http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/gamer-juggles-over-30-warcraft-characters/1255554Think 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.
This guy is out of his mind

That's pretty crazy, I think it's cool how he's gonna be there at the opening, and buy 36 copies... all for himself. Well, I don't really mean cool as I do nerdy, but you get it.

Ok but honestly damn. Why does he feel the need to have 1 man raiding parties? I guess this way he can only blame himself if something goes wrong lol
