I seriously think you should shut the **** up before you get your ass handed to you and your mom wonders why you're crying so violently

All the noobs STFU
All the regulars. Report this thread rather and get it locked away from these trolls

Lol, are you gonna hand my ass to me ? How quaint.

 

[Corgon]

Really impressive but with only 224 post in over 3 years, you obviously have never had an opinion or original thought leecher. So Corgon keep your comments to yourself like you have been doing for so long. I never asked for your comment on my use of language. If i choose to swear then I will do so. And since you been here so long and dont get upset by ppl advertising their emu servers/gold sellers/ex wow rehabed twits is beyond me.

Yeah man, post count means EVERYTHING! Maybe i dont comment on too many topics because they pointless?

And i wont keep my comments to myself. This is a forum after all. And you really shouldnt get so upset. Why do emu servers bother you so much?? Why are they so offensive to you? And dont bring in the piracy argument, because that is a complete waste of time.

Stop being a bloody retard. If you like something pay for it. We pay Blizzard every month so that their developers can continue expanding the game. You *******s come and steal the software from Blizzard so in effect you are stealing something that we help pay for.

ACIDRAZOR - your the only one calling anyone anything..you dont know me..thank god..because if you did, lazy would not be a word used to describe me.
Some of us are less fortunate than others..remember that.
Think what you want, ill keep playing my free wow..and you my dear, well they only little tears..let them fall.

How can you describe yourself as less fortunate if you pay R289 for 1 GB of data per month as a luxury item?

If you were really that unfortunate you wouldn't even be here... so I'm sorry if my heart don't bleed for you or I shed a tear in your direction for feeling sorry for the less fortunate

Making sound financial decisions is part of life. If you mean that you're less fortunate in the sense of not being able to make those decisions then I can understand your reasoning.

Otherwise STFU

I played legal for 3 years, so yes i did like it and pay for it. And im pretty sure Blizzard really dont care about some illegal server that has a userbase of 500 when they have over 10 million paying customers. So all im saying is let them be. The poor dude who advertised this server probably didnt even realise it would be so offensive.

See this is why i dont bother to comment. So far in this thread i have been called a "leecher"(not sure how reading forums constitutes as a leecher but anywhoo) a "noob" and now im also a retard. Real mature guys, when in doubt just start name calling. Who needs to have a constructive argument anyway.

Welcome to the internet... I've posted this link before so I'm sure you'll find it in the search results.

Blizzard does care. And they're sueing/issueing take-down notices to any illegal servers they find or has been reported. Don't be daft please

 

[Crowley]

Bring something to have a constructive argument about to the table and you would probably have a constructive argument.

Trying to defend a pirate server is not a reason to have a constructive argument.

Yeah well its cool. Ill just start swearing and calling people retards. Real mature. Yoh!

@AcidRaZor I didnt realise that. Therefore i apologise for overlooking that.

Wowscape has been around for a long time and is based in the US so if they could take it down if they had the legal grounds and the inclination. I am not sure which of the two is stopping them. I personally believe that it brings them customers, but thats just my opinion.

Stop being a bloody retard. If you like something pay for it. We pay Blizzard every month so that their developers can continue expanding the game. You *******s come and steal the software from Blizzard so in effect you are stealing something that we help pay for.

Let me start by saying that I don't agree with stealing software. I also don't like the blizzard model where you need to keep paying to play, but thats their choice and people don't have to play if they don't want to pay. That said, there are two things I would like to add:

1) Blizzard charge a fee for the game and I disagree with that part. People can pay good money for LK and not be able to play it. They should at the very lest include 30 days with each of the expansions. The fact the people pay for the game up front gives emu servers a small bit of legitimacy.

2) We don't just pay Blizzard every month so that they can "continue expanding the game". The money we pay every month allows them to expand the game, but also to fund their new MMOG and to net a cool $1 billion a year in profit. I am hoping that they will drop the prices in this economic climate but I doubt that will happen. An alternative would be for them to include all of their MMO's in the monthly fee and let people buy the games that they want to play. So you could pay $30 for the new MMO and $30 for WOW and then pay $15 per month to play both. Another MMO gets added and it would be the same. $30 up front and then it would be included with the $15 per month that you are already playing.

Somebody with sense.

