Let met first respond to the comment about subliminal messages by chrisyuk and the comment about having to pay by credit/debit card by themarkyofbath.

1) I watched the youtube thing and these supposed subliminal messages happen while you're dead and in ghost form. Its a load of rubbish and you could pluck a subliminal message from the sound of a train if you tried hard enough. I dont personally die very often in game so im never exposed to this supposed message and yet I continue to play because its a good game. Plus you spend about 1% of your time dead ingame, so its not the best place to put a subliminal message for Blizzard is it!!!

People play this game because its fun, not because some company is using hidden messages. People play wow because its a distractionfromf life which is called escapism and thats a perfectly healthy thing to do.

Other people watch TV, some go to the cinema, some people drink themselves stupid down the pub on a night time, but in this… more »

Other people watch TV, some go to the cinema, some people drink themselves stupid down the pub on a night time, but in this case they play online games like WoW.

2) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY USING CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS, you can play this game using pre-pay cards in the same fashion you would top up a mobile phone. Once that runs out, you get a message when logging in stating you have no play time credit.

Then you top up at YOUR CHOICE!! No money is taken out of your account, because they DONT have your bank details if you choose to pay using top up cards like I do.

Now that is out the way...

...theres no denying that LK is just going to offer you the same old stuff you got in the first game and in Burning Crusade. More quests, more dungeons, more raids, more gear, more leveling and more pvp and so forth.

Yet if you enjoy leveling up characters, getting more powerful gear, collecting more mounts, pets and playing more pvp zones then get Lich King.

If you were getting bored with the original content then dont get lich king. Its your choice and no one is forcing you otherwise.

All I can say is that Lich King offers a good storyline, some very fun quests which involve vehicals and some beautiful locations and its your choice if you want to buy this expansion.

If you are new to WoW, the simple suggestion is to play the first one before you try Burning Crusade or Lich King and see if you enjoy it. The only issue there is that most of the more fun content isn't reached until you are lvl60+, so it makes it hard to evaluate the game within just a few hours of playing.

WoW is no different to other MMOs on the market like Lord of the Rings, Warhammer or Connan. They all reach a point where they become boring and expansions never offer anything original, except the same old thing.

All MMOs require some form of grind to level up or complete tasks and you complain about it because you accept that grind if you play an MMO or RPG.

If you enjoy the WoW franchise and you want more stuff to do, then buy Lich King then buy it. If you are new then play the first one before moving on. If you are bored with WoW then play something else.

Simple really!!!
