I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

I'm more surprised that this game is still running. I haven't heard of anyone playing it in years.

It's not the same amount as its heyday, but it's still the most popular MMO. Hell i picked it up last expansion after not playing it for ten years and still have a good time, for now.

I will never buy this mount though. I refuse to pay more for a game that costs money to buy and a sub to play. What's unfortunate is you can really tell blizzards priorities now. Content is severely lacking, every patch has quite a few bugs, and it really feels like they have a skeleton crew working on the game while milking the remaining population. And so many people are totally okay with that. If there was at least another decent MMO out there I'd drop wow and play it. But the MMORPG space is sorely lacking.
