for those oddball days when i get the urge to log in and just goof around, I wish they had the option to maybe pay like, 1 dollar for 24 hours worth of play time.
I could deal with that. Just so long it wasn't a recurring $1/day sub, i'd be cool with paying here and there for the option to log in and do stuff.

seems beter to just pay 15 for a month of time really. they couldn't afford to make it too cheap and $15 for a month is about $0.50 a day.

Move to china, that's how it works for them, and that's how blizzard claims such inflated numbers as "subscriptions"

If the deciding factor is the difference between $5 and $15 dollar you would be off finding a job then playing a game.

But with that extra $10 you could buy two, maybe even three, bottles of Mad Dog!

You can get a subscription to netflix for $8 so you have something to do while you wait in the queue

Korea, Taiwan, and China region all offered time based subscription.

China region is the cheapest, at at about $4 per 4000 mins (66 hours) of play time.

that's pretty good actually. I mean, it's not the cost per se, i just do not think that WoW (in it's current iteration) is actually worth fifteen dollars a month.

china != everyone for income or business models.

If $16/mo is too much for you to handle you should probably be more focused on your education or employment, because that is such a trivial amount of money compared to the rest of life's costs that it's not even worth mentioning.

Even if you only play a few times a month it's still dirt cheap entertainment per dollar.

If you want to see the game improve, stop doing that (#*$ grin


Seriously, at this point, the only way to see Ghostidiot fired and positive changes made is to stop paying blizzard money wink

to all the asshats telling him to get a better job because of $15 // month

There is a huge difference between not being able to afford $15
and wanting to pay $15

I can afford "a lot" of things, but if i feel the price isn't what I want to pay, I don't.
It in no way means I need a better job. lol


I to, would be interested in a payment plan for WoW that was maybe a few bucks for a weekend, but I wouldn't play enough to justify subbing for a month. It isn't that I can't afford to spend $15, it's just that it would be wasted, because I wouldn't use the subscription.

If you think about it, we (aon and I) are talking about paying an inflated price, for a smaller time allotment.

24 hour pass or a rate for X number of hours, would be EXCELLENT.

But I think Blizzard would lose more than it would win.

Casual people will very fast make the calcuation and deduce well, If I only log in for 4 hours in the week....better to change to a "pay and play" system, rather than a monthly sub.


I know why I cancelled -> xpac is not that good.5 levels was a mistake....it should be 10 minimum. Blizzard missed the boat on some real innovation or even "keeping up" with the idea of dynamic content, player "events", public quests, etc...this "Phasing" technology -> worst idea ever (started off great, but when the zones are soooo heavily phased, content is so linear that there is no real "exploration" of the world

account has to be inactive for 3 months (90 days) for those to work




I'd be all for paying 1 dollar to log in for a day if i ever got an itch just so i could log in and say "yep not worth it"

i jumped on guild vent and was surprised to learn that the guild I (was/am) in hit 25 or 26 (i forget the exact number) but aside from that, nothing much has really changed since i last logged in.

on those rare days when i have a large block of time to play, i'd be totally down with this system, just to goof off.

sort of like firing up the xbox360 or whatever just to play an hour of madden, you know?
