"Blizzard Entertainment has announced that its enormously popular online role-playing game World of Warcraft will be free to play for characters up to level 20. WoW has always offered free trials of one of the world's biggest multi-player online games but previous offers have always been limited to a set number of days. The new policy means that first-time visitors to Azeroth will be able to build an unlimited number of characters and classes up to level 20 at their leisure, although there will be some limitations."

This sounds to me like an attempt by Blizzard to get everyone hooked onto the game

That's a good comparison, its not the first time I've seen it used, but I've seen some WoW game play and I didn't have any excitement in it.
I easily get frustrated when I don't have my computer time

I'd be better off and everyone would be better off without WoW or maybe Minecraft too :lol:

or just any game in general.
Anyway, they're doing all this for money

People can be so greedy.

I am not even gonna try it.
They won't get my money even if I get hooked onto the game.

Got better areas to spend on

Although that seems a bit too offensive on a gaming forum Posted Image

I'm not going to get rehooked. The reason why they did this: people prefer different games these days.. Minecraft, Runescape (even runescape is shit now)

I used to play Runescape. Currently, the only PC game I play is PokerTH, and occasionally VegaStrike.

Oh, and rarely TF2.

was listening to down the scope today, they mentioned wow and the time it takes for raids, they said some can take 5 hours just getting ppl there xD. I think ill avoid wow alot more.

Only game im playing atm is war inc, wouldnt really say playing. More of exploiting the game engine for bugs, today i got out the latest map
