I submit evidence of one man, which I am going to use to paint all World of Warcraft players as subhuman scumworms who deserve to be shot. This creature owns 36 WoW accounts, plays them at the same time on 11 computers, and goes on solo raids. He can't even make friends in a videogame.
The WoW nutbag goes by the name of Bradster, leading me to believe it is our very own Brad Nicholson. The 36 accounts costs him $5711 in subscription fees: "Not bad considering I’m looking at it like it’s a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft."
Yeah, there are also worse crimes than raping a woman, but I'm not going to do that either.
Bradster also has designs on 36 copies of Wrath of the Lich King, which will run him to another $1500. He has chosen to do this simply because he wants to invade Stormwind and Ironforge. By himself.
I fully believe that when the atomic bomb drops, it is not cockroaches that will survive, but World of Warcraft players, all of them angry that the loud noise put 'em off their looting. Freaks.

That's what they said about Albert Fish, and look what happened there.
Not sure I should be embarrassed or thankful that I don't get the reference ;)
You'd think he could buy someone to play it with him.
You mention the subscription costs - think of the gear costs too - insane!
wow seriously...
dumbfounded
The comments on the article are a good read, too.
People like that are the reason gamers have such fucked up stereotypes.
Someone put the fuck out of his misery. Please.
Multiboxing software. Use one keyboard/mouse, recreates the commands on all computers. Limited use I know, but there are plenty in the game who run around with 4/5 identical characters and just own stuff. Personally I'd rather spend the money on beer or something, but each to their own!
Please take those several hours. I know you need to grind up to level 70 before you do anything else. :-D
Frankly, its the best punchline to the joke of trying to get 40 competant people to achieve anything in World of Warcraft. Its a ridiculous meta game, trying to find a group and over come nasty class-based stereotypes (Hunters are useless, lol). He misses out on that social experiment and get to go straight to the business of playing.
Massively Multiplayer indeed.
I think you're just jealous he has the money to do that.
I kinda skim read and assumed he only played 11 of his accounts at one time...but all 36?!?!
haha, this gets better and better!
Does he make all his characters look the same, or wear matching clothing or something? Can you be chilling in Azeroth one day and see a clone army go marching by and say "There goes the Bradster"?
I am loathe to imagine how much all of that hardware costs. Those computers could be put to much better tasks, like playing 11 H-games all at once.
Lots of Pc's capable of running multiple WOW clients: check
Lots of trackball mices and keyboards: check
Lots of WOW accounts: check
A super huge internet connection: Check
A stock of Mountain Dew bottles: Check
A life......................................No.
Oh can WOW runs on a cracker jack toy I got 11 old ass PC's laying around that could run wow If i played it.
Oh noes it cost to much oh noes.
So anybody playing that many accounts is selling god damn warcraft gold and rare items on the internet and is making 60 times more than he is paying.
and he is using bots and doing all this other crap that blizzard don't want him to be doing.
DUH.............
http://www.wowgoldlive.com/
that is his part time job you just don't know how profitable it can be.
He is not the first or the last to do it.
That guy is making more money than most of you people are selling crap he is getting with his 36 accounts.
:)
