The only good thing that came outta that was my work days seemed a lot shorter.
Psst.. it's not the game's fault that you had problems with conflict-causing addiction. ;)

Some of us manage to play the game in small amounts and not have it adversely affect other areas of our lives.

Are you sure you can trade? I know last time this was around you couldn't trade, I know because I was trying to help lowbies with one of my alts and it wouldn't let me trade with trail account users.

I used to be so addicted to this game until I quit about a year ago. Suddenly there was life outside, girls having pillow fights, adventure on the high sea.....or something.... I'm not an addict...Ill just do the 10 day trial....just for fun, noone will know, noone is watching... just one day or so, a few levels...just to remember why I enjoyed the game... it could be fun....i guess. hmmmm.....GOTTA GET ME FIX!1

Do the 10 days start when you get the key or when you sign up your account for the first time? The download is gonna take me well into the night to finish, so I won't register my account til tomorrow, but I already have the key. Do my 10 days start now or tomorrow?

great I have been playing this game off and on just with these 10 day trials. Since I never really got into the game, and I am usually bored playing it at a stretch, I dont mind a new character each time. Frankly this is the best free game I have played in a while. Dont quote me on this but who needs piracy when you can play for free...

Yeah, that goes for pretty much any MMO. If you can handle the addiction, great. If you can't, well, that sounds like a personal problem. At least an addict is better than one of those Korean kids that will play in a cybercafe for several days until they drop dead

If it matters, it's still active and I'm downloading like 2.8 gigs now at 500kb/sec. It's July 4th weekend so damn might as well try crack, errr I mean WoW. I hope I don't end up buying it for 20 bucks at Best Buy and then ruining my life.

Man I hate these dropping prices. I bought it at Fry's for $18, and thought better of it and sold it on HF. That marks the fourth time I've sold the game/quit after buying it. I've unintentionally become a crack dealer.

ymmv with them

quote, unquote. I agree really only because there are not enough people in the server to make it that fun. The thing I would find useful in a free server is having the opportunity to do anything, be anything and have anything you want (Level, items, gold, etc.) The reason why is because I would like to try out other classes and even classes I play now with items that I will probably never be able to get. I would like to have an all decked out rogue and try to solo BRD or LBRS or something like that. I think it would be a lot of fun then. Just to see how good/powerful some weapons and equiptment really are. Anyways just blabbering on about stuff that I think a free server should let people do. I just don't think people should try and make a free 'Blizzlike' Server. I hate 'farming' my level. Just let me be able to get into the action.
