BURNING WOW
(Posted 2007-05-30 00:54:20 by basscomm)

I quit playing World of Warcraft on June 12, 2005 making it 1 year, 11
months, and 17 days since I've played it last. Not that I'm counting [

]. Imagine my surprise, then, when the following arrived in my mailbox:

Now, ignoring all of the things in that picture that make me a huge dork,
you'll notice, around the center, that I have been sent a DVD that has the
free 10-day trial on it (as well as the original version, should I have
misplaced it, or course). I'm guessing that the unsolicited email
announcement I got about it combined with the media blitz that I absolutely
can't get away from just wasn't quite enough to pique my interest in the
game, since the expansion's been out for a full _four months_ since the
game came out and I still haven't managed to get to the store and buy it. 

Of course, if I _do_ reinstall the game, install the expansion, play for 10
days, decide I like it, and then decide I want to resume my subscription,
I'll have to pony up $40 for the full price of the expansion, whether I
download it from Blizzard directly or get a box from the store. Heck, I
don't even really need the box, I have the full version of the game. I just
need that precious serial number.
