So I Finally Tried WoW...

[Infinatex]

I've recently started playing (about 3 months now) and I have a level 74 Blood Elf Warlock and a level 19 Mage - both on Khaz'goroth (PvE). I'm loving it so far, doesn't take up too much of my life, in fact I haven't found it any more addictive to any other game.

Got to level 26 today - my brother-in-law has been power-leveling my sister and I with his level 80 Tauren warrior. I was psyched to get my mount - a raptor that I have named Trogdor (shut up, I know you can't really name your mounts).

The power-leveling is cool, but I definitely want to make another character that I can take at my own pace and, y'know, actually play, instead of hanging back while the 80 wipes out every mob for us. I'm thinking an Orc Warrior.

I actually just canceled my account yesterday after about 3 years. It was a good game while it lasted, but the new expansion doesn't interest me at all. Plus, my free time is starting to fade away since I'm not in college anymore. As far as gameplay goes, it's a really smooth, easy-to-learn game, possibly to a fault. But the clincher was that I just didn't care much about the lore. My advice to you is to find an active, social guild. Makes the game a lot of fun.

As for me, I'm chomping at the bit for The Old Republic...

Oh yeah... me too, my friend. The WoW is really just a warm-up of sorts for TOR

I want to be pumped for TOR, but I think I have become too attached to my WoW characters to leave them now! I think playing two MMOs will be too much considering I'm going to have to make time for hours of Black Ops too!

I've tried to play wow 3 separate times now. Still have yet to even hit 50. I just cant get into it

A person who starts a topic with "I tried WoW" that didn't end with "and it sucked"? This is such a breath of fresh air.
I play it, and except for a few parts I'm not fond of (no problem, there's WAY more to the game) I love it. Getting WoW was one of my better choices, I do not doubt.
I wouldn't say I've ever been addicted to the game, per se, but there was a point not too long ago when I would play quite a bit more than was probably good for me, even to bhe point where I would neglect some important things... like eating, and substituting showering for a little extra deoderant.
I made friends pretty quickly and I have a fair balance of playing alone and with others, nobody I know in real life, though.
I started playing near the end of '07, a human mage, and didn't make my first alt until about a year ago, a blood elf death knight.

I played, but I started play Warhammer Online and I am enjoying playing that. I quit WoW like a year or 2 ago now, all my friends from Vanilla pretty much quit so I lost interest and stopped playing.

I use to be addicted to the Mage class. There is just something really appealing about being able to keep my mana and health up with conjured food and water and being able to fire fireballs at my targets. I use to be pretty good at it to.

 

[Hiphophippo]

It's a great game. Crazy polished. As for my own characters, while I don't currently play I've got a...

80 Mage
80 Resto Druid
80 Death Knight (but I don't really like the class. Sadly I didn't figure that out until I was 80)

I'm anxious for Cataclysm to come out for sure though and will resub for that to see all the new stuff. I have an on/off again relationship with the game. While I really, honestly enjoy it, I can only do the same raid over and over so many times. So what's going to happen is I'm going to devour the Cataclysm content, cancel, wait for new stuff, resub, do it, rinse, repeat.

For me it's the Teleport spells. It reeeeaaaaally spoiled me. My mage was the first character I ever really made a stab at back in Vanilla and having those portals just made the other classes nearly unbearable. In fact, I didn't even play another one until I could get heirlooms and earlier mounts to make it faster.

 

[Irradiated Tiger]

I play a Human Paladin on Nordrassil. I've run alot of the endgame WotLK content so I'm taking a break from WoW until Cata or when I feel like hopping back on.

 

[GraegoriHauss]

I tried two different private WoW servers and got sick of the game when I realized everyone wants to play Horde; more specifically, everyone wants to play a Blood Elf Paladin. Woe betide anyone who picked any other class/race/faction. And no, I was not about to spend money on the Blizzard servers.

I went back to EVE, where the playing field is slightly (and I do stress that word) more level. At the very least, there are ways to avoid being ass-raped every 3 seconds.

When Stormwind is literally carpeted with skeletons, something is fundamentally wrong.

Ya, those were pretty sweet, granted though, my first attempt at WoW was an Orc Warrior during the launch of BC and I just got a port to Shathrah and made my home there. Then I just used the portals to get around.

But I will say, the ability to port anywhere without much of a cooldown wins hands down over a 30 minute wait to get from Orgrimar to Undercity without having to deal with the Zeppelin.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Good choice on troll shaman *fist bump* for the Horde!

It's not hard getting to level 20 or so within the first week of playing WoW now a days. It's level 40 lull that's the real test. It's where I stopped, but I'm planning to drop back into WoW for a little while after Cataclysum to see if they've made this section of the game more fun.

Ah, well, that makes plenty sense then. As an old school vanilla mage it felt like cheating the system. Sometimes I'd even go to zepplin ports and teleport myself to the other town while laughing at all the people "slumming it".

 

[Something Amyss]

Never did it for me, but I can get why people are into it.

The mages are a little more balanced on the Alliance side. I mean, I understand that both sides have two different factions developing their technology, but would it have killed the Goblins to put in a faster and more effecient counter to the Deeprun Tram? Preferably one that doesn't leave me waiting several minutes for my ride.

tried it once, but i was pretty bored after about half an hour..
maybe it's more fun to start up with a friend, but i'm just not that much into multiplayer
but judging the game by itself..
meh
