of this dumb. Let Sharptusk die of old age. I've got winged hos to beat up.

 

[Mayor McCheese]

Thottbot will solve all of your questing problems. I actually dedicated an entire computer for my thottbot needs so I wouldn't have to alt-tab to it.

If your current monthly entertainment expenditure is 0$, WoW will bump it up to 15$ a month.

If its currently 100$, you'll save 85$ a month.

 

[MrAngryFace]

I quit wow, saving 15 a month. I wont lie, it WAS fun.

I have to disagree, there are some colossally stupid questions out there.

uhhh.....it's supposed to be a joke. It's a Mr. Garrison quote from South Park.

But thanks for playing.

In three, or four days, he'll be no more.

Mmmm. . . hamburgers.

Actually, that's probably my favorite thing about WoW. I've quit 3 or 4 times now, usually just for a month or so because I was too busy to play. But then I just put a subscription back on my account and I'm playing the same character again. Someone told me they won't delete your stuff as long as you don't actually completely delete your account, I'm not sure about that though.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Yeah, that is nice; but conversely it sucks because unless you have some special circumstances your character is stuck on a particular server. At least that's the understanding I have from the rules.

I'd prefer being able to use *my* character on any server. :/

Still it's a minor gripe because the game is crack.

I might come off as an elitist prick, but if you're having trouble solving quests at lvl 7 (where they explicitly tell you "go to the rocks in the east and kill X there") and naming your tauren with a cow joke (ooooh, you're so witty, I swear I haven't seen a million of those), you might just as well quit it already. Or try something as complex as asking one of the million other tauren starting at the same time as you - one or two are bound to have done the quest before.

I repeat, WoW is not Counterstrike. Some thinking required. Thinking aids not included. Memory aids availability subject to availability of Thottbot/Allkhazam.

Oh, and if you want to honor other servers with the presence of Beefpugilist, nothing is stopping you from making a character with the same name there.

elitist prick? no. Douchebag? Ding ding ding!

There's actually a Gnome named Douchebag on Dark Iron

Have they ripped out ALL chatting from the demo version? If they haven't yet, they've announced they're going to. Sounds like just a reason for this exact same thing to happen--if you can't solve it yourself with just running around like a chicken with your head cut off, then you can't ask for help either....

lame.

Aside: I got my mount last night! I can now quit the game for another 4 months in peace!
