I want to play World of Warcraft

[ANON86364]

I want to start playing WoW. But I have a few stupid questions. How much is the subscription fee? What is the latest expansion pack? I do you start out with the latest?

[RDX1]

The game is about $15 a month, newest expansion pack is Burning Crusade. Even with the pack, you can't access the content until you are level 60.

I've been WoW free for about a year. :D

[NotChetHanks]

Don't start playing, you will only throw away valuable time.

[ANON86364]

The thing is, I am becoming desperate for a REALLY good RPG. Until recently I've been very into strategy games such as Medeival II and FPSs like FEAR. But I don't there are going to be any excellent RPGs for single player.

What is the Wrath of the Lich King? Is that yet to be released?

I've been WoW free for about a year. :D

Congratulations :) Me too.

So why are people glad to be free of WoW?

[virtualmadden]

I'd recommend just buying the Battlechest and using the free month that comes w/ the game. That way you're only down $40 if you don't like it and you have the addon if you do. I'm at about the 1 month mark and want to make it 70 at least.

Play on private servers. You'll level up so fast that you'll get bore soon and won't want to play anymore.

*stands up* Hello my name is Littleneutrino and i have been WoW free for almost 1 year. *sits back down*

I tried the trial and if I had the money I would have kept playing, but judging by your responses, I am guessing it was a good thing I didn't have the money :laugh:.

That's a good idea.

Zelda for the PC?

Ah...I remember the good old days playing Zelda: The Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo64.

$15 per month isn't that bad. Its like having Burger King combo twice a month.

I have been playing for a year now (u can tell from my avatar :D), I wont quit anytime soon lol

Is Wrath of the Lich King an upcoming expansion pack? What happens when you choose your character, but then a expansion pack comes out with a new race/class you want to be?

You can sign up for a free 10-day trial here rather than spending money and find out that you don't like it.

Wrath of the Lich King is not released yet and it wont have new classes or races. Burning Crusade did have 2 new races which many players started playing them.

So, nothing happens. u can keep playing the older race or start a new one. Note that the classes (where the variety in gameplay comes in) among the races remain the same..

Actually Wrath of the Lich King will have a new class called the "Dark Knight" or something similar but that class will start at high level and requires u to have a high level character in the first place.

RDX1 summed it up pretty well.

The BC Xpac contains content for level 58+ characters (as well as the Draenei and Blood Elf starting zone).

The real game starts at 70.

oh yeah :yes:

[bibutteryboy]

there are free alternatives to wow that you can play

abulfares is right for the most part. WotLK is still in the works and no release date has been set.

WotLK will not introduce new races, but it will introduce the Death Knight class.

As for your question, What happens when you choose your character, but then a expansion pack comes out with a new race/class you want to be?, if you wish to start a new character you can. Nothing happens to your 'original' character, and your new character starts at level 1 (with the special exception of the Death Knight).

Ok...And those are...

Right now I am obtaining Fable, is that worth it?

[abulfares]

the free alternatives are not as "good". He is looking for a good game.

i am also interested in playing WoW.

i previously played guild wars when it first came out. specially for the reason of no "subscription fee" and also because of the PVP.

i wanted to ask before deciding to buy and play wow, about the PVP.

i hate PvE and i hate the idea of spending relentless hours doing stupid quests.

whats happens with WoW and pvp. how does the game play out with pvp and wow.

because in guildwars when you play PVP u go straight into fighting other parties or guild vs guild or random party fights.

if someone could elaborate more please of the PVP side of wow, when you first begin etc.

ps: otherwise i might just wait for warhammer online

1: wow rocks (been playing since it came outwith only a 4 month break ending about 4 months ago)

2: get the battle chest, as stated, it has the expansion and a free month.

3: The expansion DOES have content for starters, aka the draeni and blood elf races, and their respective starting zones.

4: Wrath of the Lich King has no release date yet, though it is expected by christmas of this year. Still a long time away

5: It's not that expensive a subscription fee, considering a lot of people make it in an hour or less, it's pretty darn good for a month of playing

6: If you want the game for pvp, join a pvp server, fi you like roleplaying, join a roleplaying server, if you like pve, then join a pve server. You can of course still do battlegrounds which are pvp events in the pve game

7: Blizzard screws up, quite a bit actually, but a lot of it is over-hyped, a lot of people just like to complain about anything they can.

8: there's new content all the time, and it's been a thrill seeing all the changes come to pass over the years
