I have a problem. I'm being paid to study but since I got my hands on WoW I've been playing it even on weekdays.

Right now the account is suspended: good news. I'm taking my finals next week.

After my finals and the new quarter starts, I'm planning to resume playin WoW, but I want to limit myself to playing only on weekends.

Is there a 1 day prepaid plan or something the like that will minimize the cost of playing the game?

Thanks

lol ur addicted

same as all who played wow

so is there a 1 or 3 days prepaid plan?

no, min is 30 days (credit card) or 60days (game card)

if you really insist, 10 day trial, new account. /headinhands

it's all about willpower.

sadly, i have none when it comes to WoW.

on the flipside, i don't have to study anymore (thank gawd).

studying is some of the best moments in your life

you meant "you pity yourself" right?

so anyways, when i have to pay $30, i think that... if i dont play on weekedays kinda rugi la burn my dollars... sigh

It's normal to hate study when you are still in school, and miss study when you are not studying. For me the best part is where i know lots of friends through school/college/uni and the part where i hanging out with them. I never like study

But anyway...

You have to make some sacrifice of course. If you really enjoy it and can play alot during weekend (maybe +friday night) it's still worth it for the subsciption. As alot of raid commence on weekend as well.

If you want to control your playing schedule via the game (and not your willpower), use the Parental Control features in WOW. Go to WOW Website > Account Management (Top Right of the page).

Hope this helps

I never said that it wasn't. I just said that I'm glad that part of my life is over. Studying is stressful and not easy having not done it for nearly 10 years. This is coming fromsomeone who used to attend classes with stress-headaches-migraines every 2 weeks until she graduated. Having a bunch of friends while studying is totally different. Two different aspects.

Nope, I meant that I'm being honest. I like playing WoW and it can be difficult not to play the game. If I pitied myself, I would cry everytime I played. It also helps to be able to laugh at oneself as it makes you less edgy when people are commenting on you. Getting out of denial is the road to recovery.

Don't play then. Easier said than done I know but what to do? Temptation is there, even with parental controls set on.

Good luck on your studies though.

there only such a prepaid plan that I know off but its only availabe for WoW China versions. over there you pay as you play. if wikipedia is correct, there is really cheap you pay $12.99 each month and can play up to 8 hours everyday estimate. So damn because I pay also $12.99 a month but only can play 4 hours max.

but since you are studying, i suggest you don't play wow. its addictive and will effect your studies (do it before its too late if you can't manage your time already) and unlike working where the worst case scenario only means you get sack and can start over in a new company easily....bad grades will be listed in your transcript forever and its really wasting time to change course or college to remove the bad grades and retaking too many times will waste time and money.

Forgot to ask just now, you meant somebody is paying you money for going to class? That's wicked, i want that too

i seem to have seen that phrase some time ago
and it is pretty sad to have to pay $30 per month only to play it about 8-10 times a month. the best solution is to find another suitable game ( but WoW's just so good... )
find another hobby, maybe?

I guess you can try one of those crappy private wow... nvr played it but heard it's crappy. But I guess it's better than nothing..

I have the same concern as the thread starter.... I'm on trial account (level 19 female mage) and have bought retail but have not yet entered the key. Will they still count the barred days in the parental controls or not?

hm? i thought it's $15 per month?

im pretty sure im paying $15, im using credit card.

i think he meant $30 for 2 month

US$14.99 per month
RM51 per month (depends on currency exchange)

These are the 1-Month packages.

there are other alternatives to making full use of the hundred bucks you pay for 60 days play time. the most reliable but risky way is botting. haha

Congratulations on making yourself sound like a complete idiot.

QFT

and just to let you know, blizzard does NOT tolerate illegal playing such as botting unlike your general mmo's. just a heads up, they just sue'ed WoW glider (a famous botting program) and are still in the process of making more claims out of the author of WoW glider.

if they can flex their army of lawyers all around the world just because of that, they certainly wont have a problem in banning your account and deleting your character, at the end of the day, you lose.
