Well I tried installing WoW 10 day trail and it said insert disc one, the uberness of the menu screen made me want to buy it, but I remebered it's 15 dollars a month. My parents won't pay that, which saddens me .
So I was wondering how many people acutally pay monthly fees?

I have just gotten it for christmas. I can't play it till then so all I can do is dream . I suggest paying the 6 months for 13.00.

I pay monthly fees but only for WoW.

When you buy the game you get 1 free month to play with, so use that free month during your Christmas vacation.

I don't know if you get that first free month after you pay your month(s) or with registering your new account. During the beginin, I suggest buying 1 month + the free month. Why you should ask? Well, it's not the best economical standpoint, but what if you don't like it? You are going to pay 6 months for a game you only played for 2 weeks because you didn't like?

i used to for a different game..but then i just stopped playing it so i stoped paying.

Against monthly fees. What's the point of having to pay to play a game when you can buy lots more.

agreed. why should we..i mean we buy the same..then have to PAY to play it monthly..wth is that? honestly thats beyond rip off..thats the reason i play SC, online = FREE!

I'm against monthly fees. All online gaming should be free. Which is why I don't play MMORPGs (except for Guild Wars, which I am considering buying. No monthly fees. )

I think they should either not charge us to play online or give us the game for free and charge to play it online.

I'm only paying for World of Warcraft. I convinced my mom to pay the first six months, but now I'm buying game cards at the shop for "my own" money (the money my mom sends with me when I'm going on school in the town next to where I live , about 60% was my own last time i did it though).

I am against monthly fees,why should anyone waste his money paying for playing a game when he can buy more games(or something important) with his money?

You cant be against it... you can only be against it if they dont DO anything to improve the game.. WoW i would pay for because it adds in events and is Constantly Upgrading the game... I cant vote because there is now option that I want... Im with them but only games That Are WORTH geting...

They (supposedly) update SC, and we don't have to pay any monthly fees.

Mmm.. Im against paying monthly fees and stuff, but then again, if your not paying fees or anything, how goods the game you would pay for? It all really depends. But in the long run, im against it yep.

Seriously.
SC gets a lot of new patches, Guild Wars gets new patches, they don't have Monthly fees, other games like City of Heros and WoW do. Why? Oh wow a few new quests that's totatally worth adding an extra 15 dollars! When you think about it you buy the game again every 3rd payment. That's such a waste.

They add new quests... And update with new monsters and everything... sc jsut has bug fixes... nothing new thats the difference...

Actually, the last few patches did add new things. Like minimap pings. And like Golden said, what about Guild Wars?

and Final Fantasy 12..like wtf your basically buying it over and over every 3 months...and 1 new quest and a new monster isnt worth 15 dollars..i mean, id make them pay me to add that shiz if i really cared that much.

Fixed :/

Oh hold the phone everyone, they make new quests which are exactly like already made quests with different names and replacing "Goblins" with "Dark Eleves". That's totally worth 15$ right there!
Do you see my point?
Guild Wars (as far as I know) doesn't add new quests but even so, CIty of Heros doesn't add new quests either, however Guild Wars is free when CoH is not. The only differene in gameplay between the two is that when you go into enemy areas you can see anyone in CoH and in Guild Wars it's only you and your party. That's not a 15$ difference.

I quit playing WoW. It got boring because of the lag even on my super duper amazing computer.

So I'm planning to buy Neverwinter Nights. You don't pay per month/year/etc.

They earn money for the game through expansion packs. Im buying the Diamond version which includes 4 expansion packs in one.

I am against....What is the point of buying the game only to have to pay more money? I mean like World Of Warcraft was $49.99 and you had to pay about $15 a month...I mean come on!

SC doesn't get patches and it never has. All that SC has recieved are Bug Fixes, Balance Fixes and in 1.10 it recieved that fancy Mini-Map ping, Friends list thing and Map-Preview which probably took about 2 days to code.

Those $15 you pay for WoW is for your monthly patch. Each patch is basically an expansion. On average, you get 1 full instance(dungeon) per patch, a World Event, many new quests. Patch 1.9 added 2 instances, a new 40 man instance, which is currently the biggest in the game and a smaller 20-man instance which is nothing short of the biggest in it's class. In WoW you don't get monthly patches, you get monthly expansions. And for those asking, the WoW Expansion, "WoW: The Burning Crusade" is said to double it's playing areas.

Does Guild Wars get such patches?

do you really need all that? for 15$ a month think about it, how much did you pay for the actual game? 60$? every 4 months you pay them for another WoW game. dude for 15$ a month i could get drunk for 3 out of 4 fridays in that month..now that rite there is way more worth it then paying for a vidio game i ALREADY bought.

That's basically what a patch is.


Oh wow, a new dungeon! You know I still haven't finished playing the other 40 hours of content which I payed 50$ for, I rather play that then have some crappy dungeon every other month (Which gets to be fixed up later on, JOY!). And still, you're basically paying for another game, if we wanted another game, we'd buy one! By buying a game with Monthly fees your basically buying 4 games, why? I'm perfectly content with the game I intended to buy. If they're "like" expansions then what's the point making patches if they could be making expansions, with new races, and new quests, and new dugeons. It'd be cheaper, but they just like ripping people off or taking rich people's money.


No but there's nothing wrong with the game either, if they're so many glitches in WoW that you acutally need to pay for a broken game, and pay more to fix it up. What's the point buying it at all.

What I do is take one of the patches and think, would I buy this as a seperate expansion pack? I'm not willing to spend $15 to get an extra dungeon, therefore, I don't think it's worth paying monthly fees.

My brother pays the monthly fees for WoW, but I play on his account (not his character, his ACCOUNT). I voted for the "only WoW" one, but I'm not sure it applies to me since I don't actually pay for it.
