Solo or Multibox in Expansion?

[remanz]

I might be ending my multiboxing career. Kinda sucks but watching lots of the videos almost every boss has a gimmick that will probably stop boxers in their tracks. Some of the stuff just won't be able to be done. Don't even think we're at a we'll see state anymore- it's going to be rough to box dungeons.

This has been some shitty downtime these past few months. Nothing to do in WOW and I only renewed to do Brewfest. Haven't played or done a dungeon for months now.

Hell I even started playing City of Heroes for the first time and been having a blast. Doubt it'll be something I play years on end like WOW but it's a nice alternative.

If Cataclysm came out today I wouldn't even be excited. I was really stoked months ago it's just been such a long wait with the same old same old.

So I dunno might be done with WOW for good. SWTOR around the corner and other things seeming more worthy of my time.

Well take 4+ months break from WOW, you come back it will be fresh as new. You forget about all the bad things that make you leave. Lost in Azeroth once again.

Key here is to take long breaks from WOW. It makes you appreciate the game once again.

I think if you remain a gamer after quitting wow, chances are high that you will come back. If you quit gaming for good, then well, good luck with some new adventure in your life.

I find it impossible to justify upgrading 10 accounts let alone 5.
if they wanted to eliminate multi boxers they have had success with me, they will be lucky if I buy one upgrade as it is. I don't even know if I'll waste the money or effort in moving characters around so I have the most to play with if I went solo.

I hate the WoLK questing and from all I have heard it's just more of the same in Cata. I may try Lord of the Rings... it's free.

After watching some of the vids and messing about on beta I think I'll hold off on boxing for a while, or at least until better boxers than myself show that all the gimick bosses can actually be beaten by a boxer. Even just doing heroic BRC looks like it could be an exercise in futility when it comes to boxing but I'll be quite happy to be proven wrong.

Since I have no real interest in PvP and am looking forward to progression raiding the new content I think the current heroic boss mechanics have taken away my desire to box for now.....add to that having all classes at 80 on my main account atm and I think with LFD I have enough content to last me for quite a while. I'll likely get back to boxing once they are 85'd and raid content is on farm status but think that would be the soonest.

We are talking Australia here.

EB dont lowertheir prices to account for exchange rate.

WoW Cata Normal is $58 AU

Digital Download is $39 US.

We are 97c in the dollar to the US.

The colelcters edition is estimated to be $150 AU

vs $79 US

i'm in Sydney and went to EB games (and a couple other shops, JB hifi / Dicksmiths ) and only EB had a 'tentative' price for preorder.
At the moment you can preorder the collectors edition for $108 (australian) and there is no price yet for the normal edition.
their 'guestimate' was 26/28 November, whereas JB told me Xmas.

I guess the normal edition will be around AU$70
which is still very steep considering we still pay every month

In Oz we get slugged over what the exchange rate is worth for the digital download, I'm guessing to keep retailers happy?.

For example when I bought the SC2 download, it was advertised on Battlenet for say $60 (I can't remember the exact price) but when it came to payment I was charged $90, way more then what the AU/US dollar exchange rate was at the time.

I can't see it being any different for this expansion either.

And staying on topic, I will be dual boxing away with my prot pally/hunter team, sticking to questing mainly as I love that side of the game. Not sure what will happen once I hit 85 of them, I'll be raiding on the prot pally while I might take them both into heroics. Time will tell I guess.

I am just hoping when Cata comes out, if will be buy cata and it will include all previous expansion. That way I don't need to buy 3 expansions if I want to make another new account.

If I play Cata, theres no chance I want to level my 4 shaman individually; I will definitely be leveling teamsof characters together, just like I did for 1-80.

You do realize with the new macro changes (which will probably be nerfed) its almost like we got /castrandom back in the form it used to be.

Boxers are OP right now for awhile anyways.

Most likely Warcraft/Blizzard will follow the Everquest/Sony model.

IE, The battlechest will include all previous content, except the current expansion.
So a new player purchases a Battlechest + the Current Expansion.
