World of Warcraft Launches
The last major MMOG launch of the year hits retail stores today. World of Warcraft finally goes live after years of debate, development, and a more than six month Beta test. The usual suspects have details on the game, with Gamespot already having details on upcoming content and Gamespy laying out personal experiences from the test and interviews with the developers.
didn't I call in sick today?

It's sitting at home installed, and I'm sitting here at work

Countless hours?
/3 hours of playing = 5 dollars an hour, which is the going rate your mom charges.
I can count them easily. In a given 30 day month, I'll probably get about 3 hours to sit and play games.
15 bucks a month
So, you're right. WoW is really cheap, as cheap as your mom.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
The speed of the vitriol about the cost of online games was truly amazing! We got some speed typists here.
It's a religious debate as to whether or not it's worth it, so I won't weigh in. I'm just amazed that there were people hovering over their keyboards with "OMG I can't believe that anyone would pay $15 a month for something like this more like $0.15 twice a year is what I would pay!" in the paste buffer.

Rock and stick is too hard to manage. You have to keep track of the rock, but now where's the stick, and believe me after a short while it gets very confusing very quickly. These days, I prefer just stick.
It's hard to take you seriously when you complain about using "U" as a pronoun, etc. when you use the term "asshat".

Typical MMMORPG player - always blaming macros for the superior skill of others.
j/k.
But, to be fair and balanced, a good quality basketball, football, or baseball setup can run you a 1 time $80 bucks and factoring that over a 2 year period throwing the old pig skin, playing softball, or doing a little boot hockey can be a hella cheaper then a video game.
Are you suggesting that we have to go.... outside?
Ick.
You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.

For $7.95 you've got a server that is often filled and maybe you have to name your characters after products.
It's sick fucks like you that keep me coming back to slash dot. Product placement in MMORPGs!

Aren't they already doing this in the SIM games?
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
