Gamer Plays Over 30 Warcraft Characters

Posted by samzenpus on from the please-go-outside dept.

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."

    If you want to see the visible difference, watch Wargames, specifically the part where David goes to Jim and Malvin for help. Jim is a geek, Malvin is a nerd.
