Wouldn't say that, its still fun to play casually and do the occasional raid on the other factions cities and do some old school raids, but just wait to see what panda's are like

I agree with terror in the sense that you missed the boat years ago however I still know plenty of people who enjoy playing today, each to their own I suppose.

Anyway, from the Blizzard Store these are the items you'll need to start off with and I've listed pricing.

World of Warcraft Battle Chest $19.99
Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Set $39.99
Cataclysm Expansion Set $39.99
30 Day Game Time $14.99

From EB games or similar stores these are your prices.

World of Warcraft Battle Chest $28.00
Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Set $37.00
Cataclysm Expansion Set $37.00
60 Day Game Time $42.95

It seems that for some reason, EB have their expansions cheaper then Blizzard's store however the Battle Chest and Game time will be expensive. I'd suggest buying it all through Blizzard to be honest.

Also would it be hard to ask for some people to leave the comparison of your warcraft penis sizes to Xfire. For someone that's simply asking the prices for start up he doesn't need to hear people arguing about when the progressive decline of the games success began. I'm sure he can investigate for himself.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the game for however long it interests you mate, all the best.

I didn't read any responses cuz it's 2am but heres my opinion.

It's a long game to actually be able to play, Lots of downloading and installing takes around a day just to install and patch everything, On a good net. If you don't have large download capabilities it will take you a month to download because the patch is about 20GB. Also the game is sort of ruined for new people with the whole BoA gear if you're looking at PvP. Also before you play it set up some life schedule if you can, or atleast consider it. the game is ******* addictive as shit. Also it is a very repetetive game, if you get bored of cod you will get bored of wow. Just my opinion. Also, Don't let your account get hacked. Blizz took me through a four month long piece of shit just to get my account back, in which at the end I asked for a refund on my Cataclysm CD KEY as they actually were at fault for my account getting hacked the second time.

MY OPINION.

^ A thousand times this..
