How do you know if:

A. I raid

B. I have a lot of time on my hands

Why did you:

A. Use the frankly unnecessary word "damn" in that sentence to emphasise it

B. Answer your own question in your second sentence.

$50 per game * ATLEAST 12 million sales = $600,000,000

$35 per game * ATLEAST 5 million sales = $175,000,000

$12 per month * ATLEAST an average of 7.5 million for its lifetime * 24 months = $1,080,000,000

WHAT THIS MEANS: Blizzard > You

wow is a fun game but like any game there are people who play it too much, it is these people that form the basis of the stereotypes of people who play wow.

honestly i played it for about a bit over two months, had my fun and just left it, i didn't need to go to therapy or anything to quit i just didn't play it anymore. it is just a game in the end.

So you make up statistics while I state my personal experience...plus you overgenralise and provide extreme examples as a way to support your weak "arguments"....

Guild Wars is still 10x better.

WoW is fun and large as hell, but Guild Wars requires strategy. WoW requires gear and grinding.

Don't worry, I agree with you totally. World of Warcraft has too much micromanagement and it's too big of a drain on your social life, even for an MMO.

If you don't want to fail High School, don't play WoW.

guys for gods sake dont go near that game, its more addictive than drugs. it distroys your life. leaving WOW was one of the hardest things i have done in my whole life. just dont do it...reza

No offense but does any one else think this screams hypocrite? He is in a forum argueing about video games.. while calling some one else has too much time on their hands and no life, in a video game forum...

Sad. Now Blizzard really doesn't have any incentive to branch out anymore. Acompany that is effectively 'killing' itself with its own success...it's almost poetic.Verge_6

I don't think this is very fair observation when Starcraft 2 is slated for 2008-2009..

And after that comes a Starcraft MMORPG...

Thats complete speculation there is no proof what so ever that they would be doing that.. Specially when they can make quite a few expansisons for WoW.

Interesting point of view from a "average and normal" person with 4k+ posts in SW.
