WoW == too much time consumed, I play games only casually nowadays.

Any comment on quality?
Personally I always buy cheapish. Went to my builder's house the other day - he had paid £100 for a top of range microwave last year and now it is broken. I paid £25 3 years ago and its still going strong.
I hate the idea of throwing things away after a few years - both environmentally and cos I am tight!
We also have an IKEA sofa bed - which is very good. I have a very bad back so am very sensitive to my chairs. I need lots of support.

Maybe it is just our local branch that is good? BTW it is Sidcup.

1) recession hits hard
2) people cut down on unnecessary expenditure (this means everything apart from food, booze, morgage)
3) WoW loses players - lots of them: they will be too busy looking for work IRL rather than for gold there
4) Blizzard reduces expenditure on the game and finally shuts down servers
There you have it - you heard it here first!
