I recently happened upon a privately made program which will automatically play my World of Warcraft characters for me. I have actually managed to level a character all the way up to 70 on Blizzard's pay-to-play servers (Illidan, to be exact) and the /played on that character is at a total of 8.5 days.
Lets do some math:
COSTSBot Program ($20.00 + $5.00/month)
World of Warcraft CD Key ($29.99/account)
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade CD Key ($19.99/account)
REVENUESLevel 70 World of Warcraft Account ($180/account minimum from
http://www.buymmoaccounts.com)Ok, so that's start-up fees of $20 for the program (only need one) and a cost of $50/account. That makes profit/account $130.00. Since you can only run one instance of World of Warcraft at a time per computer, you could get 3 - 4 characters to 70 per computer, per month. So that's $390 - $480 of profit per month per computer.
The reason I'm trying to get input is because next week a certain store has a certain special offering World of Warcraft keys for $9.99 and I'm thinking I should buy a shitload and minimize my costs..........................
Remember, I have all the computers and enough people/time to do this, but do you guys think it will be profitable? Not sure.
