Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Alright. So, recently, I began playing the F2P World of Warcraft. My cousin and her boyfriend both play it, and they'd give me a hand, so I thought "Why not?" Well, I hit Level 20 today, and it won't let me go any farther. However, I really want to. So I figured, "Why don't I just sell some of my old 360 stuff and buy it? And my allowance (15 USD a month) would cover the fee." But this is where I hit a roadblock. I also wanted to get a 3DS and Kid Icarus: Uprising when it comes out. I would also have to sell some of my old 360 stuff to do this. Both decisions would deplete my funds, and I can only manage one. World of Warcraft Pros: -Hours upon Hours of gameplay -Family plays it -Would be able to sell less of my 360 stuff Cons: -Monthly fee 3DS Pros: -Kid Icarus: Uprising (DO WANT) -StreetPass, other console features -More than one game Cons: -Would have to sell more of my 360 stuff (more expensive in general) -NO family members have nor play it -Have to pay for each new game I buy (derp) So, YCM. What do you think? ALSO Discuss spending in terms of Video Games Price raises and drops, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 great, more WoW personally you shouldn't do that due to the constant pay, it'll suck your wallet dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 maybe not, but you're still young when you have to make a living yourself, you'll see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 When I have to make a living myself, chances are, I won't be playing WoW anyways. Besides, why focus on the then? Why not focus on the now? Still want to know what you were implying with the snide comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 mainly because I'm a Starcraft fan, I have a huge fic going for it and everything and the problem with the popularity of WoW is that Blizzard will keep focusing on that instead, which means all the Starcraft games keep getting swept under the carpet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Well, that's irksome for you, maybe, but don't bring it to my thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 *Points lower in Video Games* Threads down there. Check it out, why don't you. Anyway, probably the main attraction to the 3DS is Uprising. IT LOOKS SO GOOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnpsy Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'd go for the 3DS if only because I don't see the appeal of WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Getting the 3DS will open up so many gaming opportunities, and WoW can become more expensive in the long run. And if you wanted someone to play with, I can always add you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzi Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 As much as I may hate WoW, dislike MMOs in general and think monthly costs is dumb... If you enjoy WoW and know you'll enjoy it more, and you have friends/etc who play it, and you are sure you can afford it (in the LONG TERM!) then I'd say a subscription might be better than a more expensive 3DS that you might not like as much.

Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 However, WoW may be more of a hassle. Since my parents are the ones that provide the subscription fee (monthly allowance yadda yadda), they'd have to be the one to pay for it. This would need to be done through online transactions, something my parents do NOT like doing in the slightest. It seems for each option, I'm able to find SOMETHING that could go wrong. =_= I'll actually consult my parents about this. Probably should've tried that first anyway. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'd say go for the 3DS because of the gaming opportunities, but I'm heavily biased against WoW after seeing it degrade from vanilla to today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm rather biased because I think WoW is ridiculously stupid, but even so, I would say go for the 3DS. Learning to build up funds rather than rely on an allowance is far more important. Monthly fees teach no independence for these things. It's basically just a drain on finances. But I think whatever you enjoy better, just go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Rai, believe me, if it weren't for the Child Labor laws, I'd be working right now. I've always liked working for money outside of my house for some reason. So I don't really rely on my allowance anyway. olookbias ...Makes me think. Have any of you hatin' folks even tried WoW? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I tried Runescape and went for membership. It wasted money that could have went for more things and I practically wasted 2 years of my life. All MMOs are like that. At least with the 3DS, it won't waste your life before you realize it.

Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oi, that's harsh bro. Besides, even though my cousin and her boyfriend have both played it for a long time, they both live fulfilling lives. It's all about moderation, something I'm... ...not too good at. ._. But that's because I've never TRIED moderating. Once I try, I'll succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 You need to gain some skills in moderating before taking something as big as a full MMO. I thought I could moderate when I was playing Runescape. However, I ended up losing my moderating skills. So, you should start simply with a 3DS. When you have worked on your moderation ability, then you can go for WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just because you happened to fail at it doesn't mean I will. Besides. I don't see a reason why not. After all, it's not like it'd affect my grades or anything of the sort. I have to get that out of the way before I'm even allowed to touch video games. However, I leaning more towards the 3DS at the moment. The thought of a looming monthly fee is starting to get to me. *looks over shoulder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
