I play wow to have fun not talk politics or about the war on terror.  The other day I had a chat about nothing, went somthing like this.

Player: Who wanna lick my Poo( I should explain, he had a pet called Poo (bear) and in wow theres a /lick emote)
Me: Im not putting that in my mouth
Playet: He'll suxy suxy 5 dollar
Me: Sry got no change, would you accept a donkey?
Player: Nah I got a donkey.

Im waiting for flieplanet to release the beta keys, but from the few movies i've seens and screenshot the gfx dont impress me much, perhaps cus ive played WoW for so long the realistic gfx style might takes some time to get used it.  This is my first comment on VG I dont think it fair to rate a game I've never played based on graphics and what others say... theres enough of that junk going on over in the WoW forums from EvE fanboys.

If this game sux /rulesI'll voice my opinion and if its another Archlord I'll drive down to VG HQ and slap each and every employee there.

ok i read the first 3 pages and lots are talking about the reason theres 4million asian players is cus they pay ONLY $2 a months... the reason they pay $2 is becuase they earn less than an American or european player, so the amount they pay is the same as any one else based on the average wage for that county.  Charging a chinese players $15 would be like charging an american $100.

Lets say we half the number of subs blizz says, so say 1million american about 750,000 europeans, 2 millions asian... WoW is STILL the biggest MMO ever.

So the OP's point is?

I've quit wow 3 times but came back cus no other MMO to me feels as fun/finished/polished or as professional as WoW.

I wish that i would have made that same decision about 22 months earlier than i actually did. I do not regret my cancellation and after having been through every raid instance currently available as well as getting a full sampling of the game's pvp as WELL as the beta for burning crusade, i can tell you that the game is nothing special. Good decision. [/troll] I can't wait 'til other games come out and people start migrating away from WoW [Warhammer, age of conan, etc]. It will be interesting to see Blizz's reaction...hey, maybe they might actually make their game dynamic!

I played the 2 week trial of WoW, and after being into CoH/CoV...i found WoW to be very kindergartenish im comparison...Its not a bad game mind you, but when you've had filet mignon, somehow spam just cant take its place!

bad decision my ass... iv only had the displeasure of seeing someone play WoW and I must say it looks quite childish to what I'm used to.   imo its a good move to get away from WoW and Blizzard... they lost all my respect when they made this game and dropped there other projects

gl on finding an MMO that suits your mature attitude; and ignore the flamer WoW boys

Good decision :>. WoW will start to lose players eventually. Rather old game/community thats hard to get in as a new player, thus Burning Crusade is a big joke :). Well nothing lasts forever and WoW did it ok... for a while.

WoW is the best MMO out there currently, reviews/awards/player numbers and fan boys say so, so it must be true =D

I have playd wow for quite some time done everything u can do...

Now i realise that wow realy is the worst game ever ive playd, even worse than starwars galaxies...

If i get into specific detalis about why wow is so bad and should be baned from the market i could go on for ages, but there is one main thing.

They are lying to everyone, giving us false information, their website isnt up to date (i know) ,

Kids are getting adicted to this crap, for what? waisting years on this shit...

There should be a law against this...

Its obvious that blizz is using players minds to play this, many are having problems leaving wow because blizz is manipulationg them....

Realy blizz should be infront of the judge and explain why they are manipulation ppl to waitse thier lives on this...

They are draging down ppl on porpuse, there must be a law against his, when its so obvious

Why do u EvE fan-boyz need to drag WoW into your arguments.. always with the "go play a dumb mmo like WoW you need no skills for that, go play with the kids"

You all act like a 14 year-old boy who keeps picking on that girl at the back of the class cus your secretly fancy her but you dont want ya mates to know... get  a grip and keep it EvE.

EvE players are NOT superior or more mature than WoW players.. there just as many kids who play EvE its just with ya massive 100,000  subs you dont run into as many.  Because WoW is easy to play (PvE) and does not make you sit through a 3 hours tutorial does not make a dumb down game.


EvE is one of the only MMO's that growing, I even think WoW is dropping in Europe, mainly due to taking 2 years to release an expansion, but i expect a boost in the 16th when the expansion is relased.
But the attiutde of most EvE players here thinking they are superior and above others who play games like WoW or EQ realy is not helping, you talk of a good community in EvE but all I see are EvE players with big heads looking down on others. I intend to try EvE again soon (this time I wont quit 2 hours into the tutorial - I hope it changed) and I hope players in EvE are more pleasent than most who troll this forum.

Yes WoW did not inovate but what it did do was to take all the good things from previous MMO's and merge them into a very polished, bug free & enjoyable MMO, even if you only play upto 60 (70 in the expansion) its still a very fun MMO, its what I call a pick'n'play MMO unlike EvE or EQ which realy does demand more time to get through.

Also remember that WoW opened the world to MMO's I believe that many of the MMO's in development now would not be if WoW was not created.

