    Been playing off and on for 2 years now, so about 18 months of subs...
    Changed my character name recently for €8 or however much it costs...
    Paid a fair whack for for the expansion shortly after it came out (buying directly from Blizz online = rip off!!!)
    Then about €25 for the game itself

    €270+ anyway :(

    Original game cost + plus months since release*fee + Collector's edition TBC.

    I have no idea why I never switched over to a 6month plus subscription or whatever it is you can do.

    I've had this argument with people before...you have to remember that most games are 10-15 hours long (if even that nowadays), and cost €50 odd. Yet Warcraft (for all its failings) costs €12.99 a month for endless content. Even if you only level one single character, and dont bother with end content (i.e. the boring part of the game), its still worth it.

    Indeed... People will pay around a tenner to go to the cinema and sit through he odd bit of tripe for 2 hours, but can't see the logic in paying €13 to play a game for a whole month. It's another form of entertainment!

    Pretty good deal in comparison in my opinion :D
