The cost seems a lot less daunting if you've been playing it since the release, but I suppose it is incredibly expensive. I've probably spent a large fortune on this game. I don't even want to know. I won't be able to sleep at night. (about 8 months worth every year for 5 years, plus both expansions)
I have played for four and a half years, if you break that down I have payed 880$ including pre ordering cataclysm...
Doesn't matter though, 15 a month isn't killer, I buy 3 games a month (give or take), I pay 30 dollars in MMOs (I play with friends)
Whatever, if anyone begins can I refer you? :D
I will fly you around azeroth in the rocket I would get ;D
