&lt;p&gt;After doing a good amount of research (based on $ instead of time) i have found that: (american prices through paypal)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(below 60)&lt;/strong&gt; you would be paying 1$ / lvl on average.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(60-70) &lt;/strong&gt;approx. 23.99$&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(70+) &lt;/strong&gt;12$/lvl &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;when you compare this to the earnings of min. wage (8.75 /hr CAN) / (approx 7.1 /hr US) you notice that the time you would be playing is FAR less than the time you would spend at work eg 1hr of work could get you 7 lvls compared to 1hr of play which could get you 7 bars :P&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this is just my two cents as wow is increasingly growing pwr lvling will never go away so whats your opinon yay or nay? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;so how bout you fellow bloggers what compells you to play mmorpgs? the need to socialize or the need to pwn?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=370391" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>mgd40</name><uri>http://my.curse.com/members/mgd40.aspx</uri></author><category term="wow rpg mmorpg" scheme="http://my.curse.com/blogs/mgd40/archive/tags/wow+rpg+mmorpg/default.aspx" /></entry></feed>
