World of Warcraft Game Card reviews

This card is a good idea. My only issue with the game card (and the monthly subs) is that it would be good if you could "bank"the time you get from the card.

By this i mean, whenever you log into your account the amount of time left on the card decreases and stops when you log out. It's a shame this can't be done cos either way you pay for the gaming experience whether or not you are logged on.

I'd prefer to pay when i'm actually playing as you are losing (in terms of the $ and to a lesser extent – time) when your not, especially say for example you are away for “X” amount of days.

So if we look at it – for $1.40NZD per day (based on 31 days / $22.00 for a monthly credit card payment). It may not seem like much but if you were to calculate each day you didn't play by the cost (ie: 10 days in the month not spent playing = $14.00 you are charged for).

Stack this up per annum and it all adds up. I hate to bang on about the cost but i strongly feel that we should all be given the best value for the money where putiing up.

Food for thought.

For the obviuosly maths-poor people below…

This card give two months play-time for $NZD50. As of writing the dollar is worth $US0.53c so a one month subscription is over $NZD28/month and a three month sub is about $NZD26/month and a six month sub is about $NZD24/month.

Based on that it is worthwile getting the gamecard since it will save you money at this point in time. If the dollar heads back up to the 60c US mark then it stops being worthwhile again.

This card seems to cost more than if you used a credit card to purchase game time. A monthly subscription is around 22 NZ dollars.

Having said that this card has three advantages. You don't need to worry about exchange rates, you can give the cards as gifts and perhaps the most important thing is not having to worry about paying interest on your credit card.

An easy way to purchase game time if you don't have a credit card to use, like me.

It's worth paying for because, due to the current exchange rates, via credit card you will be paying $29.40 (roughly) for the game. Times that by two and you will be paying a lot more than the price of this card.

Exchange rates suck and I hate paying for game time I'm not using, I also hate having to pay twice as much as what the US pay. But that's just the way it is, and it's not going to change for two countries (Australia experience the same problem too).

I will have to disagree with mr. anonymus from Napier even though it's like NZ$22 per month when converted from US dollars and not everyone has a credit card. You're basically getting two months (of gameplay) for the price of one not counting the lil bit for packaging. basically kinda like a top up for your cellfone but it's for World of warcraft game.

worth it I give it a 5 out of 5 rating.

Great value if you dont have a Visa or a Debit Card! it comes with the card it self and some 10 trials for other games.

Not to mention the fact that people without Credit Cards can buy game time ^^

This card is excellent value for money. Because of the current economic crisis in the US my friend said he paid $27 NZD for his subscription this month. That's $81 for 60 days. This is only $50 for 60 days!

As I don't have a credit card (To young) it would be impossible to play this epic game. The card is easy to use on the website an a great system, thanks Blizzard. Thanks Mighty Ape for keeping things cheap and you are my number 1 choice when having a urge to buy something.

These cards are worth while and so easy and safe to use. They arrive as order from here. I use to by my cards at the local game store. But since the quake mighyape has become my one stop shop. As soon as i run out I'll be back here to by another card. Its worth the price paid for and so easy and safe to use.

Late delivery by my mistake only… Purchase went smoothly and delivery was as usual perfect

I guess it's the GST plus the usual price hike on anything bought in NZ, but this gamecard is the most expensive way to pay for your WoW sub. Still, it is dead easy and Mighty Ape ships it quickly with no fuss, and excellent tracking. Their customer support over the phone is also tops :-)

Being able to order when and at what time of day I want is a real plus. The price at MightyApe is always better than any retail shop. The price offer thorugh WoW site is always in US dollars. No matter what the rate-of-exchange is I've found MightyApe has the best price.

The World of Warcraft Game Card's are pretty useful for a few reasons. The first is that, even though it gives you two months worth of game time, it's cheaper than actually $15 USD (as of writing, that is converted to roughly) $30 NZD a month. So you're saving around $10*

The second is that the game time card is especially useful for those of you who either don't have a credit card, can't pay by credit card, or simply don't want to. And considering Mighty Ape accept PayPal, that makes the utility of them even better.

• Note that Blizzard support different subscription plans (like 6– and 12-month plans) which cost cheaper (per month) than going with a automatic monthly plan. Of course, the downside with such a plan if that you have to come up with the money upfront, which is why I prefer the game cards.

This is Ideal especially if your Unlucky with out a visa card, While reviews above point out good points just keep in Mind that While pay 14 dollars Your only paying a MONTH as with using this card gives you 60 days which that 2 months..

No matter how you look at it It does cost but then for whats it worth it could be like some other MMO that sells as good with Lag issues, Connection, disconnection etc regular than what it does offer.

Definetly a good idea, no messing about, safe and secure becuase its like topping up your vodafone account all you do is scratch the card and type in the number and you are away.
