    You can buy cards with gametime codes in stores.

    And how did your friends get screwed by Blizzard? Cancelling your subscription is a really painless procedure that takes no more than a minute.

    No idea, but the WOW website is generally pretty good with setting out what is required, I think they even have a Mac forum which might be of use

    Were they paying 6/12 months at a time? Because if you pay for 6 months and cancel after 2, all it means is it won't autorenew you, you'd still have normal access for the full 6 months you paid for.

    Now, if they were being charged but didn't have game access, then something would be up.

    Did they have a subscription for that many months? Because when you cancel it, you still have to pay for the time you said you would.

    You can download a Mac compatible version of WoW from the official site for free.

    Painless? Making that peon cry was heart wrenching!

    You might want to give FFXI another try.
    The end-game shells are much more relaxed about membership and epeen gear now, since there's a lot of old-timers (like me) who've seen most of their friends leave. It only takes a couple of XP parties or a mission to make new ones.
    Also the new expansion has a lot of stuff you can do solo or semi solo (and the last expansion, depending when you left). You may also be able to re-active your old chars, if you want.

    I see shouts asking for members for new shells all the time in Jeuno and Aht Urgan, you should be able to pick up a new family in no time (..and find out they're assholes, leave, find another one etc...).

    Aes.

    NB: I don't work for SqueeNix and have not been paid for this post, although I should have.

    I miss mine, as well. I played WoW since release but quit about four months ago due to the following reasons:

    - Lack of things to do when logging on
    - The stress of playing arena (trying to maintain 1900 2v2 as mage/rogue)
    - The elitist, shit talking morons that frequent the game
    - All my friends quitting

    Even with all that, I still get deep pangs of craving to play again, and I'm trying to hold it off. I'm waiting for WAR, but it won't be here for a long, long time.

    Give EQ2 a try, it's very similar in the way quests and progression work (if with a less inspired art design). Alternatively, give City of Heroes/Villains a spin, there's a 14 day trial and the game can be a lot of fun if you team with PA chaps.
