World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
 

I've never played World of Warcraft...

Do I need to pay for a membership if I buy this game to be able to play World of Warcraft: Cataclysm?

Yes - there is no stand-alone single player mode

(all prices subject to fluctuation / area of purchase)

the new expansion is $39.99, but you have to buy three previous editions: Vanilla for $19.99, TBC for $29.99, and WotLK for $39.99. Or if you buy these four editions in a bundle, it will be $99.99.

Then 15$ per month - a little cheaper if you pre-pay 3 or 6 months

hope you have a lot of free time - I gave it up

My wife recently purchased this...........I have not seen her since LOL

I have not played since I hit lvl 60 in early 2005.. I'm sure its like a different game now with all those expansions.. very tempting

oh this sounds like bad news... :D $100 to start then 15 bucks a month? I'm allright...

Ahahahahahahahahahaha!

not such a bad thing at times

There is a 15 day free trial, you can download the full game and play the trial from the www.worldofwarcraft.com site. Also, I believe they have cut the price on all the previous expansions and the original game. Thought I saw something like 30 bucks for the whole bundle.

i stopped playing a few months back
im afraid to login and have to redo my whole tree
i was a fury warrior and i know i got a ton im goign to have to relearn ;/

Check out Dungeons&Dragons Online. Similar in play and style. I found it much nicer than WoW and a more mature crowd to run with. Plus you can come at it when you want it being FREE to PLAY.

You have too seen me :P Its been the back of my head but you still have seen me.

i'm level 83 already

/flex

I think they have a sale where all the previous expansions are only $5, but even then... Don't start again, you'll get re-sucked in and fail at life. I played WoW since it first came out, then quit like a year ago. Best decision I've ever made, haha.

Arghhh I'm in desperate need of a game to play and WoW sucks me in WAY less than ffxi or presumably ffxiv(haven't played it yet).

Online games eat days/weeks/years you'll probably never see her again.

It is hard to believe the massive number of people playing again as there are just a crazy number of people online now where as a few weeks ago the place looked like a ghost town, but yes it is very time consuming and something I don?t suggest unless you have a lot of free time.

First hit is always free.

I've never known a pusher to give anything away for free, first or otherwise.

This looks cool, free like quake live too. Nice, thanks! :thumbsup

I appreciate your offer. If I do decide to spend time on it I'll hit you up. Thank you.

mah god, you guys make it sound like it's crack cocaine!

no seriously, its very addictive

yes the previous expansions i heard are 30 bucks now, and near the same for the new expansion. So its not as much as before and yes it can be addicting. I have not logged in for more than 6 months.

Can I just buy the first one and play that for a while? Or I need the latest version/expansion pack to participate?

bit of topic but do you work for sextoys.co.uk?

omfg

my childhood was spent on D&D

no games for me ;)

Yes, you play that until you max level and then can get the next pack and level again until your up to the newest one.

Talking like a true dedicated WoW player. hehe..

Nope. Must be thinking of someone else.

I used to be addicted to it before Cataclysm came out, like seriously 6 - 8 hours a day outside my full time job!!

I stopped for about 8 months and have picked it back up but I am not so addicted, played Cataclysm for about 3 hours since getting it on launch date almost a week ago.

no time for games ... :(

EVE Online

Note: It's not for everyone and the "kiddies" usually don't make it past the tutorial zone.

I got to 80 right as Cata came out.. which, I could enjoy for about five minutes before knowing there are five more levels now.

yeah they did. I think still around. 30$ for the first 3.. original, burning crusade, and lich king. Cata is best to shop around for. Some have them on special for 39.99 other sell them for 40..45. SO best to shop around for it

Played it the day after it came out. And I kept seeing [Realm First} for all professions and races of people getting to 85 less then 24hrs after the release. Plus was lag hell so left it for a couple days
