I've got WoW A week ago with a 60 day game card. But I can't help wondering whther I should've got TBC as well, it costs $50 here is it reallly worth it. Is it possible to have fun with just WOW itself? I'm broke right now. I'm still paying of my new car. And I'm 17 so I need to save every dollar I work for.

Oh and is TBC more graphics intensive then Orignal WOW cos I want to run it all maxed out smoothly, (currently running WOW maxed 1920 1080) and average Framerate 30 fps.

Answer: The expansion adds a new level cap & continent which is only reachable at lvl 60. It will take you atleast a month to get to 60, so get the expansion then. You might want to buy it now if u want to play draenai/blood elf.

Ps2stony

I already did. I told you you wasted you're money buying wow. Get Tetris, now that's AAAA.

Igght Lemme clear things up First off my quiestion was If I should get TBC expansion of WOW, not asking whether I wasted my money or not,
second the reason I wrote WOW= World of warcraft was cos you siad "What the hell is wow? Go exchange it for a better MMO, World of Warcraft" Now I take it you hate WOW and were just ripping on it but I answerd your quiestion just in case.

Then you started writing confusing Bull**** and these are Direct Quotes from your post "What do you mean how did I know you're talking about Guild wars? It says right in your post?!" I never even mentioned Guild wars!!!!!
and this quote "What are you saying??? I'm not talking about Prostreet, I'm talking about meat! Geez, no one can explain it clearer than i have in my previous posts." Are you drunk cos that ad nothing to do with anything? Why'd you mention NFS Pro St and meat for??

And Lastly "Get Tetris, now that's AAAA. " Tetris is a old Retro game I use to play back when I was a kid and why'd you mention that for.... I'm asking if I should get WOW TBC (an MMORPG game) now if you mentione another MMORPG game instead of Tetris then that would've made alot more sense.

Short answer is yes you can have fun with just WOW. if you want the extra content then get BC, but the graphics arent that different and the two extra races and stuff are only important if you truly want to be one of them.

It depends, if you want to just start out without going after a Blood Elf (please don't there are FAAAARRRRR to many of them out there already) or a Draenei, then yes get the expansion. For the first 60 levels, that is all you will get out of it are those two races and the ability to play a Horde Paladin, or an Alliance Shaman. If your willing to stick with the regular game until you toons get closer to 60, then don't buy it until you find out whether you like the game or not.

It is a great waste of time, and I have enjoyed playing it for close to 2 years.

Yes....kinda.

You buy the trial version of WoW (its abour $3 in the US). That comes with a DVD version of the original. Works just fine installing it then logging in with your regular account. I do that with my WoW installs, and still use the original WoW cd keys.

I recommend getting the expansion once you hit 55 or 58.

dont listen to this guy...if you follow his posts, you'll see that A. he never says anything constructive, and B. his use of the english language is annoying at best.

As for TBC, no you dont need it. The new races are cool, and the new lands are good for fast 1-20 leveling, but since your 17 and you likely have a few months to go before youre 60, you can hold off. When you hit 60, then you should get TBC.

Just remember...play WoW in moderation, you'll enjoy it more.

well before the expansion came out people probably had fun with it. just pretend there is no expansion, but if you want to be behind (ex; level wise/gear) then id get the exp but only you will know if you have fun or not with it.8)

ok to join a guild, you ask a person already in that guild you want to join and they send you an invite to join the guild. second, warriors do NOT suck. they do tons of dmg, have cool armor, and needed in almost every situation (raiding/group wise). stick with warrior.

This entire thread made me very confused. Back to the topic, I would have bought the World of Warcraft Battlechest for $30 or $40. Saves you cash and you get both the original and expansion plus two unneeded strategy guides which is not a bad deal. Since you have already made your purchase, I would pick up the expansion once you hit 58 so you can head straight through the Dark Portal.

As for being graphic intensive, it really isn't. It still runs on the same engine but just looks even better this time. So, don't expect much of a difference in terms of frame rates when heading into expansion zones.

yea well I heard from forums and ppl on WOW that Warriors have been nerfed soo much that there comletely useless, hell even paladins make better tanks now then them. Blzzard has completely screwed over the warrior class and longtime warrior fans are quiting cos there fed up. So I think I'll go ahead and make myself a paladin or hunter or warlock.

Ps2stony

So you've been following my posts? Maybe you're the one reporting every single one of my posts hoping I'll get a violation for it? And excuse me for using my english language skills on here, I understand now thatinternet forumingis what english teachers like to improve their student'sskills in. Just so douchebags can go ahead and blame other guys for it ^_^

No dude, people can have bad english but still be understandable and straightforward in what they write but you however don't make no ****ing sense....... you make up accusations and go on ranting about Meat and Pro Street out of nowhere.

Welcome to the MMO industry. You'll feel the same once the new expansion comes out too and for any other mmo you play.
