Blizzard Tries To Give Me Free WoW

[Peanutbutter]

So I'm installing it now. Apparently its only the vanilla game, no expansions, which I find a bit surprising they're even still supporting its realms/servers. I guess we'll really see what its all about once its fully downloaded.

Vanilla runs on the same servers as the expacs. You just don't have access to the content.


Also, the changes that were made to the old world in Cataclysm also apply to the vanilla version.

I used to play WoW ( Started in BC, took a break in the middle of WOTLK, and came back for Cata ).

Imo, it's a waste of time. I feel like you have to invest huge amount of time into the game, for it to be a " fun and worthwhile " experience. Spending alot of time grinding materials for various professions, grinding linear dungeons. And more often than not, it's just a plain frustrating experience, with twelve year old morons ruining it all.

I really dislike the fact, that in WoW, you actually have to do alot of things you really hate doing, to be able to do the more fun stuff that comes with the game. Not only that, but you also have to commit to various things, such as specific raid schedules and what not, if you want to be in a more " serious " guild. It became too much for me ( and i wasn't even in a serious guild ), when i started to say no to hanging out with friends, telling them that i needed to raid this night.
Not worth it.

Also, regarding your bitching about SC2 on the bnet forums, i hope you didn't whine much about the multiplayer?

Thank you for the clarification.

That was actually a joke lol. If you actually read the picture I posted, I got the invite because I participated in the SC2 beta. I have never, and will never, post in the cesspool known as "The Official Battle.Net Forums."

Gearv0sh as SC2Armory said everyone who bought SC2 is getting free WoW. That does hold some weight considering he works at Blizzard, but we'll see.

Even if they only do buyers from Day 1, that's several million copies. I'll wait and see.
I really hope they don't send me one though, every time I get out, they pull me back in...

So I've been playing WoW for 15 minutes now.

How could anyone enjoy this crap? Waste of my harddrive space.

What?! I bought the battle chest when it was on special for 10$ everywhere during boxing day. That's bull, I lost 10$!

Anyways, I don't find WoW addictive. It's fun if you can play with real life friends but other than that, it gets pretty boring. Better use your gaming time on something else.

Uh, not that I'm supporting WoW or anything but this is coming from the same person who thinks SC2 is junk. Just saying, broseph...
