WOW business model in China is like this: You buy prepaid cards that give you a set amount of time - right now, its 66 hours + change of gameplay for....I forget, 30 yuan I think? Anyway it works out to like 0.45RMB per minute...thats...6 cents a minute. There's no expiry time I think...or a pretty long one, perhaps, I haven't logged in to China Wow for a while. I don't know if they have the whole monthly thing yet - in China that is like you buy a card, and it gives you unlimited gameplay time for a month ala US WOW. Dunno if they have implemented that yet. I haven't touched it for a while - took on US WOW and never looked back. Can't stand the chinese translation of names, pretty damn bad. Don't know about WOW Taiwan, but I imagine its the same.
Edit: Perhaps I wasn't clear enough - this gameplay time you buy is added to your account - you can see how many minutes you have left at the character selection screen. So you can play from anywhere, not just your home PC or net cafe
Can I take it to mean that you mean adding it to favourites? Ingame: TAB -> right click (pointer shows up) -> Go to "Manage" tab-> click on the "add to favourites" button and you're done. Or just click the "+" button in the server browser menu. If your question isn't this, sorry ^^"
Well, it could be that standards today are raised, that people thought the predecessors rocked and the sequels don't live up to the hype. Perhaps the sequel as a standalone would be rated better than as a sequel to an older game. If so, for example the graphics being improved would be expected and not a "good point" of the game if it was standalone. Just saying it could be such. Same could be said about the gameplay. For example, a certain type of gameplay wasn't liked, so in the sequel they expect it'll be changed, and if it wasn't, they'd knock on it hard, rather than just taking less points offit ifit was a standalone game.
