Lifetime WoW Subscription: Would you buy one?

[speehs]

HELL no. I only play for a few months at a time now. Even if WoW lasted the rest of my life, I don't think I'd ever actually get my money's worth.

[Sierra85]

does the lifetime wow subscription include services like faction & server transfers?

[Ugum]

Right now? No. 10 years ago, yes.

[aeuhe4yxzhds]

Yes, for 500 USD but not 500 euro or some other stupid currency exchange rate. feels like its an expansion to late for it now

[Jaylock]

Just taking the monthly sub fee into account, I would have saved around 980$ if I had bought such a lifetime sub at the beginning of my WoW career. Per account.
Now take that x2.5 (two accs + one on-and-off-account) and I would have saved ~2.500$ from the subscription cost alone. Not bad.

Wow, you spend that much on a video game?

[dd614]

lmao

If they made a lifetime WoW subscription they would release 1 raid a year. Like when all the people bought the WoW yearly pass + diablo 3 they got Dragon Soul and hardly any content during that time.

[fluffshock]

been playing 10years last 2 years on and off i would have done this by the second year and saved sooooooooo muccccchhhhhhhhh moneyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

That is the sub fee alone. I spent a lot more than that on char services (like race changes) and on things like TCG/Blizzcon stuff etc.

I don't regret anything, though. I have no problem with spending some money on my hobbies (which WoW certainly is considering just how many hours I have played the game during all those years).

[Fenixdown]

If this were any upcoming expansion but Warlords of Timeless Isle Continent, I would have. But now? Not a chance. Very much doubt I'm even playing past MoP.

[K i s u]

There was a time where I'd say yes without hesitation when I had a near constant active subscription and have probably put near if not over $1000 in fees in the 7/8 years I've played but as it stands right now I highly doubt it and will probably only subscribe for a few months here and there in the future so it wouldn't hold up the value to me.

[Samaramon]

Hell to da yes.

Didn't even finish reading the title, I was like, yes.

[KCguy]

At its peak, I think a lot of people would have considered it. Now? Obviously not so much.

[Deleted]

Would I have during Vanilla and TBC? Yea...would I now? I'd rather die.

[Durantye]

500??? Maybe if it included the cost of the expansions and of course maybe recharging character services. They'd have to offer a lot more than life time sub for 500$ to be worth it lol, especially considering there is no guarantee that WoW will exist in 4-5 years the chances of it not existing are astronomical but still possible.

500 / 13 = 38.5 = 3.2 years. So it wouldn't be that long until it would be cheaper.

I'm just saying, thats a lot of money to spend on a video game. A video game. (I re-said video game to emphasize the point)

Does it really matter? It's a hobby and it kept me entertained for many, MANY hours. Like, for countless hours considering my /played time.
Yes, there's no physical countervalue. But still...I spent money and had fun.

[Alopex Major]

Needs a "Maybe" option

I'm sad that I missed the chance for a LOTRO lifetime sub. I guess if I look back and realize that I've played WoW for 8 years now, a lifetime sub would be better in the long run. But then I'd kind of feel like I have to keep playing, even if I don't want to anymore.

[arcaneshot]

If that were offered at the beginning of WoW's lifetime I would have saved a lot of money.

Blizzard would've been stupid to offer that.

[Celista]

No.
