Can anyone who grabbed this comment on this? |
Other than the occasional LAN party, where the devil are you going to use this capability? To play with a buddy? "Hold on, Fred... I'll be there in 3 hours". And even LAN parties... you'd need 1000's of people to show up to make it fun. Dead idea.
As for server-power not being available @ home, I beg to differ.
Before the release, I played on some 'underground' servers, namely StormCraft. They weren't too laggy (nothing like what was seen on the Beta servers, but not too bad, either). They also were not that empty... 100-500 people. I'm not sure, but I don't think the gus behind it had server farms, as I remember it was just 2 guys, 1 holding a server on a 100mbps with 1 PC, and the other on a T3 with the same thing. |

If It works I have a Dual Xeon Setup that I could put up a trial server on.

i don't mind the monthly fee, it's the methods for payment that annoy me.
outside the US you can basicly only pay trough VISA, and i'm not gonna get a visa just to be able to play this game.
creditcards may be a big thing in the states, overhere they're still not *that* common.
those paycards they talked about at first seemed like a good idea.
i'd love to be able to buy some sort of gamecard at my local gamestore for example, with a 1 year subscription for like 100EUR or something. that would've been sweet. why can't they just do that. ;/

Agreed man, if they accept Paypal I might be interested, but I'm not gonna get a credit card too just to play WoW.

I discussed this payment shit with my dad, as soon as i turn 18 (which will be soon) he will dig up a VISA for me, he has one but he doesn't want to get into that shit. Good thing i have a friend who has a VISA.

i dont really want to spawn a religious debate here, but check out when your prophet "consumated his marriage" to aisha and what some muslim religious leaders condone because of that... (feel free to make witty remarks about christianty too).
And if you re a muslim, do you perhaps know what fisks sig means?
Back to the topic: As far as i could dig up from the web, there are some people who run cracked servers, but since i cant be arsed to download the non-working release and then the update to try it, i d love to hear some first hand review of those cracked servers. Are they any good? |

Trying to host a server for an MMORPG is really a waste of time in my opinion.

ok, so apart from the guys playing on cracked servers, how is the gameplay on the official servers? Is it worth the money you have to spend monthly?

Imagine, a world so rich, so full of life, with many many quests, with warm and hand made graphics, and gameplay that grasps deep into your soul. That is WoW, it's worth every cent. And Final Beta phase 2 is coming, so you can check it out for yourself. |

The EU beta is closed, the final beta phase 1 is now underway, that's for the people who pre-orderd the CE. Final Beta Phase 2 is a small open beta with limited keys, it will come this week so keep checking this link:
http://en.wow-europe.com/
EDIT: With closed i mean a specific group who signed up in juli 2004 for the EU beta and got selected. |
