The ones that get you to pay above and beyond the monthly fee are just plain genius. However, to the true MMO players there is absolutely no denying the price/payoff ratio. The money is clearly worth the time you play... provided that's always enjoyable time. Report
April 15, 201016 yr comment_3522 Wait, so you're buying a mount in Warcraft for $25? Is it something super special, like with a higher movement speed than the ones you can get in game? Because that's crazy, and you're only 119,000, and many more will probably get it, so they could make like 5 Mil off of that. Damn, you WoWers are crazy lol. Report

Damn, you WoWers are crazy lol.it scales with riding speed, based on your your riding lvl. so if your training only lets you got 60% it will go 60% until you up your speed. when i get mine an activate it it will go 310% (330% cause im a pally). it nice cause you get to use it on every toon you have and will ever make on your account. and if it wasnt for the fact i dont have a badass flight mount i would have passed on this Report
April 15, 201016 yr comment_3528 Anything can seem crazy in amounts of numbers, but that's the beauty of the equation. 25 bucks isn't really stupid unreasonable for a mount that can be used on any toon on your account. I mean, everyone's guilty of paying 10 bucks or more for DLC that adds far less overall. The blizzard equation is that over 100s of thousands it adds up to a LOT of money. I wonder what the profit off of WoW is though. Undoubtedly the game costs a lot to upkeep as well. Report
April 15, 201016 yr comment_3530 MMO are money makers... and I am not only too cheap to play them, but have never really found much interest in them. Report
April 15, 201016 yr comment_3534 I wonder what the profit off of WoW is though. Undoubtedly the game costs a lot to upkeep as well.15 bucks per account, every month. 180 bucks a year per account. multiplied by the however many millions of accounts there are and you get the idea. im sure they dont even notice when something needs to be fixed Report

Just the server costs alone are probably insane. Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3560 Ok. So you have to buy stuff to use in game? After paying monthly? ...You'll never turn me to the Darkside. NEVER! Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3561 Ok. So you have to buy stuff to use in game? After paying monthly? ...You'll never turn me to the Darkside. NEVER!no one says you have to buy it. its more like here is a shiney new toy, if you want it you have to buy it. if you dont want it then dont buy it. think of it like dlc, you pay'd for the game and now your spending more money on some extra new content Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3562 Your money. You get to spend it any way you see fit.I'm $90 into Borderlands and aching to spend more. I won't judge you. Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3567 Can we see pics of this mount to help understand why so many people are buying it? Or can you choose from preset appearances/colors? Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3574 Can we see pics of this mount to help understand why so many people are buying it? Or can you choose from preset appearances/colors?i just posted it, had to wait for my turn in line and then in game deliveryIs this something new Blizzard introduced recently?blizzard has an entire online store that you can buy stuff from. they have been doing the in game wow stuff for about a good 6 months now that i know of anyway. http://us.blizzard.com/store/browse.xml?f=f:1 there is some cool stuff in there but way exspensive to sometimes.

April 16, 201016 yr comment_3575 Thanks. Was wondering if the mounts were new, since I just read a fiscal statement from Activision/Blizzard. Was wondering if they implemented it now, to figure into their forecasts. Their next batch of new games won't drop until the Fall, so they may hedge their bets with DLC. Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3584 Ok...I see the 12 Carl's Jr Griiled Cheese Hamburgers with wings...Is that it? j/k...That looks pretty cool. I know you WOW guys have needs. This must be one of them. If you can keep it forever, then....Why not! Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3588 So you basically paid $25 for a winged My Little Pony? Lol jk, it does look kinda neat with that constellation effect, like it's Pegasus or something, and 330% movement speed sounds great. Report
April 16, 201016 yr comment_3633 Because everything you do costs $25...lol.no, it cost 15 get it right Report
