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.

I'm a major MMO fan, but WOW made me want to kick a puppy. Gawd, that game sucks.

I bailed on my single account, can't imagine the agony of 36 of them.

It says he has 11 computers. I can't quite work out how he can play 36 accounts at once...

I think that I found a picture of him

[RevellingInSane]

Exactly how does he pay for all this? I am betting those computers are set up in Mom's basement and he uses his allowance to cover it.

Loser.

*Ahem*


NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




That is all.

[witchcurlgirl]

all i can picture is that fat guy from the south park 'world of warcraft' episode

[NicoleWasHere]

Butters, go to the computer store, buy World Of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and experience the magic before we murder you.

Oh geez, what a geek haha!

I admit to being a warcraft player since the first one came out, but I took one look at WoW and farted in it's face. The game looks stupid and I hate the idea of having to play to keep using a game. Only online things I play are every now and then on the PS3, I can't imagine spending all day on the computer and thinking my character is real.

This guy is an A-class dweeb.

Ah .. Booger, Poindexter & what's his name...

My ex had 5 accounts and it took up all of his fucking time. I couldn't imagine this guy actually having a job/life.

[BoogsBun]

Shh...I totally love this game. I only have one account though.

I ran two accounts for Ultima Online back in the day, played Everquest and now play Guild Wars once in a while. No interest whatsoever in WoW, although my husband plays. (One account thanks). I figure it's cheaper than drinking and I know where he is, it helps if both parties in the relationship are gamers.

This is freaking insane though, but it's his life, his money. And I picture the South Park guy too!
