Lifetime Champions Online Membership is a Steal at $200

As much as I want to understand why people pay monthly fees for games that don’t exactly have an ending, I probably never will until I get addicted myself. That’s not going to happen for a few more years at least when the Warhammer 40,000 MMO or the Fallout 3 MMO comes out. I have a friend you see, an avid MMO player in the World Of Warcraft, let’s call him Bevan Urkey. I’ve done a bit of MATHS and after figuring the $15 spent monthly…Mr. Urkey has spent over $600 on this game so far and probably won’t stop for some time to come.

What does this all have to do with the title of this blog? I’ll tell you. Champions Online will only cost you a one-time fee of $200 to play as long as the servers are up and running. At first glance I thought that this was an insane amount of money for anyone to spend on one game, that is, until I did my previously said math. It now seems like this is actually a hell of a deal. I guess it all just depends on how long the servers for CO stay online.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
