WoW... that's a lot of dosh to play a game
JOYSTIQ has tracked down a bloke who by most people's standards plays a wee bit too much of the fantasy game World of Warcraft,
Known by the moniker 'Prepared', the bloke plays through 36 World of Warcraft accounts on 11 different computers at the same time.
It seems that the bloke got obsessed with the fact that every time he tried to organise a decent raid the other players let him down by not obeying orders correctly. His idea was to create a team that actually did what it was told.
To manage this level of control it costs him $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the six month payment schedule.
He said that he looks at WoW as a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there. Yep yachting, space tourism and organising coups in third world countries would be more expensive we guess.
When the upcoming WoW expansion, Wrath of the Lich King hits the shops he will buy 36 copies of it. Which will add about $1,500 to the cost of his 'hobby'. ยต

$5000+ cost, small change when ya figure how much farmers can make by rippin off there *cough employees, hes probably got a warehouse full of 'bots' too that they dont know about, his characters will have names like "ugfitdiotyiu" and "ghdkghfilyg;u" etc etc, you get the idea ??? :O)

Saw it a few days ago. Kinda cool that's it's possible.

However nothing I'd like to do. One account is more than enough for my taste.
The link below is one i found on the 12th Oct. The player's name is "Bradster" http://www.ripten.com/2008/10/10/wow-whore-has-36-accounts-raids-by-himself/

Get with the times! :)

And his girlfriend commented.. " " To which he replied, "what's a girlfriend?!?!" A hobby is something you do in your spare time, not something that consumes one's life. That's called an obsession (otherwise known as an illness). Anyone who doesn't believe in "internet addiction" take note.
"It seems that the bloke got obsessed with the fact that every time he tried to organise a decent raid the other players let him down by not obeying orders correctly. His idea was to create a team that actually did what it was told." 

I wonder if he has considered giving better orders?

A total loser. Get a life. Seriously.
He plays on my server and is quite irritating. The tech he uses to do this is called multiboxing. And a lot of people would say that it's an unfair advantage. Many tickets have be made for the admins to deal with it. But does anyone really think Blizzard is going to tell this guy and his $5,800 to burger off, just to keep us happy? Nope. They take the money every time.
Yep, If I started back into wow, She would leave me. I wouldn't want it any other way since thats a pretty good way to kill any cravings for WoW or Warhammer online.
