World of Warcraft is at a price Blizzard doesn't want you to know about @ Amazon today
Butmac | 9:04 AM on 12.26.2007 23 comments


I think that the fine people over at Amazon.com think that "Hey man, Merry Christmas buddy! Did you have a good one? I'm glad you got to see your family and have yuletide spirits" rhymes with "Fuck You." I mean that's the only way I explain yesterday's deal and then today's deal. Here's why:

This is not a game. Ask anyone who has played this "game" and liked it. It's a juggernaut drug addiction, ok?


TRUE STORY:

I graduated from a good school about 2 years ago. My whole life I've been an active, fairly social, regular guy who likes to be funny. I spent 3 months of my life after I graduated waking up to play WoW until I fell asleep at night.

I know this is not an uncommon story - but I guess you would have to know me to know that it is really really sad for me. I was depressed and miserable. It sucks when you are an intelligent lazy ass. ("What is the point of me doing this? I'm not bettering myself. None of this even matters. I am so lame right now. I've got nothing else to do. Oooh a blue item....")

But if you haven't taken the plunge yet and feel like throwing your life away. Far be it from me to tell you not to do it.


Also, apparently Blizzard doesn't want Amazon to so openly display how much the game is. So Amazon hid the price and extra mouse-click away.

Well I will display it openly. It's $10. World of Warcraft is $10 @ Amazon today. Suck it Blizzard. R.I.P. Parsecone.

The end times will be a Blizzard MMO on the 360.

Nah, that would be the MMO of the CareBears on the 360. That's a good sign to look out for the Anti-Christ.

You named your character Parsecone? Is that par-sek-oh-nee, or parse-kohn?

I was hoping Burning Crusade had hit a low like this. Please inform me if it does...I'd eventually like to start a Blood Elf Hunter but I've quit this game twice already so it's probably best if I don't get Burning Crusade...

On Black Friday they had the WOW/BC bundle for $20, so I don't know why this is surprising.

I'm burned out on MMOs. 6 straight years of grinding in the past from UO, EQ and CoH has left me drained from farming and grinding for specific items and levels.

Blizzard could play people 20 dollars to get World Of Warcraft, and they'd still make an obnoxious amount of money.

When I bought WoW, I got as far as the main menu and then got bored of it. Never opened up that file again.

@007: Man, I'd hate to see what kind of menu a game needs to have to keep your attention.

"What the hell is this shit? Buttons with text on them? Screw this crap! I need like, radial menus and trance music!"

I'm kinda glad I quit WOW a month ago, played for I think 2 1/2 years. Got tired of rushing home after work to get on in time to raid and shit.

I'm too scared to play WOW, and lucky for me my comp sucks and I only use Linux anyway. My 360 takes enough time in my life as it stands.

So this will be a no : )

Gogogo 2009 Diablo mmo on the 360/PS3/PC!

I gave away my WoW closed beta key after spending about 2 weeks of 13-17 hour days without being afk for more than 15 mins. This game is evil.

I wish I made a list of what I ate during those days..

I played it for a good two years. I quit 4-5 months before burning crusade came out and when it did, I resubscribed for 4 months.

I only played for about 3 of those months but I still hit 70 on a blood elf mage in that time.

I quit until about 3 weeks ago. I bought 2 months of time and play every now and then. No more than 3 hours a week.

WoW is surely the work of the devil, and Amazon its eager servants.
