There are private servers if you want to play for free.......They arent as good as Warcraft's servers but you get what you pay for......

I don't mind paying to play at all. 

Some people want the game to play on their Etch'a'Sketch, too.  Not gonna happen.

I played for a year and a half but finally had enough of the lack of a trade channel.
Blizzard had chosen to let anyone use the channel formerly known as the trade channel as a free for all world-wide channel.
So when I went to trade or buy items the text scrolled by so fast that my trade was gone almost the second I hit my return button.
There were also certain cliques of people who would get together and engage in topics and talk that belonged only on a explicit pornography site.
Also there were hours long contests of coming up with cute sayings and some obscene sayings that made the trade channel unusable.
Since Blizzard thought this stuff was OK  I obviously did not belong in the WOW community so moved on.
What Blizzard needs to do is clean it up and change the general channel to the world-wide channel and trade channel to the local mode only.

I think World of Warcraft needs to be free. Its a good game and all but it'll be much better if its free. Most people will get the 10 free days and forget about it because of the $10-20 monthly payment. If its free it'll be better than what it is

I made lemonade the other day, and instead of selling it for 25 cents/glass, I decided more people would drink it if I gave it away.

Ofcourse, the people at blizzard would rather go on welfare, and sell their kids to Nazi's, just to get more people to play the game.

Ummmm....Hell no? You do know that WoW is still the top MMO right? It has been for a while. The sorry excuses for games, like AoC, that have been trying to outdo it have been nothing but epic fails.

This should've never been a topic. I actually thought you were going to suggest something witty.

Funny, I've been playing for two years, and have never had a problem with the trade channel. I can easily find people to enchant my 2h, or cut my meta gem regardless of how many sucky chuck Norris jokes are in the way. Also, people say what they want to.

shit

^That's vulgar and you can report me for saying it, but mmorpg.com can't stop me from saying it unless they had a mature language filter like WoW.

Please keep in mind that the language filter doesn't filter everything, otherwise every post would be like: *&^%&  ^%$#^  ^%$#^&*$

I bet ya any money that if is was free we wouldn't have the Burning Crusade!

I liked it better without it.

i think that WoW should have a payment to buy the disc and code that allows you to create an account but no more payments only for  the expansions. they will make lots of money and from loads of people buying the game and they can still make the expansions. plus look how long it takes for an expansion to be made anyway about 3 years maybe.

Good for you and your vulgar nasty  friends. WOW is all yours, enjoy. I don't miss your type one bit.

I've already joined a decent bunch of players in another MMORPG  and haven't had to use the mature language filter or ignore list. 

 

Make the world as vulgar and nasty as you like.

they cant make it free wow is such a huge game they need money to run the servers and hire gms and people to make patches and expansions and other stuff, i really dont mind paying 15 smackers a month its not really that much.

i think wow sucks balls play runesceape

i use to think all online games should be free but i guess i was wrong, most of the people here has their point of view and its vividly to say that it should not be free because there might be bigger problems for the players to have it free, maybe on the server issue...

i would like to see the ability to twink on gear like in anarchy online

WoW needs housing and a better crafting system

Why not copy some SWG features and implement them into WoW?

I think, Wow needs to fix the lagging issues on the new expansion. It's completely horrid. I couldn't even complete the first few quest on the game because there are so many people trying to do it all at once, maybe before you release another expansion, make sure it can function properly with all these people who play all at once on that server. It is so rediculous. I mean I know there may not be much you can do but, seriously, everyone knew this was going to happen. It just gets annoying after awhile.

But on the real,

I think you shouldn't have to pay Wow every month or so, It should be after every Expansion you get you should only have to buy one card, or make the cards last a year or something. It just racks up to much cash out of my pocket when I don't get paid very well. Sorry it is just a suggestion.

lol thats not gonna happen

blizzard wants money, they dont give a fuck who is poor or rich in their customer base. they want your money and will do whatever it takes to get people to keep playing and paying

Hahah, Yeah its all dirty business with money. It just fucking sucks when you can't play because of that.

Wow would need better drop rates, imo nothing else to change, it kinda has everything now.

 Well i have been playing WOW since the beta. and i absolutley think that wow shuld not be free. why? ok here are some pointers. on most servers there are guilds that just do PvE or PvP so most rec to get in the guild are age 16+ or 18+ .. the gamerulez for playing are 12+. imo the graphics in the game are abit childish but since the game play is great ill ignore that. WOW started as game for all age 12+ for fun playing, to day its all about dungeon raiding and PvP. so i say pay for the game since no serious guild wont recruit a child anyway.. not saying this becuse i feel that way, just the way the  game has turned into. sad i know. 

Surprised noone mentioned the sheer immense ammount of profit blizzard takes in... When it's all said and done they make billions.
