Blizzard Offers 75% Off World of Warcraft Prices
Are you ready for World of Pandacraft?
With World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria coming next month, Blizzard hopes to reel more players in with a World of Warcraft mega-sale. From now until August 27th, players can purchase the World of Warcraft Battle Chest for $5, Wrath of the Lich King for $5, and Cataclysm for $10 when purchased directly from Blizzard.
With the limited sale, players that are completely new to the World of Warcraft universe will be able to create their own Panda character for a total of $59.99. If you haven't seen it yet, Blizzard also recently released the game's first opening sequence. With Mists of Pandaria coming in as the franchise's fourth expansion, it's no surprise Blizzard is offering these discounted prices.
Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that the game has lost millions of subscribers since its first expansion. Will you be joining in on the pandamonium September 25th? Or are you still anxiously waiting for a Titan announcement?
More importantly, would NEW players get into that old game? Start from scratch AND pay a monthly fee for that?
IDK, just legitimate questions here, because I for one would not even consider doing that. If they made it free-to-play, I might consider it, although given that the game is ancient, I doubt it.
I have to admit, I loved the trailer.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Thank you for the offer, Blizzard, but after your fail with Diablo III, I'll definitely stay with my GODLIKE Guild Wars 2, TO, E.V.E., and upcoming World of Darkness (FUN*K YEAH!) MMO.
Still Blizz will probably pick up more new subscribers with this deal than some MMOs ever get in their lifetime.

WoW is not a bad game in any stretch, but I got bored of not finding a decent guild to play with and have fun. Also, got tired of scripted fights; that's what really turn me down I guess.
Cheers!
A aged and expanded MMO is not welcoming to new comers or late returners. People should just check out the newer ones or ones soon to be released.
Thankfully, Gearbox has created a gem called Borderlands, and Borderlands 2 will come out Sept. 18 (in the U.S.). Gearbox is a company that's still excited about their games; if you've ever heard CEO Randy Pitchford talk about Gearbox games in general and Borderlands 2 specifically, you know what I'm talking about. BLT looks to be better than the original in every way you can imagine - including graphics on the PC. PC players aren't getting just a port this time, they are getting the good stuff that can only be done on a PC.
So, come September I'll be excited, but this time it'll be for a "RP Shooter" called Borderlands 2, not the WoW Xpack and not an MMOG.

Oh, yeah and with (but of course!) PSO II, too. Forgot to add it in the list of GODLIKE MMOs that's out there, even though I play the shit out of it right now...lol. %))
Yeah I'm not ashamed to admit WoW used to be quite incredible during its vanilla and towards the end of TBC. Just pure gold really. The lore was spot on and something every player coming from Warcraft 3 felt connected and had a sense of. The game had soul throughout that same period and then it just stopped losing it when WOTLK hit. It got about 5 million subscribers for what seem to be a blink of an eye. RIP WoW 2004-2008.
I still remember first lines of world's explorers, glitch-abusers, Leeroy, Onyxia, Airport, Naked L1 Dwarfs Protest Fests...good times.
Yes! I tottaly agree with you Bordelands is a pure Gem! I was sick of the MMO style, Bordelands brought the multi-player to a level of pure pleasure! I don't care if 1 or 2 millions people are playing at the same time than me on the same map. However the multi-player on Borderlands, limited to 4 people, per map gave me so much fun!
September 22 (I'm european), I'm waiting for you!
There is a game that deserves to be bought, as the Witcher for example without crapy "online only mod" or real money shit that screw the game!!
Who are we to judge others because they enjoy something? I sure love WoW, used to play it like crazy!
I got tired of playing it though after the fourth 80; or something like that. I can honestly say that I do long to play it again, nostalgia over all the good and bad times; I lived another life in that game.
People love Lady Gaga, but I think she is an ugly woman who looks like a man and sings like a banshee; I don't go around screaming my hatred though.
