It took me about eh.. 100 hours play time with some boosting items? (About +20% XP and oodles of in-game experience) last time I did it. They've shortened Northrend (70-80) by 33% since then.Evil Smurf said:how long does it take to normally get to level 80?
This is not a sign of desperation. Don't forget that they are still raking in several million in profits each month. They easily make the GDP of Norway without breaking a sweat.Sirron Kcuch said:Blizzard is desperate, and there's no more to this
As per the article, the special offer only lasts for the next 90 days, so if you do want the benefits, you'd best ask for a friend to do it now and then cancel your account again until Pandariamattaui said:I guess when I come back for Pandaria I can get my friends to send me one of these to level one of my last toons to 80, probably my Worgen warlock, who I didn't really play very much.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm not planning on coming back until then, so I guess I'll pass on this one. I suppose this gives another reason for the promotion, trying to get people back into the game for this expansion, much like the D3 promo.Amnestic said:As per the article, the special offer only lasts for the next 90 days, so if you do want the benefits, you'd best ask for a friend to do it now and then cancel your account again until Pandariamattaui said:I guess when I come back for Pandaria I can get my friends to send me one of these to level one of my last toons to 80, probably my Worgen warlock, who I didn't really play very much.
You don't want a new "The Lost Vikings" game?Sylveria said:How many games has Blizzard made in the past 25 years? 10? Less? Their whole business model has been to stay afloat on one or two titles for years at a time... it seems to work pretty well. I can't fathom why, but I can't deny the reality of things.Trishbot said:I'm surprised WoW lasted as long as it has... and it's certainly not dead yet.
Is it as good as its glory days? No. But remember it's been nearly a decade. How many games can boast that they have millions of people playing them 10 years later?
But it WILL go down eventually... and Blizzard will just have to do what they USED to do... make more, newer games instead of relying on just ONE game to keep them afloat for a decade.
Mana series as in Secret of Mana?CrazyCapnMorgan said:And still...no MMORPG of the Mana series.
*shakes head* When will people ever learn...
The resurrected players will probably have a set of Heirloom gear that will last them through their first quests in Cata.mew4ever23 said:Oh, and lets not forget how pitifully undergeared those 80s will be!
