.. and your sanity. If you don't believe me, you will the first time you need to get 45 of something (and the drop rate is something like 1 in 10 smile.gif )

Well it cost nothing to try it out. (can ask any of the players here to give you a trial account)
But u need to download the client or get the CD.

Then if you decide to continue to play, then you can simply upgrade the trail account to full account for some $$. Then u start paying monthly subscription or use time card.

1st Upgrade to full account (Via Online)
USD 19.99

2nd upgrade to BC account (Via Online)
USD 29.99

Monthly Subscription

Hidden cost is the USD to RM conversion rate. So basically depends on where you get the game from.

WoW Starter Pack (comes with 1 month free subscription) :USD 19.99
WoW Burning Crusade Expansion pack (with 1 month free subscription) : USD 29.99

OR

You can get both from the WoW Battlechest with 2 months free subscription at USD 39.99

Then the subscription fees start after those 2 months.

depends on individual, you could be addicted to arcade or worse, illegal activities such as drug abuse and you'd waste more time, money and your future.

The cost of the following too need to take into account:

IF married, playing WOW can cause the following:
a. Your PC get thrown out of the house due to neglecting the opposite, OR
b. You get to spend more time with WOW with the expense sleeping with the PC, OR
c. Your PC gets a sudden death situation when your opposite pulls out the power cable

Plus you get a God-like aggro which can last several weeks, which is more uber than getting aggro during raids.
