World of Warcraft 60 Day Pre-Paid Time Card

The online cost (with direct credit card payment throught Blizzard website) it's a much better deal, here is the prices (Sept. 8, 2005) :
1 months = 14,99$US / 17,91$CA
3 months = 41,99$US / 49,64$CA (16,55$CA/month)
6 months = 77,94$US / 92,14$CA (15,36$CA/month)

So, if you take the 3 or 6 months package, you get a lot more for your money. World Of Warcraft prepaid cards are only good for gifts or for people who don't have access to credit card payment.

Just wanted to clear up a few of your points that are false.



1. "In guild wars you start out in the world "alone". You are connected to a small server that allows you to chat but not interact (a lot like Battlenet)"

Thats not really true. You can interact with other people in any town. It is true that once you leave town, you are in an isolated environment and you can only interact with enemies and other players in your party.


2. "When you find a group from chatting one of the persons in the group acts as a host mini server. So really whoever makes guild wars doesn't have to pay heavy for huge servers since everyone is in mini games on their own servers."


Absolutely not true. At all times, whether in town or in an isolated zone, you are connected to the guild wars server, and the environment is hosted there. No single person is hosting for anyone else. If this were the case, then when that "host" disconnected, everyone else would as well. This doesn't happen. Guild wars has to pay for as big of servers as they need to serve all the players that are on at a given time. Argument invalid.



3. "So what does all this mean what can you do in WoW that u can't in GW?
Basicly you can't have everyone together at the same time and you can't "bump" into people while you quest, although this seems little it can really take out the fun of being in a huge interactive world seeing everybody instead of a find a group and have 4 other people quest w/ me in this huge world."


Indeed this is a potential shortcoming of Guild Wars that you dont have in WoW. There are plusses and minuses to being isolated when questing and doing missions though, so its really all up to preference

I would first like to say i have world of warcraft and i absolutely love it and its definately worth $15 month.

Now about the arguement that Guild Wars is free so how can't WoW.
WoW works like this, thousands of people connect to one of blizzard's servers and everyone gets to interact at the same time.
In guild wars you start out in the world "alone". You are connected to a small server that allows you to chat but not interact (a lot like Battlenet) When you find a group from chatting one of the persons in the group acts as a host mini server. So really whoever makes guild wars doesn't have to pay heavy for huge servers since everyone is in mini games on their own servers.

So what does all this mean what can you do in WoW that u can't in GW?
Basicly you can't have everyone together at the same time and you can't "bump" into people while you quest, although this seems little it can really take out the fun of being in a huge interactive world seeing everybody instead of a find a group and have 4 other people quest w/ me in this huge world.
If u can spare $15 WoW is the way to go but if you lust for a online questing role playing game experience w/o draining cash Guild Wars is a very good buy i admit.


World of Warcraft 60 day cards   September 2, 2005
Price is good for 60 days if you want to do it in 2 month increments, but the game is so good it is addicting and it is easy to put too much time into the game and not into other things like school, chores, etc.
