So is WoW worth it?

I really want to try WoW but like 15$ a month seems like a lot.

If you want to loose your real life then go for it.

Try the 10-day free trial (just get it at Blizzard's website) and decide for yourself.

This is an age old debate and you won't find a clear cut answer. Those for the monthly fee say it is worth it because you pay $15 a month and only spend time and money on WoW while those against say other games that are cheaper or you have are totally free online and take up the same time if not more. I personally don't mind the fee as the game is cool for what little I played and got roughly 100 hours (summer break with like 4 hours a day adds up) for something like $50, give the trial a run and see how you like it.

Money isn't the only thing you lose, that game demands loads of time.

It's a carefree, relatively simple, easy to get into MMO, which seems like the main appeal for many.

Why don't you just try out the trial and see for yourself? If you care about the monthly fees, you'll subconciously play it more then you might want to, which might not be the best thing.

Well, "a lot" depends on two things

1. How much fun you have with WoW

2. How many games per month you buy

Concerning issue 1, provided you have fun with WoW, then yes it is worth it. This is purely subjective, though, so I recommend giving the trial a shot.

Concerning issue 2, WoW is worth it unless you somehow manage to buy less than 4 games a year. 15 bucks a month is far, far cheaper than a once per month game purchases, and even cheaper than a once per two month game purchase.

WoW is definately worth it in my situation. It delivers near-infinite gameplay, allows me to bide my time concerning new game releases, and it is a lot of fun

I swore I would never play wow. Now some friends of mine have started again on a new server and I need something to do until I get a full time job lol so I might go for it.

Bah damn the games are expensive now. Were on sale just before cata for much cheaper.

End game is very time consuming. While they change the loot drop system, you are still competing with a number of people with loot in the 0-20% drop rate. Which is why I played on a PvP server. Much easier getting PvP gear as it requires more on skill rather than reading DBM and spamming Vent.k0r3aN_pR1d3

What do you mean by end game?

5-man dungeons? Then youre wrong; its not time consumign at all, especially given the recent change to currency (justice points). Anyone can get suited up in tier 10 gear in a matter of a week or two of very casual play.

If you mean raids, then yes, I agree with you that it can be time consuming. It does not have to be, though, but unfortunately it generally is.

Either way, there is so much to do at the top levels of WoW that can be done both casually and hardcore, no one can really complain.

Im new to the game (1 month) and I now have a lvl 45 character. I find it fun just to log-in for just over an hour most nights and just find a dungeon to do with the dungeon finder.

I am enjoying the game so far, its good.

I thought WoW was a game for nerds and vowed to never play it ever until I found out one of my friends played it and he got me into it and now I love it. Worth it in my book.
