Should I get World of Warcraft??

That's odd though. I have no credit card, but my normal debit card can be used to make VISA payments. I've used it for City of Heroes for instance, straight to an American company.

Yeah...okay. I know what you mean now. We have those in Denmark too. But my bank (which BTW is the largest bank in Denmark) doesn't offer that option

Oh well...guess I'll just have to splash for the pre-paid card too.

That is quite annoying since you might hate it on the free month. Are you sure there is no other option?

This has been an issue that's be complained about since the initial release.

I played about 2 weeks and just cancelled my subscription. The game is mighty repetitive.

I may cancel my subscription when my month is up. We'll see.

I don't like how there is no risk to anything in the game. You die and nothing bad happens except having to either run to your corpse, or take a temporary stat hit. You should at least be partly lootable.

If it bothers you destroy your best bit of equipment when you die.

That's one reason it works. The game would totally suck if you die and can be looted...you have no idea how often you die in the PvP game.

I don't know... Diablo 2 was just as pointless, or even more so. But Diablo 2 is more fun. . Maybe I'll re-install the game.

[Dis]

well anyways, I'm going to start a new character. This one will be a shaman. we'll see how I like that character.

Thing is Diss, it's acknowledged that the game kicks in around level 20 or so. If you keep going over the same (or similar if you switch sides etc) early ground you might get more bored. Find something you like and stick with it.

None that I can think of. But I'll go for it anyway, since I have researched this game to death now, and just want to go ahead and play it.

It annoys me that Blizzard have done it this way, but I badly want to play this game now, so if it has to be that way, then so be it.

They probably thought that too.

Hehe, in all seriousness the gamecards are much bigger in America than Europe I think, so it seems more normal to use them I guess.

In shadowbane you could loot everything that wasn't equiped. Worked pretty well.

I've played MMORPG's where you can die and be looted (Ultima Online). Once you take that away the game is so easy. It also makes PVP rather dumb because no matter how many times you kill someone they can just keep coming back fully equiped.

That is probably the main reason why I quit. What's the point of doing the level grind to PVP when there is no reward for PVP?

To make it this way, you'd have to make some changes of course, like making non-magical items much cheaper so it doesn't take a week to get back enough items to compete.
