TWO THREADS IN ONE DAY! Man you're on a roll.

Don't spam. Address the thread topic. - ML

[checking facts]

no.

I might have ran out of gametime a few times, but I usually put more gametime in after a few days. that usually happens because I forgot to pay the game, not because I wanted to quit.

[Mekh]

Never. Joined when BT came out, also had the annual pass.

Why? Mostly couldn't be arsed to cancel, even during times when I'd only log in once every few weeks and the costs are negligible.

[Gimlix]

In my 3-4 years experience, i have not even once ended my gametime.
i always pay like half year ahead to make sure i wont run out :P

I have spended to much on my account, i will not abandon that, i will keep paying and playing till WoW is dead or F2P.

Totally agree.

[MoanaLisa]

Up until this year, I've always let it lapse for a month or two--with every intention of activating it again--to go and play other pay-to-play MMO's. So yes and no. I haven't decided if the new Rift expansion is attractive enough this year to do that. Or I might and just buy something else. It's not something I think a lot about. I just decide and do it.

To my mind, taking breaks now and then is a good thing and Blizzard makes it very easy and painless to do.

[Feral Camel]

I cancelled my sub 4 or 5 times and I've played since early vanilla.

Always plan to come back though. Just had a break now and again when I get burnt out.

[Youarefired]

Yeah, when it get's boring, why pay to not play?

This is a very focused question though...I agree that some of these threads are redundant and baiting, but this thread is asking a very specific question.

OT: I have been subbed mostly straight through since mid TBC, but I cancelled for around 5-6 months mid FL to mid DS. Subbed now and for the foreseeable future.

[KrazyKraka0]

Yes I have cancelled my subscription a few times. A few of the times was when I did not have the spare money to continue my subscription (during BC), but most recently I cancelled my subscription during dragon soul because i felt that it was a horrible raid, and due to it being the final tier of the expansion, i did not have to gear up from it for the next tier. As soon as i was 8/8 N, i stopped playing.

[Tziva]

No, I've always had enough fun to justify the cost.

I won't say I will stick around "under the servers are taken down" but I don't have any intention of cancelling any time soon. I'll keep my sub as long as I'm having $15 worth of fun a month. Even if was at the point where I was only playing an hour or two a week, it would still be a bargain as far as entertainment value.

[Kudos]

Yes. My account started in November 2004, and the first time I ever quit was the day my guild killed Yogg Saron in Ulduar. I didn't reactivate until towards the end of ICC. I even deleted all of my characters to dissuade me from coming back. (Obviously it didn't work).

The second time I quit was during Firelands. We killed Ragnaros, and had just downed Hard Mode Shannox. I resubbed towards the end of Dragon Soul.

So yeah. I have cancelled my account and taken a few months off at least twice.

[KCguy]

I have once since BC and I am currently subbed right now. Took a fairly long break during Wrath. Missed all of Ulduar and came back during the middle of ToC. If only it had been the other way around. lol. But such is life.

To me, the game is still fun and it is worth the 15 bucks a month. The only other video game I've actually justified paying for in years was The Walking Dead and, I believe NHL 10. Other than that, I hardly play anything else. If I do, it is usually free games. Am I missing out on some great games? Absolutely. But I don't feel like it is worth paying 60 bucks for a game that I will finish/play in a month and be bored of it, never looking at it again. To me, WoW is worth it. At least until it stops being enjoyable.

[Asmekiel]

You're missing at least 1 option
- Yes, but I might return in the future.

[Edds]

plenty of times. its nice to take a break what you enjoy

[IPWNFGZRS]

Infracted: Do not make game versus game posts. [ML]

[resonance7982]
