The Daily Grind: What’s the biggest MMO impulse purchase you’ve ever made?

Very dynamic.

One holiday season, I was playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. There was a sale for cartel coins running. I decided to buy in (there was a more elaborate reason at the time, I’m sure, but I can’t recall what it is) and figured the best use of these was to do some stronghold unlocking. After all, I’m going to be playing this game for a while! This is a good chance to set up roleplaying hubs!

Turns out that isn’t what wound up happening. (They were good house layouts, though.)

Obviously, this was not a huge purchase; we’re talking something like $60 down the drain on a whim rather than Star Citizen-style used-car prices. But the point isn’t the size alone so much as the fact that it was an impulse purchase. I hadn’t planned on it, but it happened just the same. So what about you, dear readers? What was your biggest MMO impulse purchase? Was it a set of in-game items, an entire game, or even Kickstarting a title you might later have regretted?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
