Battlechest Disc was smashed to pieces. Authenticator refused to be destroyed so I threw it in the garbage.
Hey why did you ask about a spare microwave?

Microwaving electronics (safely of course) is really fun to do!

Perhaps, but I couldn't risk having it blow up in my face.

Multiboxing 5 characters is somewhat impractical and financially impossible for me right now. Dualboxing 2 characters could be doable, but with all I've considered (money, gear being obsolete in Cata's successor, fear of addiction), I don't know if it is worth it.

There's a bit of a cash investment, but compared to just about any other hobby... it's relatively cheap, considering the number of hours you can play.

If you're obsessive/compulsive, it could be addictive. Most play, because its fun and its quite different from everyday activities like working, school etc.

Only you can tell if its for you or not.

Cataclysm (like Wrath before it, and BC before that) is a complete gear reset. It puts everyone on an equal footing, which is good. Every dungeon is new, as are the pvp, talents, main spells, etc. But those who had tradeskills or gearing in Wrath, are probably much more organized and ready for Cataclysm. If you play Cataclysm for 2 years and are half smart, sure the next expansion is a gear reset but you might be going in with several million gold which is a bit of an advantage.

Only you can say if its worth your investment of time, cash and energy.

Are you laid off with tons of time on your hand, or working with no time? Got any internet related skills? I've helped more than a few peeps with ways to pay for MBing, it isn't that hard once you pick up a few internet skills.
