World Of Warcraft 60 Day Pre-Paid

Summary: Payment Method a Scam?
Review: All over the world, where WOW is released the pre-paid cards (that you can supposedly buy from a shop) are not available until a month after release. This is forcing people to use the credit card method of payment which of course suits Blizzard to ensure a steady supply of $$$. Also, when you sign up, there is no info. on how you can stop the credit card debits. I suggest don't buy the game until the pre-paid cards are out.

Summary: Is Blizzard out of thier minds???
Review: Blizzard finally caved. I have been a HUGE fan of all the titles that Blizzard has released - until now. I have always admired how Blizzard has always offered free server access (Battlenet) once you have purchased their games. What gives??? I basically have to pay for the game every month that I play instead of buying the game once and for all. This is a major bummer for those of us on tight budgets. If this is a sign of future gaming practices - count me out.

Summary: Listen People, I'll tell you why WoW costs money....
Review: In order to run the servers which hold thousands of people at any given time takes up a ton of power and can hit the server pretty hard, while this also calls for maintence, it's not enough for Blizzard to keep the server free to everyone, so that is why (pretty much all) MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) games have a monthly fee, its incredibly expensive to run these things all year round, your company would run into the ground if the servers were free. Plus Blizzard is always making new content FOR FREE to the addition of the game, like the new Player vs Player (PvP) Battlegrounds addition, so don't think you're just paying for the basics, you are paying for the long future of WoW.

World of Warcraft is a fantasic game for this genre and I'm willing to pay for it. For those who keep complaining, its not going to change, Blizzard still has other free games such as Warcraft 3 , Diablo II and Starcraft.

But as for the 60-day pre paid card, I like the option because some people may not want to use a credit card or go into thier accounts, or even younger people who don't have access to their banking account and only have allowences to purchase the game with. Literally every MMO has done this, so Blizzard continues with the tradition.

Review: ok this is good... but i was wondering if amazon.com will be having the 6 month cards available too?... you know... the ones that make it so it costs 13 dollars a month instead of 14 like the 2 month one or 15 like the 1 month one does... i would really appreciate it if they started having those available...

Summary: What the heck, Blizzard?!?!?
Review: Ok...so upon getting my shiny copy of W.O.W. Collector's Edition...I find that to access my 30 Day "Free" trial, I have to have in my posession the 60 Day, 30 dollar Pre-Paid Game Card...? WHAT?!?!?! Sooooo...by wanting to not hand my credit card numbers over to Blizzard I have to pay for my "FREE" trial and am not eligible for any discounted rates like anyone using other payment methods can get (i.e. pay 6 months in advance with your credit card and only pay $12.99 per month total). Does anyone else think this is insanely stupid? I played the beta, bought the COLLECTOR'S edition, and am now being punished for not wanting to hand out a credit card number to another MMORPG. Sorry Blizzard, but you guys really dropped the ball on this one. Great game...bad financial department. Maybe you should rethink your payment schemes. Oh, and incidentally, as of me writing this, Pay Pal doesn't work, either...even though it should. It's good to know the game is bug free...too bad the payment options aren't.

Review: The pre-paid 60 day game card costs $30 which is the same as the regular cost of 2 months(if u use a credit card) and YOU WONT HAVE TO PAY SHIPING COSTS if u just pay at home. So dont bother...
