17 year old game costs more than a new game

So I have whatever is before shadowlands?

Maybe after getting every on farm in TBC I’ll check?

No I won’t. Who has that much time?

You testing a Shaman on PTR? Can’t wait for Tuesday. :smiley:

I wouldn’t. I have the time, but lack the interest. The modern game just doesn’t feel good at all.

I’ve tested a bit, and leveled a bit as well. It’s not that bad at all, actually, and I’m excited to start playing one. It’s just… the two week prepatch is gonna be a slog.

It’s a distinction that ultimately means nothing out of context. Whichever game you’re subbing to play, the sub itself is technically paid for retail, while Classic (and soon to be TBC Classic) are extra bonuses tacked on for free

Imagine if there was a fast food restaurant, that had some good fries. Like, some really really damn good fries, and they pack the box so full that they might as well be an entire meal on their own. But you could only get them as part of a meal special with a burger. So when you buy that meal, you may be buying them specifically for the fries, but the “main part” of the deal is the burger, while the fries are a side item included for free

Kind of a weird analogy, I’m a bit delirious after an exceedingly long 7 Days to Die session, point is it’s just a silly technicality that means literally nothing in the grand scheme of things, so don’t worry too much about it lol

I believe you are the one that made the post that you would quit if store mounts become a thing

Why does the price of the clone service or the mount bother you? I thought you would quit either way. I hope you didn’t lie to us.

Sub is $15 a month. the Portal packages are your choice

I wish Blizzard would buy EverQuest and reskin it to have a WoW feel…but remain with the EQ storyline, bestiary, and lore.

I remember buying SC and BW remaster for like 15$. Then Warcraft 3 came out littered with bugs for 40$? Couldn’t buy it. Now it’s Diablo 2 remaster for full price? I bought actual D2 for less then that 10 years ago.

Was really looking forward to Baal runs but…
Not going to happen.

Nobody needs the boost. The Deluxe Edition is all toys, a boost, mount, and a month of game time. Once again, absolutely nothing that is needed. TBC Classic is just like Classic was…value added for your retail World of Warcraft subscription.
Now, if you want extra things, you can pay actual money for them. I do not need to copy a character to an inferior (imo) version of the game where I will never touch it again while also moving the character to a progression side. This is the “having your cake and eating it, too” school of thought. That also costs money as it is an unreasonable expectation because it creates more work on a side project.

So you work at blizzards financials department? Or is this google foo and speculation? Yeah, thought so.

Blizzard isn’t struggling, it’s adapting to stay ahead.

TBC has no additional cost, please stop pretending it does.

You can package it any way you like if it makes you feel better. Bottom line is anything beyond the basic sub and sold on their store is considered an micro transaction to the company and is additional income to support their product.

Turns out I was right all along the purchase gives you free 100% mount. You can apologize whenever :slight_smile:

Uhm. No, you are incorrect.

Is this true? I keep reading posts that say it will cost $70 or whatever to get TBC but I thought as long as I redid my subscription I can play TBC?

It is NOT true, and this was a necro’ed post.

TBC is as free as your monthly sub.

I just wanted to quote this for when you find out how completely wrong you are and you try to delete your post. :joy::joy::joy:

I’m sorry you’re a salty whiner who can’t admit when they’re wrong and I’m sorry that I’ll be quoting this just so you can’t delete it after being proven wrong :slight_smile:

Game is free… If you want extra zero-effect-on-the-game-cosmetics, then yeah, pay up.

hmmm, does that fancy edition really come with a mount? How much gold do they actually cost inside TBC? I don’t have $70 but I wish I did so I could get that mount. I’ll just be running slow.

How is it a day before pre-patch and people still misinformed

The mount just scales to your riding skill

Yeah, the mount is part of the deluxe edition

To explain how it works:

Once you own the mount, you will receive it in game probably in the mail, as that’s how they used to give out stuff like this, on all of your characters, including new ones made after purchase (I assume, I haven’t heard confirmation but they’ve never given mounts for only one character as far as I’m aware, especially not for deluxe editions). The mount scales to your riding level, though I assume it cannot fly as I don’t see how a warpstalker would fly, but I have not seen confirmation on that either

The key is you only have the mount, not the training. You will still have to purchase that yourself, which in TBC is the bulk of the cost for riding, your 60% and 100% mounts together only come out to about 100g total before rep bonuses, so people crying about how the mount is pay to win I guess regularly just throw their gold away or something because 100g in TBC is barely more than pocket change…
