Yup, it's a persistent online environment, which as it's always being developed and added to costs money to run. Plus the hardware behind it all is imense. Over 8 million people play it at the moment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft

Installed a 30 day trail of WOW, uninstalled after about 10 mins.

What a load of shite (IMO!).

lol - well some like it some dont - im not a hardcore player AT ALL - although i do enjoy the game just as much as i enjoy many other titles - think ill buy the Burning Crusade Expansion and see how i enjoy it. Although, the photograph you posted is seriously shocking - how some people can get so into it that they dress up in stupid outfits at midnight in London to go get a copy is quite simply beyond me.

just installing it atm, though i think it'll be a long time untill i have a character high enough to access the new areas etc

One of the guys here has been harping on about it all day! His wifes just phoned to say it's been delivered and he's jumped in the car and gone home!

i played WoW but didnt get hooked. I guess im not into big MMOs, just dont have the time I guess.

I just cant sit at a screen for hours upon hours and play a game. It bores me. My flatmate used to play WoW all the time could never see why looked crap to me.

As usual it's the parents fault. She's paying for his account and the internet connection. Just stop.

My mate lost his job and a girlfriend over WoW, he also managed to get kicked out of his house because his parents got sick of supporting his dole claiming arse. He's a lazy fool!

Read some remarkable stories from China where some geeza stole a virtual sword thing, and this other guy killed the thief. Theres been loads of similar incidents leading to the Chinese government imposing strict rulings on Blizzard to have a time-limited system in an effort to stop this crazed addiction.

Madness!

Also read how the IRS is actually investigating WoW to explore the possibility of adding a taxation system for these virtual economy's as they are reportedly concerned about the amount of money there is to be made from playing such games - selling swords/items - and the people who apparently just harvest gold all day long to sell.

Interesting times.
