It's Hammer Time!

I've logged in like once since November and I still get the occasional email or message from people I played with to go back. I don't get how you can still be invested in this game unless you sunk SC levels of money into it.

SC?


Also I'm still enjoying it a lot. So many ways to torment everyone.

Doing napkin math, if you played vanilla wow from release and bought every expansion when they released you'd have spent about $2070 so far. So there are people who have given AA more money than blizzard for less than 10% of the same time period of game.

This doesn't take into account blizzard's own cash shop, but my guess is most people have spent less than 500 dollars over the course of their entire account life in wow on character transfers and poo poo like that, and there is a significant portion of people who play AA and gave them "a few thousand" which, to me, could be more than $3k. :allears:

Whenever someone justifies wasting money on crap by saying they make/have enough to not care, it means they are either delusional lower middle class or rich kids. Actual rich people are insanely cheap and wouldn't spend 3k on a game at gunpoint, let alone on a whim-- no matter how much they liked it.

I sat down and worked out eaxctly how much I spent on wow being subbed for 9 years + expo boxes. Roughly 1850 USD because I was paying in 6 month blocks for the discount. Then you factor in the free copy of Diablo 3 they gave me and all the money I turned over on the RMAH and I am back under 1 grand.

I was F2P the whole time I played and still feel like I deserve a refund.

The game can be interest. If the servers are online when you want to play.

Whats with having to make deliveries and poo poo. Honestly a buddy recommend it to me and I will not be taking gaming advice from him anytime soon.

If they can start to get things working the way the developers think its working I might come back. Or just to kill and steal everything.

Yeah I've probably spent about 500 on WoW, but I didn't play the middle 3 of the 5 expansions. Likely a pretty similar number in LOTRO, but that's over the course of 8 years. I spent about $220 on AA to play for about 2 months after launch, now it's uninstalled and will stay that way.

I think we can all be proud that at least one goon learned a lesson from all of this. And it wasn't BFM.

here's a goat on a pig or something
I downloaded this again today, not sure why. I played at launch and got to level 7. Now I'm in the middle of nowhere doing some dumb quests. I really just want to go get on a boat and attack people. Do I need to be level 50 to do that? Does it take long to get there? It seems like the OP says most of the goon guilds are dead, will I have goons to play with?

The goon guilds are dead and the thread is 99% poo poo. That said, the 1.7 patch appears to be awesome and should have been what the game launched with. You can get on a boat and attack people right now. They will destroy you, of course.
