The title pretty much sums it up..
How much money did you spend on GW products?
This includes campaigns, additional slots or accounts.. you can even include T-shirts and life size inflatable dolls of Cynn..

Too bad I can't post a poll, oh well..

Anyways, I came out relatively cheap having Prophecies and NightFall, for a total of about $120.

About $100. $25 on Prophecies, $25 on Factions, $20 on Nightfall, $20 on Eye of the North. Plus $8 or so in sales tax.

Math time:

Proph: Present, bought by dad - 40$

Factions: 40$

Factions CE Edition: 70$

GotY Upgrade: 5$

Nightfall CE Edition: 70$

GW:EN (from the overpriced as shit online store): 40$

So 220$, 260$ if I had payed for Proph.

@Jetdoc: Holy shit, I got jipped. I'm moving to Texas.

Prophs - £10
Factions - £15
NF - £20
EotN - £20
Eotn + NF preorder bonus things - £7
2 Char Slots - £12

Soooo that'd be £84, which with my play time so far is approximately 3p an hour.

Bargain.

Edit: Man we brits get rinsed on prices compared to you lot.

I made it my policy not to buy chapters the day it was released...I generally waited a month or so for (1) the bugs to be worked out and (2) the promotional prices to kick in, which were generally $15 to $20 off the normal retail price.

It's worked like a charm. I'm actually peeved that a month after I bought EotN, Target started carrying it for $9.99.

Prophecies - 50$ online store at release day
Factions - ~35$ (not in dollars, exchange rate from 2006) incl. preorder and shipping
Nightfall - ~35$ (not in dollars, exchange rate from 2006) incl. preorder and shipping
EoTN - 40$ online store
3 extra slots - 30$

So it's 8k hours over 38 months of gameplay for around 190$ total (although dollar prices changed a lot over the years), ~2.3 cent per hour, sounds like an awesome deal, and it's only getting better with time.

I probably paid full price on most of the stuff too.

Primary account: Proph CE, Proph GotY, Factions CE, Nightfall CE, EoTN, BMP, +20 slots = way too much money....

Smurf account 1: Proph, Factions, Nightfall, Eotn, + 4 slots = too much

Smurf account 2: Proph, Factions, Nightfall

Total $$ = around $700 maybe
