So I thought I'd give it another go after so long and the hype behind Cataclysm.

But from what I can find on the web it's a stand alone expansion, you still need the others.

How ironic, it's cool to hate SOE as greedy, but if I remember correctly when you bought a new EQ expansion it included the previous ones.

Don't know if you're too late, but there was a sale for all the core game and the expansions minus Cataclysm for around $30.00 US.


Good deal if you can still get it.


Edit: Apparently, it was actually $15.00 US, but that deal's flown the coop.

Those greedy ****s expecting you to get the expansion packs for the level 60-80 content before purchasing the 81-85 content.

FYI: The expansion were/are on sale for $5 each in the blizzard store.

Edit to add: Just checked and it's no longer on sale for $5.

No, at least not during the first 3 expansions. They may have gone that way eventually because they had so many. They did usually offer some sort of 'chest' where you could buy the earlier ones for a lot less than the original cost but they weren't included for free up thru SOL (Shadows of Luclin) at least.

Personally, I find it difficult to complain about the cost of MMOs. Compared to other forms of entertainment that you have to pay for, MMOs are quite reasonable.

If you're starting fresh why not just buy classic wow, play to 60 THEN worry about buying expansions as you go. You still get to play all the 1-60 cataclysm content without the expansion.

If you're not starting fresh...well...yeah.

yea that's the rub, wanted to come back to try the new race from 1 until I need the next expansion, but according to what I read I can't even do that without all the previous expansions.

$109 to see if I like the changes is kinda steep.

Another quick question I was on Elune with a 34 Paly, should I bother? I logged in and its dead around Tarren Mill. I assume since it's an old server most people are well beyond me

Leveling is so fast, it doesn't matter how far behind you are. You will be up to speed in no time. If you already have an account, you shouldn't need to buy the old ones anyway. They are tied to an account. The only way you should need to buy ALL the expansions is if you don't currently have an account at all.
