Cost is high., 2005-07-03
I understand the costs and time involved in keeping a game of this magnitude, BUT i do beleive the regular price of 15$ a month and 50$ to purchase the game is a bit excessive. I have personally played the game and it is a lot of fun but in my opinion not worth 15$ a month, just think if there are 500k people subscribed to WoW that would be 500,000x(lets say average 13$ a month)13$ = 6,500,000 a month, not to mention if 500k copies were sold that would be an initial gail of 25million dollars.. Hmmm that does not seem justified in any way. Had the game had a membership fee of say 5$ a month i would have no issue whatsoever playing it and paying there little service charge. Just my opinion folks. I wonder how Guild wars does there online gaming for free?

 who ever put the price on this needs it fixed NOW, 2005-06-28
the amazon.com price for this product is roughly around 25-30 US
and the amazon.ca price is 59.99 that is horribly off because it is a 60 day card which provides the user with 2 months of gameplay (without a gamecard it would cost around 15 a month on a credit card) this gamecard should cost around 35 - 40$
and another thing is gamecards can't be used because once the code is put in the card becomes useless.

Great price, 2005-06-08
The price as the time writing this review is $23 for 2 months, that gives you about $11.50 per month. The cheapest you can get from WoW official website is $12.99/month, only IF you pre-paid for 6 months.
So pre-paid for 2 months at $11.50/month vs pre-paid 6 months at $12.99/month, you do the math.
I had to say I was a little bit turn off by what Blizzard did to me few minutes ago, I posted on their forums the link to this Amazon deal, it was deleted in 3 minutes. I know they're trying to protect their monthly fee, but it's kind of childish and immature, IMO. Just let you guys know here, you're the judge.

Pre-Paid Card versus Subscription, 2005-06-08
Currently a subscription to WoW costs:
$15 a month on the per month plan, $14 a month on a 3 month plan, $12 a month on a 6 month plan, this 60 day prepaid at $23 (23% off on sale) works out to: $11.50 per month!
Other then being cheaper (at the moment) if you go with one of the extended (3 and 6 month plans) and decide to quit the game there is no refund for unspent time. On the 3 month plan you're going to be out $28 (for 2 months) at worst and on the 6 month plan you could be out $60 (for 5 months) if you quit in the month of the billing cycle.
So your costs are less, and so is your exposure. The only drawback is: you'll need to get another card in 60 days or sign up for the month to month plan while you wait for your next card to arrive.
It turns out, month to month is cheaper then anything, except the 60 day card, if you count money lost when you decide to quit the game but have a couple of months outstanding.

 Game is good, but you don't need to buy this pack, 2005-04-05
WOW is a great game to play, but you don't need to buy this package. It is cheaper to pay online for the subscription.
