To Present and Past WoW Players

[CovertCell]

Been playing on and off for over a year. Still havent reached 80 but I'm close. I just like the fantasy setting, can't play FPS games all the time.

 

[AshuraSpeaks]

I miss it allot.
I just wish i had a level 29 hunter that i could take to the bg's

*cough* There's a way to cement your level for 10g, although I recommend having a non-cemented player just in case you don't want to grind your 29 Hunter trying to get 10g again.

It's cool, i hate a level 80 druid friend on that server and a 79 mage... and the hunter in question is level 51 now.
But i quit a while ago, but i want back.

I quit a year ago, and am really glad I did.
I wont go back for anything.
It wasn't fun anymore.
It was slowly eating away my life bit by bit.

I want to start again.I just don´t want to waste 14 bucks a month on it.

I don't feel like giving it another try anyday soon. I stopped playing because my friend got banned for some reason, and all my other playing friends thought it wasn't fun anymore. So there I was, all alone and without my triple-experience-bonus I had gotten so used to. It just wasn't fun anymore...

Is 15 bucks per month really a waste when some people spend up to 60 bucks on one game that takes a few hours, or perhaps a whole weekend at best, to beat and forget?

It is allot when you have no income,are 15 and don´t have a credit card.

 

[lvl9000_woot]

I quit because I didn't have enough friends that played when I did. Also, I had a girlfriend then but since I don't now I might start playing again for the hell of it.

 

[minidevil921]

I did quit and then i did it secretly again I just can't quit now I've been clean for 1 year tryen to keep it up... i was level 79 *sniff*

OP: I know exactly what you mean. I played at launch, got to like level 30ish quit. came back, rolled a new toon got to like 16, quit. Went back about a year ago for a third time. had my account active for about 3 months and played probably ten hours. There is some odd x factor about that game that you keep wanting to go back. But for me every time i go back i remember why i left. Perhaps it is the the whole art scheme and style of it, the deep seeded love i have for the original warcraft series, the massive community, an always changing world, it's just an overall topnotch RPG fantasy world. But i digress. It's just not for me. I don't really know why exactly, i mean i could sit here and list thigns that annoy me about it, but i've played other games for worse reasons. idk. If i had to rationalize it i would say it takes too much commitment. It's rare that i have 6+ hours at a time to sit down, gather a team and run quests.

 

[RanD00M]

I dunno, I've had a part-time job when I was 15 =P.

I've been meaning to get a saturday job.Just haven't talked to the employers.

I use to play WoW a couple years ago but eventually I left after growing tired of it. But WoW isn't really a game you can forget easily. With constant patches and expansions gamers are usually bombarded with imagery and news on this game. Sometimes I do miss playing. I was just wondering if past players also feel like giving the world of warcraft another try. If you don't play anymore, why did you leave? If you still play what keeps you playing?

I don't play much cause after a couple (7-10000) hours of end game play you get bored. But they just released 3 new dungeons and 2 new raids which are pretty awesome so I still play. And alts are more fun to make now.

The only thing that really keeps WoW players playing, is the fact that the game is a disease. Most players accept the fact that it's sadly the best MMO that's been made, and hasn't be surpassed by anything else yet. Most of the players just spend their time sitting in a trade channel in any random city, and spend their time trying to flame people that are easily flamed. The people that are fortunate enough to quit and stay quit shouldn't want to play again, there's many more promising ways to spend your money. There may be a lot to do, but you'll still find yourself doing the same things over and over, just to gain a fake feeling of accomplishment. The fact that the game gets easier with every patch doesn't help it, that just means the players that have no business being where good players are, are going to be there anyway. There's probably a lot of people that would disagree with this, but that makes them WOW PLAYERS.

People like you make me want to keep playing, because you've obviously never played the game, and nothing you said was true, aside from the flamers in trade chat, but those exist all over the internet, not just in WoW.

Or people with brains and actual experience from WoW.

Easier and easier you say? Strange, wouldnt that mean I could run into the new instance that came out yesterday with gear from, maybe, three or four patches ago? And that WOULDNT guarentee certain death?

Touche and point well taken. I think I'd be a basketcase if I was living through this era of video gaming in my teens with minimal income. It was bad enough back when I was growing up....(I'll not saw when. Let's just say that I used to load Zork with a tape and the computer magazine my father got included new games in the form of written code in BASIC you could type in to play the game. Oh my god those days sucked)

I quit about 3 months ago because I messed up some of my I.P. settings and wasn't sure how to reset them. Then after a while I realised that I didn't really want to play again (I had a level 80 blood elf protection paladin) so I just gave my friends my username and password to play with it. I'm more into modern warfare 2 and assassin's creed 2 now. And I prefer being able to just stop playing a game when I've got other commitments or other things to do. In WoW I used to have to play when I didn't want to because my guild needed me.

I played for awhile, but I quit because I could never find a group for instances, and I only ever played PvP and instances, soloing the quests didn't interest me at all, some were fun though, but I only really did them when I was waiting for a group.

But I read the new patch has inter-server instance grouping, so I'm reinstalling as I type to see if I like it any more. Plus I can get help from my friends who didn't quit.
