Forums - PC Discussion - Holy crap. $5000 a year on WoW

http://kotaku.com/5062303/invade-stormwind-you-and-what-arm++-oh-that-one

When you can't convince 35 other people of your master plan to attack two Alliance capital cities, you really only have one alternative: Do it yourself. "Bradster" does. He owns that rig above — 11 computers that run 36 World of WarCraft account simultaneously. His infrastructure costs (to say nothing of his utility bill) weren't itemized, but he unashamedly admits he pays $5,711 per year in subscription fees to keep together his one-man raiding party (family photo of that on the jump).

 

 

That is just... WoW.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

This is one man who loves wow a bit too much. I know at one time i thought of making a 2nd account, but discarded that idea because that would've made me too geeky lol.



"Better yet? He's going to spend another $1,500 on 36 copies of Wrath of the Lich King so his army of level 80 Shamans can start pounding down Stormwind and Ironforge on day one."

Yeah, 36 accounts would probably be the only way to get anything done with shamans.

talk about taking the phrase "Play by yourself" a little too serious.

Heh, I have the same laptop as the 2 on the left.  Anyways, this is insane, I remember I thought the people with two accounts just so they could have both an Alliance and Horde character on the same server were crazy.



That is just sick man.

For real you can buy like every game for the Wii with that kind of money, not that anyone would want to but still, thets a more productive use. Hell thats a new car in 2 years.

that's a sick obsession right there. Every once and a while I think about playing WoW...then I see something like this and run.
