The cost of playing World of Warcraft

I mentioned yesterday playing World of Warcraft on Minday evening but I didn’t play last night because I’m working extra hours at my job at the moment and I felt too tired to log in and tackle any more quests. Do you think the WOW universe survived without me?

Anyway I checked into the cost of playing the game and I noticed that if I want to continue playing after the ten day trial (there’s one day left) that I’ll have to go and buy the game and enter the serial code from it. I think the boxed game will have a month’s subscription with it and can probably be picked up for around thirty or forty dollars. That’s probably not too bad assuming it includes a manual and as I say a month of online play.

I looked up the monthly costs and I believe it to be $15 per month but if purchased for three months in advance that it drops down to $13 per month. A six month subscription reduces that to $11per month. These are US dollars and I assume taxes have to be applied depending on where the subscriber lives although I don’t know that for a fact.

But I don’t see myself going that route right now as I really enjoyed the game on Monday evening and I’d certainly recommend it but I reckon I’ll be too tired during the working week to feel like playing as last night proved. So I’ll keep the cash in my pocket for now and consider that I’ve had a close shave with World of Warcraft addiction!

  1. :o You’re giving up already????? :(

  2. It’s not that I’m giving up but my trial is almost up and I’m not sure it’s worth signing up for another (even if I can) if I don’t plan to suscribe at the moment.
