So I’m sure nearly all of you have heard of this game (World of Warcraft is the proper title). It’s currently one of the biggest games out there with tons and tons of people playing it for hours on end. I was part of the original beta and played the first day it came out, but was able to take myself away after about 6 months of playing.
Over the past few weeks, small things have been drawing me back into playing. I really don’t want to and know I shouldn’t, but there is some addiction deep down inside that is calling me back. I thought I’d be able to cure my craving by getting a small taste and went ahead and bought this full size poster . Nope, still want to play. Once the new expansion pack was announced and an estimated release date given, I knew that would be my moment of weakness. On an entirely different motivation, as soon as I saw that Amazon had pre-orders available for The Burning Crusade Collectors Edition, I went ahead and ordered 3. Now why you may ask did I order multiple copies of one game. This is the reason. The original WoW CE is going for insane prices on ebay, due to the limited copies Blizzard produced. At first, ordering the CE for the expansion, I was a little worried. Had Blizzard picked up on the rare availability and were they going to produce more? Apparently not. As of today, it is impossible to find a pre-order anywhere. And Ebay is proof. I can tell you now I will be selling all 3 of my copies to the highest bidder. This coupled with an article I read the other day has dramatically lessened my desire to go back and play. Now I give it 50/50 odds. Besides, I have tons of other games that I need to get to and Gears of War & the Wii will be out real soon.
btw I got a new car. Pics, story and details later.
