Frankly, I didn't knew that it was so cheap, nor that Blizzard was so desperate to sell it. Shocked

Also are selling the panda expansion for 10 € (from 34.99), a discount above 70%, even more despair can be seen here.

Free to play is clearly looming on the horizon...

I can't but wonder how far is EVE from those dire waters.

And in case you wonder why do i know that WoW is on offer, they're announcing it on The Mittani.com Lol

Probably true. Maybe I would had played it if it had been available 20 years ago, but my steps never have taken me that way.

In a way, it is sad to see a giant bend its knees. Specially because "our" game goes next in the row.

Well CCP is kinda odd, they just fired almost all of WOD´s staff some days ago (in Xmas eve).

Honestly they should bring DUST to PC, I don´t see them getting into the console population segment market with DUST anyway, and I know DUST was/is their attempt to grab another population segment and they dont want to divide the player base by bringing it to PC, but really, DUST is turning into that.

I don´t think EVE will die (if ever), but I really think CCP needs something new to revitalize it and a p2win cash store here will only alienate the hardcore playerbase so I only see it happening if they are just extremely desperate.

I once installed a new graphics driver that had put a URL shortcut to a WoW trial account sign up page on my desktop.

I had a short panic attack wondering if I had done something in my sleep I didn't remember.

I am happy to pay for eve, and if they did a proper xpac for it (with more space or a graphics overhaul, and a few other major changes along with, lots of minor changes.) I would happily pay for it. CCP needs to do something to bring in newer players though, and i dont know what that is :/

If you look closely at the special holiday acceptance icons it does say 'item purchased from online store' or 'web store' or something like that Ugh

I liked WoW PvP more than I like EVE PvP, but I like EVE Online overall more than I ever liked WoW.

WoW is a game that was fun during it's time and, if taken to "that level", can be quite challenging - or at least, used to be.
