Gamer Plays Over 30 Warcraft Characters
If your significant other complains that you play too much World of Warcraft, just show them this article about a user named "Prepared." He plays an amazing 36 World of Warcraft accounts on 11 different computers at the same time. He is his own raid group. "It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule," he writes. "Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft."
He's the biggest nerd in the world

that he managed to get all that hardware into his parent's basement.
it is only after a long journey that you know the strength of the horse.
What is this "wife" thingy you're referring to? A cool interface addon maybe! I'll go google it!

ACORN paid him $1 apiece to register his characters to vote.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Female elves don't count as wives.

It was an alright add on, but after 2.0 was released, it broke and had all these nagging error messages and no ones bothered to maintain it since.
On the Oregon Cost born and raised, On the beach is where I spent most of my days
I wonder if that air conditioner unit high on the side wall is enough to cool that room?
Doesn't he realize he can virtualize his 36 accounts and 11 computers into a single WoWoW account.
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
`nuff said.
It's funny because I was just talking to a friend about a 'hobby' I and some friends do and he was floored at the cost. Got me thinking it might be time to find a new, cheaper hobby lol...
By 'hobby' I assume you mean hookers. Hookers are a hobby now? Fuck stamp collecting, I'm doing that!
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
After checking it out, I must agree that it went on a downward spiral - the first year of releases was mostly fun (the internals were especially good!), then it all went to hell, as it's lua scripts started to over-check the db files for visual flaws, making the whole process sluggish. The 0.2.0 version (which was released two years after the first one) started showing all these nag-screens about your fishing/cooking/first-aid skills not being used at all (who the hell has time for that?). The interface got really cluttered around 0.4.2, and also the developers decided on a god-awful bright yellow design for it - you just couldn't look at it anymore without losing your eyeballs. I held myself tough for the 0.5.3 "Middle release", but after that, i just couldn't go on. I admit, i miss the entertainment features of this addon, but i simply will not tolerate all this trouble. I tried deinstalling it, but - for some unfathomed reason - it decided to take half of the other addons with it. My whole Gatherer database was split in half because of that stupid addon!
