Kas and I resisted buying WoW. Everybody (and I mean everybody) had accounts, ponyed up the $15, and got addicted. Kas had some gamer bushido about never paying money for games, and I had this hangup about paying $15 a month for something I'd never have time to play.
We went home for Thanksgiving, and it turns out my sister's boyfriend has WoW and plays it religiously. And I gotta say...WoW is, well, WOW. Even Kas was impressed.
So, in order to play this game together on Bnet or realms or whatever, we'd both need a copy on our own computers, and we'd need to pay the $15 each. However, I have school and work, and Kas has work, though he spends non-work hours playing videogames anyway.
So is it worth it? Can I count on being around friends? I remember Roland's D2 server and how I got to play with Doc and Occhi and the gang every day. Do the Lurkers have their own space within WoW that's safe from normal gamer hazards?
