Lower Your Prices!
Any day now money will be taken out of my bank account. No, I didn’t buy a fancy car, or house, or boat for that matter. I simply happen to be a World of Warcraft player. Obviously, when everyone signs up for WoW, they are aware of the charges. Sure, blizzard are kind enough to give us a month (and perhaps 10 days) for free, but if this enough? Is it really fair that we get charged for having fun?
I guess in many casses the answer is ‘yes’. Blizzard are a company after all, and we, as the gamers, as using something which belongs to them. Therefore, I guess it’s only fair that we pay them. However, when we consider what we are paying them for (laughs and fun) it all seems a little bizzare. Would you expect to be sitting in a bar and everytime you laughed the barman would come over and charge you $50? It would be silly, but World of Warcraft is just an extreme of this situation. The more we enjoy the game, the more we pay to keep on playing!
I still love it though 
Let me ask you. I have a child who plays this all the time. what is so riveting about it?
From a personal prospective, I think it’s the fact that we can do what we want, when we want (apart from server downtimes of course). The game can be played in endless ways and unlike many console games, has very little limits
