Several of your statements are biased, unsupported and completely false.
-Blizzard made much more then 2 games. WoW is infact, the 6th installment of the warcraft series.
-The average age of wow players is 29 years according to blizzard's own statistics.
-The graphics are pretty decent for a 2005 game, purposefully kept low to allow the game to run on more different systems. There are also scrips to greatly improve them, sanctioned by blizzard.
-Visit every single page on www.wowwiki.com and tell me who did it first before using the word "nothing" in any claim.
-It's very possible to get banned. Just try discussing the merits of the Third Reich on the official forums and see what happens.
-Another expansion is in the works and that's alot more then most other games on ther market.
-A quick browse through my game files shows some 500 odd music files. The OST(not including ambient music or anything, just people's and places's theme tunes) of the expansion alone is 21 songs long.
-And how's this any different then the damage diffrence between a pistol and a rocketlauncher.?
-The rest of your post consists of hyperboles of how bad it is with absolutely NOTHing to base them.
-You are sponsored by LOTRO or AOC, we get that, now go spam somewhere else.
- It's less biased than most WoW players. Most people who play World of Warcrap have only ever played World of Warcrap and yet they still claim it's the god of all video games.
- No. It's only two games. Everything else is a spin-off. There is Warcraft, there is Diablo. Starcraft is Warcraft in space. World of Warcrap is Warcraft fused with Diablo. Every sequel is just that, a sequel.
- Statistics can mean anything. Many children lie about their age just to be allowed to play the game without having to go through the whole parental crap. It's a well-known fact that even if the players are averaging 29 years old, they all still act like 9 years old.
- Actually, graphics really don't bother me that much about games. Again, it's more the people who treat it like God and say "WoW has the best grafix evar" that piss me off. I know the game's supposed to be cartoony, like Warcraft itself, but some of the graphics are inexcusably bad.
- I... I just can't nagivate wowwiki. I've tried. I really have. It's such a badly designed site, just like the game.
- A friend of mine was on his last day of WoW ever. He went to Stormwind and shouted "WORLD OF WARCRAFT SUCKS" for half an hour straight. Everyone told him to shut up and probably half of the game blocked him. He didn't get kicked off. He just got bored and logged off.
- Another expansion with a ripped off name. It's called Wrath of the Lich-King, right? Ever hear of Rise of the Witch-King (it could be mixed-up a little in there, but who cares)? It's the expansion to another game. Plus, if this new expansion is anything like Burning Crusade, it'll drive more people away. I mean, seriously, increasing the level cap and adding new armor for said level cap just makes every other piece of equipment negligible that people have worked so hard to acquire. It's not fun when all that crap just goes for nothing. And in WoW, the right equipment can mean the difference between 100 damage or 1000 damage.
- No idea on the songs. Just going by what I saw on this one website that had the OST.
- First person shooters have always weirded me out like that. I don't care if it's a pistol, a machine gun, or a rocket launcher. In reality, any one of those things would kick your ass in one second. In a video game, that doesn't make a difference. In WoW, having equipment mean that much of a difference takes away from any skill aspect of the game. See Final Fantasy XI for a game that requires strategy to play.
- Yeah, that's pretty much what the whole post was about. Exaggerations. Just trying to get my points across.
- LOTRO wouldn't even install on my computer. Don't even know what AOC- oh wait, Age of Conan? Just got into my mind.
Actually, I play Final Fantasy XI in terms of full-time MMO. I know it's far from the epitome of good games. It pisses me off a lot. But I find it's fun to get back into because it's a lot more mature, a lot more stable, and has a much wider variety of things to do than I've seen in any MMO. The only two things that could really be improved would be the tempo and quest system. Seriously. If FFXI had the quest system that WoW had, it would be probably the best game ever. The quests themselves are better than WoW's, but the system is ass.
We have no quest description whatsoever, and as you get further into the quests, the description doesn't change. Most of them you have to figure out for yourself. Or, you know, look on FFXIclopedia. Hell yeah.
