Can a returning player get Catacysm for less than $100?
|
I was thinking of coming back to try some of the new stuff, but after looking around for pricing realize that I may have to pay $105 (plus shipping) to get into Cataclysm. And yes, I lost all my boxes with the original game because I didnt think I would ever come back.
Wow: $11
BC: $24
WotLK: $30
Cataclysm: $40
Total: $105 - These prices are from a popular online retailer.
Why cant Blizzard just release a "full" Cataclysm for $10 more or something? Or am I missing something?

Activision is pretty well known for being greedy, but you can hold out hope for a battlechest of some kind.

Thanks, I just put in a request for support to battle.net.
I stopped playing some time in 2006, & I cant remember my old login info. Hopefully they can find it.

Unless you had multiple lvl 60's and mountains (today would be a small bulge) of gold, you're essentially in the same spot starting from scratch or recovering your old account.

Except that you don't have to re-buy the game content.

Its almost a given that if your account has been "inactive" for that long then someone at Blizzard has sold it to gypsy Chinese gold pharmers already.

Oh yeah, I don't mind starting again from level 1. It actually may be a lot of fun post-Cataclysm with the revised low level content.
I just don't want to pay for WoW & BC if possible.
It also seems like $40 + $15/month should be enough money for anyone to play the game, but maybe I'm not being a good Capitalist.

Actually this is true. When I reopned my account they had to search for it because I didn't have a battle.net account when I quit and I couldn't remember my password or what I needed to do to set it up. Gave them my old user name, my CD keys and about a million other questions to verify I was who I said I was...
"And.. what is your WoTLK CD key?"
"..I never purchased Wrath."
"..uh..you..well..its on your account."
"I'm telling you I never purchased wrath.."
"Ok well you've got a free copy of Wrath of the Lich King on your account then.. if you log in and characters and things are not in the same place you left them you can let us know and we'll do our best to restore your account to what it was.."