I agree that paying to play seemed very wrong to me in the beginning but after saving ~R400+ a month by not buying one or two new games a month it is worth it. This argument only works if you actually buy original games though.

I'd love it if Blizzard had a payment plan like you suggested but I think it will be highly unlikely. They have the golden cow and they are milking it for all it is worth.

My advice to the guys who play on emu servers is if you don't want to pay their monthly subs then go buy Guildwars where it is free to play. You are robbing yourself of the real WoW experience by playing on a pirate server.

 

[Oculate]

+1 Crowley,

While most emu servers have its lolfactor for being able to solo anything, its no-where near as enjoyable as official.

I think that Blizzard would prefer that people play the emu servers then move to a competing game (or no game at all). At least there is a fair chance of them going back to retail. I know more then 10 people who actually started on emu servers and then moved to retail. They all say that they will never go back to emu but I suppose if times got really tough then they would maybe switch back for a short while until they were able to afford retail again.

 

[poffle]

+1 abe. i did exactly that. Playd emu, decided eventually to goto official. Loved and cursed emu's. Later finding out i cudnt really afford it anymore. Quit wow, after a while jol'd on emu's a bit, hated it now im back on official. Emu's convinced me to play official as i had awesome fun but i just got over evrything not working and playing with 20 people on a server

Blizzard is not charity. Its a commercial venture. The pay-as-you-go business model is looking to be the best business model out there. It was introduced by the cellphone market. Its probably going to be implemented in other entertainement setups as well. In the UK ITV and Channel4 have serious problems because they rely almost completely on advertising revenue. This revenue is drying up. Not becuase they have falling audiences or louzy programming, but because the advertisers are cutting their budgets and the TV companies's revenue stream is completely disconnected from their customer base - viewers. Compare to Sky whose revenue scales with increase in audience(subs). The BBC's revenue is under pressure because of political pressure to reduce licence fees.

Gaming is entertainment. Entertainment is best funded by paying when you want to be entertained. We will always want to be entertained.

I would prefer that Blizzard introduce pay-as-you-go more in the same way the cellphone providers do. I.e. pay for every hour you play or somehting like that. I mean, they can already tell exactly how long you have been online for. They can offer the monthly package as well.

I doubt they will in the foreseable future, until someone else can produce a game which can compete and introduce real competition which will encourage more innovation in pricing models. Lets be honest, notwithstanding minority who play guild wars, AoC, Warhammer, etc., there is no real competition to Blizzard, is there ? And why dont they offer more innovative payment systems ??

And running around the same map over and over again is (css/tf2/cod4). Please dont been a noob and try preach here. If you wanna do some good and try save someone from a pointless state of being go hug a fuc*ing tree u ****er.

Please noob, This topic has come up so many times its really starting to piss me off. Hang around the wow forum for 3 years and see the same topic come up and be flamed and see how u react. Until then u hush cause u dont know what ur talking about.

And Joy-Energiser what can i say to you that hasnt been said before.

I'm sorry, the pot calling the kettle black. If you can't afford those pathetic prices make a plan to pay less by using something OTHER than Vodacom? maybe you can then afford to play WoW like all of us do.

Priorities in life:

Rent
Internet
WoW
Food
Sex
Work

I did affiliate linking for an ISP for a total of 6 months and can afford to play WoW now because I don't pay for bandwidth. And whenever one of my affiliates stops their services I just promote again until I have 1 more signed up. Where there's a will there's a way. You're (and everyone else playing "free" WoW) are just lazy

I seriously think you should shut the **** up before you get your ass handed to you and your mom wonders why you're crying so violently

This is the general quality of the post's you get from WoW Fanboys, attacking people when thier beloved game is under scrutiny, without much logic.Its hilarious watching you get so worked up over a game, when the simple fact that someone doesn't agree with your point of view an outright flame/attack is what you get.

Just look at AcidRazor throw his toys out the cot simply because Brookelle has a different opinion about the cost of WoW and continues to judge him him for it, and even try's to convince him what he can afford or not.

Barfish is another one, the guy gets so upset and just starts attacking and flaming people who don't agree with him, his part about post account is especially entertaining,whatever is important to you buddy...

Its actually pathetic how upset you fanboys get about a game, especially when some one puts WoW as a higher priority than sex in his life,LOL....... get a grip for god sakes.
