Just a quick FYI, Lord of the Rings Online has a pre-order promo so you can choose between $9.99/mo. or $200 lifetime membership. I'll probably grab the lifetime since I'll feel less compelled to play constantly like I always did in WoW.

If you want free MMORPG, Silroad and Rappelz are both good ones to check out.

My wife is wanting to play and I want to avoid buying a 2nd copy of the original game if I can.

You'd have to buy another copy of the original if you want her to have her own account. But like I said, you could have her sign up for the free trial..then pay $20 to upgrade and the free month stacks so you'd get 40 days for $20 which is ~$15 for 30 days you'd spend on her account anyway. Then just upgrade her to BC.

So then I'll have to uninstall the one I have installed on Laptop B and then download the free trial and do the upgrades?

The keys for WoW are actually tied to an account. You must have one separate key for the original wow for each account. You must have a separate key on each account for the expansion.

You can install the original and expansion software on any computer in the whole wide world. You cannot access an account without entering the keys per account.

Go buy an original WoW to get a new key for it, use the key on laptop b to set up a new separate account. Activate the expansion on it level up your priest or warrior and come heal us on Silver Hand!

Edit: I got 10 day free trial keys too if any want em PM me!

Questing is a bit slow... Instances can be irritating if your guild sucks and you're only in pickup groups. But the Battlegrounds (PvP with Battlefield style capture points, and Capture the Flag) are where it's at! Such amazing fun!

You won't have any idea what the game truly offers until around level 30-40. But as a new player, questing is still fun, so it's not bad getting there. :)

Obligatory comment: Don't do it! Run!!!

If it was free I might play it out of boredom, but that is the most boring game. Maybe it takes too long to level up or something, but I would just point, click, and watch my character do something.

I think I played for a day or two.

No, you just have to register for the free trial. Then you can log in on the one already installed on laptop B and upgrade to a full account also (using the one already installed).

Hmm... offering free trials of WoW to AT... Isn't that like offering free samples of Stoli to an AA meeting???

no its more like passing out crack to a bunch of kids chilling outside of high school. :X


I saw someone play it at a cyber cafe, and thought NOT GOOD. It was hard enough for me to quit Ragnarok Online. Omg but i finally did get lvl99 ME priestess for those of you that know the game.

Anyhow, yes... very very dangerous.... must stay away. :p