I quit playing WoW after 10 months, got to 60 in 3-4 months (first time toon.... LOL at ppl who say got to 60 in 2 weeks) and did the end game stuff for a while but got bored of it.  I've now re-activted my account after 3 months away ready for TBC, with TBC offering 5man dungeons as opposed to the old 40man end game dungeons I hope to stay around for 5 months or so, after which I'll quit again... unless I get hooked on the Arena ladder system which sound great.

Many people complain about WoW end game, but they complain after enjoying the game for over a year and they forget the good times they had... if you find a game holds no interest any more then quit.

As to the commnunity ive never realy had a problem, occasionaly I'll help some 1 or save some 1 from certain death and they just walk off, no thankyou.. nothing, but im sure this is true to ALL MMO's just more noticable in WoW cus theres more people about.
Just yesterday I helped a lvl 32 do some quests, im a lvl 60 and he tried to give me gold for helping which I turned down ofc.

As to kids yes they're about as they all in ALL other MMO's but play after 7pm and most have gone to bed.  Its easy to spot if you've teamed with a kid, they often look after #1 and rarely chat.

LOL.. how many times has a mmorpg thats still in development been said to be the game that kills WoW, and look where those games are now...

-DDO (could of been good but dieing fast)
-Archlord (Dead on arrival)
-RF Online (Dead on arrival)
-Everquest 2 (Very dissapointing)

and now the games out next year

-Vangurd
-Conan
-Lotro
-War (maybe)

Believe me none of these game will take WoW's crown. WoW's expansion will sell more than these 4 games put together.

I know the WoW haters hate the truth but WoW is most highly rated MMORPG in the world, almost all magazines/websites rated it 90%+ not to mentions the awards and subscriber numbers.

7.5Million to the #2 MMO (linenage 2) with 1.5Million.

Get ya head out ya ass and just give WoW the respect its earned.

The sad truth is people tend to hate sucess.. look at Microsoft, people hate them for no other reason than they are sucessful.

My top 4 reasons

1. Computer not on
2. WoW not installed
3. Computer stolen
4. Whats a computer


But seriously all those points are down to personal preference and the fact you dont want to be solcial and get into a group/guild, if you dont like a class then reroll. 
As to the lag issue, we dont know what connect you have or country your in or how much porn your downloading in the background, but here in the UK my 1MB ADSL is fine, my average ping is 40-60 ingame.. good enough for a FFS game, and the last time i had bad lag was.....erm.... well it was so long ago I  cant recall.

I got bored with all the raiding and the constant grind for the next piece of gear. Cancelled my account and now with the 2.0.1 patch they have completly changed the way (Or so I hear) that you play your class, well Hunters anyway...  

"WoW has terrible sounds and it's the only game which is managed to change PvP to boring grinding. Also PvE is mainly boring grinding. You need to go in  to same instance 100 times with 40man raid to get what you want. If that's not boring then what is? Also graphics are not that beautiful. Only good thing is the quantity of spells and special attacks. It's good game for kids who love to complete different simple quests like kill 10 mobs and get reward, that's why it's so popular. Also many first time mmo-player adults there, who don't expect more since they never tried anything better."

"Also many first time mmo-player adults there, who don't expect more since they never tried anything better."

"Your correct about the way Blizzard counts subs outside of the US/EU, and as such the 5.9 million Chinese players, and other far east subs may not be entirely accurate. I've stated this many times, pointing out that WoW MAY not have as many subs as it claims, and those numbers are mere marketing spin, but the fanbois refuse to accept WoWs decline and believe everything Blizzard tells them without question. They then get into assumption and rumor, talking about full servers, boxes on shelves etc. and CLAIMING that WoW has 1 million in the EU, up to 2.5 in the US, without actually presenting any proof."

Not that I cant afford it, just I dont think its worth a monthly sub of £9 and most reviewers say this too... but its just my opionon, lower sub and id consider it but I dont see me getting my money worth from the current sub price.

Ok i played the trial a few months back and liked what I saw and I just played it again and still liked what I saw, but it does not warrent a monthly sub IMHO.

Its a casual MMORPG (if it can be classed as an MMORPG) unlike WoW or EQ which demand far more of your time and in those games you can see that your monthly sub is going on streaming 100+ players to your screens and keep a persistant world alive.

It's a 100% instanced game except the towns which is just like Guild wars. Im no fan of guildwars but If they can sustain a F2P game then no reason Turbin cant.

Making the game F2P will sure bring more players and convice current players to stay a bit longer too.

Just like Guild wars, make large content updates which players can purchase for a small fee every few months.

If this was made F2P tomorrow Id be down PCWORLD within the hour.

If you enjoy the freedom of movment a WoW character has, running, jumping, falling off things fast fluid movments etc. then GW will dissapoint, in GW your character is glued to the floor and you'll consantly run into invisable walls, you soon find you can only follow pre-set routes through the game world.

This for me also makes PvP boring.  but this is my opionon, for me WoW has better PvP for the fact its fast, frantic and I can go where I like to sneak up an enemy or for a fast get away.

Also it probably been said but GW is not a MMORPG, eveything is instanced (which is why the game has no monthly fees) and you will also find lag more obious in the GW (again cus its free the bandwidth is much lower).

For me WoW rates above GW in PvE and PvP.
