Still though wow is a hard game to ask that high of a price for. Its a beginners MMO in my opinion. It doesnt take but 3 weeks of mild grinding to go from 1-80. then another month of gear grinding to be geared out, all for the cost of game's + monthly fee being around $75 to get your first 80. Then every 80 after that is a cake walk. Now you can pick up full accounts for around $150-300. $1000 account better have 25k gold, and 8 FULLY geared chars.
