World of Warcraft's holiday sale includes $10 sparkleponies

@PhelimReagh They've had this for the past 3-4 years. Nothing new.

I started playing WoW less than 3-4 years ago, and paid $20 for Vanilla when I first signed up, $30 for the Burning Crusade and then $40 for Wrath. So you're kinda full of it.

@PhelimReagh Wow man, rude much? I've bought a new copy of WoW around this time for the past 4 years for $5 bucks to fool around with multiboxing. These sales aren't anything new. Just because you didn't happen to take advantage of them doesn't mean they didn't exist.

@Talutha Except this is a Blizzard offer, not something you'd find on Amazon. Has this sort of deal ever existed? Probably. Was it a deal from Blizzard directly? No.

@drunkingamebar

Blizzard had a sale last holiday season with vanilla, BC for $5 each and Wrath of the Lich King for $10.

@Vanir Aye, but fact is they are losing subs in droves. Losing grip on fans, and pushing more product for less will win some subs back. Of course they have millions of subscribers, but it doesn't look good when they are losing 100k overnight. When a product goes from 120+ USD @ the local Wal-Mart, down to 35 USD chance is things are looking bad.

@Budukahn
Having played both SW:TOR and WoW in the last few weeks, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that WoW feels more fresh. Just my opinion.

@Mynsc Heh, in all sincerity, what are you smoking? :P

Nods, WoW hasn't been fresh in years. Cata has been a disaster for Bliz. My prediction, WoW loses another million subs this quarter.

@Mynsc
More fresh? WoW is the most screwed up game out there.

The "redesigned" old world was only half redesigned. All the "don't take this out of the game" whining has led to a schizophrenic feeling where half of the quests and content is old and makes no sense whatsoever in a post Cataclysm timeline.

The story is all but gone from the game. Bosses never die. They are even talking about bringing Illidan back. With nothing the players do ever having an effect, because let's face it, "[blank] was merely a setback", it's nearly impossible to feel a part of it. Especially when all you do is sit around Org/SW constantly waiting for a queue to pop.
