There's no single player mode. It requires an internet connection, the faster the better. The costs are here. There's also a free 10-day trial

 

Great, now I'm an enabler...

 

EDIT: Self-loathing and destruction of social life are included in the price.

13 bucks for a 6-month subscription after one free month. Not bad! And dial-up does work right?

 

You have to actually BUY the game for like ~$50 as well. I wouldn't go anywhere near any online game with dial up. Try the free trial.

 

And it's 13 bucks a month for 6 months.

Can you suggest a REALLY good game for either PC or PS2, then? Or Wii.

 

Sure, there's a whole bunch of them here.

 

Also check out Good Old Games.

 

If you want something on the PS2, get Shadow of the Colossus it's a bit artsy, but NeoGAF really loves it. As for the Wii, Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii.

Galaxy is OK, i borrowed it from a friend and beat it. Any good Strategy or RPG will work.

 

 

 

:woot: TSL!!!!!! It has everything I want on the PC version! RPG elements, replayability, and mods out the wazoo!!!!!! How did I not think of it sooner?!??!?!?!??!

You may want to start some sort of journal or maybe carry around a voice recorder to save all those precious monologues you have with yourself.

Don't WoW 'free trials' feature 10 Gig downloads of updates nowadays?

 

Don't ask me. Trying to play anything online with dial up is like a damn death sentence.

If you have time to kill, WoW isn't bad at all. It's really something you wanna try at least once (especially since it's still in its time where it has a lot subscribers.)

I thought Dial-up was a myth. And ancient legend. Something the kids feared when going to bed. But now you guys have shown me its actually still real, today.

 

 

... What the hell?

They're smaller, free and mostly buggier servers run by other people than Blizzard. Still, you're better off never ever touching WoW.

You'll never even download the updates for WoW. Even a simple 1 Gig update will take like 40h assuming the maximum speed.

 

Seriously online gaming and dial-up don't mix. Try some nice single player strategy games or something.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure the private servers are illegal.

Yes, it is illegal. Which is why I didn't link to anything.
