What WoW Does To People...

ReD_eYe - This guy gave the game, World Of Warcraft a whole new level. I found this article in yahoo games and I just want to share it with you guys out there:

Gamer juggles over 30 Warcraft characters


Meet the mad king of Azeroth.


By Ben Silverman

Think you play too much World of Warcraft?

Compared to "Prepared," you don't.

In a case of game addiction gone officially bananas, gaming blog Joystiq reports on what is surely the biggest Warcraft fan of them all. Known only under the moniker "Prepared," the gamer plays a stunning 36 World of Warcraft accounts on 11 different computers...simultaneously.

Stemming from a desire to manage raids -- large-scale gameplay sessions that typically require the teamwork of multiple players -- all by himself, the die-hard gamer seems undaunted by both the financial and lifestyle commitments to such a geeky endeavor.


"It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule," he writes. "Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft."

Like yachting, perhaps. And despite the downturn in the economy, Prepared can't wait to get his hands on the upcoming Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. "I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them." Word of Prepared's over-the-top addiction comes on the heels of the annual Blizzcon Convention, a fan-oriented celebration of the games created by Warcraft publisher Blizzard.

Well, thank God I am not like this guy. And thank God I don't play World of Warcraft. And even if I do and I came across him somehow in one of the WoW servers, I might PM him and say , "Dude you're crazy!" and then I logout. Don't want to get owned by all of his 36 characters simultaneously. But I got to say to have that much computers and monitors in my room would be awesome.
