World of MoreCraft

I remember playing the first three WarCraft games. I thought they had a lot of promise and potential. This new World of WarCraft that came out almost a decade ago hasn't really grown on me. The things I don't like about it?

 

You pay to play. Seriously, this price isn't that bad for a monthly fee but it adds up over time. After a while, it forces itself to become an addiction. It's like "Man, I am paying to play this? I should keep playing it then." It's an investment. I get it. But $15 a month adds up over time. So do the expansion packs. About $30 an expansion.

 

So with this rant, I am going ot show you what I just got in the email. Almost 3 years after I briefly played WoW.

Scott,  Our Recruit-A-Friend program rewards you for inviting your friends to join the adventure in Azeroth. Sign up for the Recruit-A-Friend program and you can earn:   • An exclusive Obsidian Nightwing, shapeshifting you into a flying mount that can carry one passenger, when your friend pays for 60 days of subscription time*.   • 30 days of FREE World of Warcraft game time when your friend pays for 30 days of subscription time**. Also, from the moment your friend creates a character and starts adventuring with you (including the trial period), both of you will receive these additional in-game benefits:   • You and your friend will earn triple experience when grouped together, up to level 80!   • For every two levels of experience your friend earns, they can grant one level of experience to any one of your characters of lower level.   • You and your friend will have the ability to summon each other from any point in the world.
