They keep talking about the $5,200.00 a year subscription fees but the guy must have nearly 10 times that much in hardware. Probably more.

Ill bet its some punk whom got a big inheritance and is pissing it away.

One of the reasons why I stay of MMOs. It'll go out of hand rather easy. That bloke REALLY needs some help....

Nay,stay away fellow submariners, try this instead:

I've tried several MMO's. There's only TWO that I fell in love with... Ultima Online (Name another MMO where you can build and deccorate your own house, and then go with your guild to the most sinister level of the most evil dungeon, set up tables, and have a bake sale !)
and City of Heroes (Superheroes !!!! And this game just keeps on improving !! They're even putting in an editor for players to build their own missions for people to run through now)

World of Warcraft I tried and just couldn't get into it. Eve Online which is supposed to be THE AWESOME, I found to be VERY clunky in the interface and I had the same issue with Dungeons & Dragons Online as well.

This guy is NUTS if he is to be believed in the first place (and I have my doubts).

And you wonder why I don't care for Blizzard products? They gouge you and this guy is proof.

I wonder what this guy does for a living? Seems he has a lot of time on his hands. Probably rich parents.

How about the next Starcraft? You have to buy it three times! You can bet I'll be reluctant to support that kind of BS.

Dualboxers or Dual boxing is the term used for what this guy is doing, iv seen that before, the guys a System administrator so he probably just sits around waiting for something to break down so why not play wow. The server im on in wow i see a few dual boxers running around but never 36 its usually 4 to 8 characters.

Thing is you got to be pretty much onto it to run 36 characters. All At Once!. At least he wont worry about finding a raid group or getting pvped while questing, no one in their right mind would take on 36! lol.

Dont know the american $ but wonder how much it costs him each month to run 36 accounts!
