well… not sure bout the price… but here’s some news. They are not gonna set up a dedicated server here in singapore despite our overwhelming number of players. aka… WOW for us singaporeans will be laggy.

spaded SG

heard that there will be an asian server. up against the japs, taiwanese and blah.

my friends are playing the US version. $107 SGD for the game package not including the monthly fees.

expensive ah~ *waits patiently for asian server*

sgboy2004 SG

still got montly fee???

BeEtHoVeN SG

got world of warcraft already Mr. Green
a game that i will not miss for a million $

my advise is that although the asian servers will be less laggy, but the koreans and chinese will converse in their language, u will feel left out if u are not well-versed in their language....
for WoW, u need teams, soloing won't take u too far Wink

BeEtHoVeN SG

the monthly fee is about $60 per 2 months

CyanSupra SG

lol.....
no wonder lah.......
saw that game on sim lim square......( on the Lcd screen)
one of the shops think 4th floor

spaded SG

that's the reason why my friends chose the US version instead

asian server can bond with fellow sgreans also! Mr. Green

BeEtHoVeN SG

i got quite a number of singaporeans inside us servers, if u are interested, pm me, i will tell u the name of the server

faithblade SG

Just a few questions BeEtHoVeN, how many singaporeans are there in the US server and how do you guys find time to play with the rest of the mericans as we live in different time zones?
I play NWN and no matter how many servers I go to, I face the problem of getting up in the middle of the night just to find the right team or the right players awake.

BeEtHoVeN SG

i can't be sure about the figures seriously ... but u will be able to find singaporeans inside the game, that is the best answer i can say ....
no matter wat time u log in, u will be able to find ppl to play with u, make more frens if u need .. after all, WOW is all about playing with other people ...
make the first move, and u will be able to make a lot of new frens inside Smile
for NWN, there may be a difference, I have never play before, so i can't judge ... hope it helps u

True_Xerion SG

... not really leh, i get abt 340-450 ping usually & it's fine for me so far. Usually what lags for me is AH ..... & even the US ppl lag when it's peak hour at the AH, so there! Very Happy

Last I heard the game won't be officially launched in SG. the asian servers will be dedicated to the Koreans(yea who else) and the Chinese because they have the biggest market in Asia.

I'd suggest getting the US retail versions from online retail outlets and join up on a US server. The lag isn't all that bad, on Starhub Cable i'm getting an average of 300-500ms latency which is almost negligible when playing.

Plus most of us are english speaking so we'd be a bit more comfortable with US & Aussie players than Koreans. Laughing

m)phosis SG

warcraft nice meh? play gunbound la... nicer.. haha Mr. Green

p1ll0w SG

Ive been playing Wow the moment it launched. I can tell you its a good game but not a perfect.

For example, there's problem of lag and also getting ganked if your playing in pvp servers, etc etc.

I am watching the game's development and see if its worth the $$$ to continue. FYI, its like SGD$25 per mth.

Actually, 60days game time card is based on the duration of time you play; it's not based on days/months. Let's say if you play world of warcraft for like 3 hours a day. So, 60days of playtime will last about 8months if I'm not wrong. But, if you play 24hours a day, you will only play for 2 months .

I know that because I'm playing World of Warcraft for 3 months with a 60days prepaid card.

BeEtHoVeN SG

yup, i am facing the problems of the server crashing due to overload .. imagine going to AH and seeing nobody there Exclamation
for the part about pvp servers, it is pvp, so u can't really complain Mr. Green

BeEtHoVeN SG

u sure about that ? man, den i will save a lot of money Mr. Green

Bronze SG

Actually, All MMORPGs' payment are based like that. I play DAoC too and I paid for 6 months and it lasted for 2 and a half years. Smile For your information, for those who use the prepaid card, 60days prepaid cards last about 6 months average, but, the 30 days free after creating an account will be counted as days/month. So, you better play allot for 30says cuz after 30 days, you will be using your real money to play the game. Not to fret though, a game time card can last pretty long. Wink

p1ll0w SG

I dont want to commit 6 months so long..i’d wait and see how blizzard behaves after getting all the purple loot from us ($$$$$). See if they become SOEish or otherwise.
