Another end of a year, another review post.
And another post where my editor view with many list items is broken and I have not found a solution – but at least the final post looks normal.
What I played a lot:
- World of Warcraft (January through November)
- Guild Wars 2 (October – December)
- EVE Online (first half of the year)
Other games I played:
- Diablo IV
- SWTOR (roughly May to October, but less than the others)
- Final Fantasy XIV
Gaming expenses in 2025:
- WoW: 78 EUR
- 6 months of subscriptions,
- 6 months via tokens for ingame gold
- Guild Wars 2: 150 EUR
- no subs, but had to buy all 4 expansions I was missing. 3 on sale (20, 15, 20 EUR) and the ultimate of the latest – Visions of Eternity (75 EUR)
- 20 EUR for additional gems for the holiday sale
- EVE Online: 165 EUR
- bought some PLEX in July, resubscribed all accounts for the rest of 2026, so actual spend for 2025: 0
- SWTOR: 78 EUR
- 6 months of subscription
- FF XIV: 12 EUR
- one month of subscription
By subscribing my EVE accounts for all of 2025 already in 2024 I kinda didn’t feel the need to buy anything, but at some PLEX sale I got stuff to pay for 2026. Again, it’s complicated bookkeeping and I hate it.
Summary:
- Amount of MMOs played: 5
- Amount of MMO subscriptions paid: 6 (WoW) + 6 (SWTOR) + 1 (FFXIV) + 36 (EVE) = 49
- Amount of games purchased: 0
- Amount of MMO expansions purchased:
- Amount of money for in-game currency: 185 EUR
- Amount of free games I didn’t play: didn’t grab so many
- Amount of games I purchased and then didn’t play: 0, I think
So the total comes down to 483 EUR, that’s 40 EUR per month – not a lot.
