Re: World of Warcraft 10 free days
Yup.
I just finished BioShock and enjoyed the hell out of it, but according to my Steam profile page, it only took me 16 hours to do so. I'll be playing through again, saving all the Little Sisters this time instead of eating all of them, but it probably won't take another 16 hours since I know where everything is and won't have to spend much time searching. Granted, I got BioShock for $5 while it was on sale, but it's usually $15... and it was $50 when it was new.
On the other hand, I play at least a couple hours of WoW most every day and generally enjoy those two or three hours. Aside from an expansion pack once every 18 months or so, it's $15 for probably close to 60 hours of fun every month... not bad. Hell, cheaper than go out boozing once a week - you can drop $30 on drinks and not even get tipsy.

Re: World of Warcraft 10 free days
I remember when I quit WoW and afterwards thought about all of the money I had sunk into it since it released. I came to the realization that for all of that money, I have nothing to show for it after I quit. Five years of $15 a month, plus any other fees (Transfers, etc) really adds up. Frankly, I might have spent more initially on the PC games, but the brilliant thing is, I have only paid once for them. Their fun to dollar ratio can only go up over the years

Re: World of Warcraft 10 free days
Yeah, but how many times have you gone back and played through those games after the first couple of times? How many times have you bought a game at full price, played through it once, then never touched it again?
And you could always sell your account if you really were done.

my biggest problem with WoW was, pretty much i tried it after having played AO for a couple months (best free MMO btw), the leveling was too simplistic. Don't like the "fire arrow, gain bow skill" system. I like more like you see in alot of RPGs where you invest points in different skills, talents etc.
Otherwise it was a decent game

Re: World of Warcraft 10 free days
I bought Dawn of War 2 for like $20 bucks and got maybe 15 hours of playtime out of it. I doubt I'll ever play it again.
I bought UT3 for about $20 and got maybe 10 hours of playtime out of it. I might play it again if a good mod comes out for it, but the core game itself... no thanks, I don't like playing Gears of War: UT-style.
I spent $80 on the WoW collector's edition, another $40 or so on the first expansion, and got the second expansion for free. I pay $15 a month to play it, sure, but the amount of time I've played it would probably be embarrassing if I tallied it all up.
Honestly, there aren't many other games I can attribute that to... maybe UT2k4, and that's probably about it.
