I haven’t played any PC games for years, the last time I remember having a great time was playing Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne with my officemates at HeadStrong over two years ago. With the introduction of WoW, my excitement to gaming has gone back to its original level. But alas, no wow. 
WoW has been out for so long and there have been a lot of news about a companies getting the license for it here in the Philippines but until now there’s been no sign of World of Warcraft anywhere. *geez* What’s wrong? Is the license too steep? Are the server/hardware requirements too pricey? Political turmoil? National security? What???
I know the subscription fee in the US is around $29.95 per month (~Php1,600) so it’s not that expensive if you compare it to Khan or Ragnarok Online.
What’s taking them so long?
Oh wait, are the guys running that MMOG farm in Cebu connecting directly into US servers?

WoW will never be officially available in the Philippines. The servers themselves are not licensed to companies like other MMOs. They are directly controlled by Blizzard. It is a quality control thing.
What you can do however is create an account with a US or EU credit card and address. Perhaps you have a relative? Once your account is created, you can connect from anywhere, even the Philippines. I have a few friends who do that.
The subscription fee is around 12-16 dollars depending on how long you sign up for.
Good luck. If you do get on, come by Magtheridon.
My character name is Redux.
I thought LevelUp! already has a grip on the WoW license?
yeah, news was going around that Level up was lobbying to get the WoW license here,
And the news is they don’t seem to be able afford it. I have also heard it would be Level-Up and Mobius combined.
Anyway I am tempting you into this. I got friends who said the game is really cool!

Its very very expensive, AMDG went for Guild Wars instead of World of Warcraft, LevelUp has RFOnline. Honestly it would be successful, but there’s probably not any company not willing to risk that much money yet. Perhaps because the competition is too saturated. Eventually someone will do it soon, but I think AMDG chose right with Guild Wars because it plays better on lower end computers compared to World of Warcraft. Also the no monthly fee helps it though really monthly fees would be no problem here if they made a way with prepaid cards.
Well dude its like this inorder for you to get WoW here in the philippines you need to look for a company who can afford to get blizzard to make servers for us here. And i’ve heared that in doing so a company or some1 muz be able to win an auction that blizzard/blizcon will give. And considering that there are only 1 legit server other than the US means that the starting bid would be so high that not all high-end companies can do so bid.
And yes they are doing the Quality Control thing.
And i cant confirm what my friend said that blizzard made a Korean server juz for koreans.
and yes there were rumors about who will bring WoW in the philippines. But even if WoW will be here in the phil i dont think i’ll be playing the servers here i’ll still stick to US. Just look at the other Online Games arround look wat happend. Do you think that won’t happen to WoW if it ever comes here?
And i dont think the competition is saturated i’d believe that no Company can take the risk of spending SO MUCH and wud be able to gain it back in a couple of months.
The monthly fee’s in US its 15$ per month i duno bout UE but if you do the math its arround 840 more or less.
Think about it…Do you really think Blizzard would juz give away WoW Servers. Dun think so.. ^_^
I have relatives in the Philippines who play WoW on the Doomhammer (U.S.) server. Their accounts are paid for with an American credit card, but they have no problem connecting to and playing the game.
Companies are in talks with blizzard but it seems like its too expensive, like bidding price would be like $2M and additional $3M for setting it up. I’ve been playing wow for like 4 months and has like 2 lvl 60 toons already. This game rocks, but I dont really know if people here can afford it.
