Latest Blog Entry - Nap time for the so called MMO"RPG"
From my blog 30 Something Gamers....Hello? Am I alone here? [tobin25]
As of lately I have been playing WoW more than any other MMO. I can't say that WoW fulfills my need or desires in a game, but it functions better than most and is more enjoyable to play. Also my nephews have been playing for a while now (do to an uncle introducing them to it) and it has brought some new life into a dieing world. To see and hear their excitement as their toon lvls and gets new talents has been fun. BUT ... it has only brought me so far! There is just that lack of real rpg play in most MMOs that leaves one like myself with a huge empty spot. I did enjoy playing LOTRO, but the hitching and graphic issues in the game made for a frustrating journey. Even after getting a newer system it didn't resolve the graphic issues with the game. LOTRO was probably the closest in the MMO arena that gave a rpg'er the fix they were looking for. I won't leave out Vanguard either, but both are plagued with graphic and game play issues to this day.
So for a time it is looking like the world of MMOs will be taking a nap in my land. I may pop in on WoW and PvP a bit or check on it after the expansion comes out. I may even be tempted with LOTRO and it's expansion, but until someone puts out a game that functions like WoW and gives a person a good and meaningful crafting / rpg experience like LOTRO and Vanguard offered, none of them will be seeing much of my real world money flowing their way.
Back to the land of Neverwinter for me. I may even toy around with a few mods of my own and get back into a real rpg experience again. Oh how I have missed the meaningful storyline and the characters that drew you in and made you feel a part of a greater purpose; an "ever changing world".

- World of Warcraft: Why I'm Looking Forward to WotLK
I would have to agree here... not much excitement about the expansion. WoW lost me about 2 weeks ago after the last patch and countless server issues. I know there were problems with BC also when it launched, but with so many issues it would seem to me Blizzard and other dev would make better use of beta before upsetting many of their paying population! I was getting bored with WoW and the whole MMO community anyways. It would be nice to find a MMOG that offered more depth in storeline and character dev. Some have tried, but either have graphical glitching or game integ issues that make playing for any length of time frustrating. WoW (for the most part) plays smoothly and can be enjoyable as far as battle/fighting and exploring, but lacks depth in storeline and character dev outside of stats. Someday a game will come along with more depth and adventure to it and will offer more than a mindless grind for gear and levels to pvp and raid instances for more gear. When you think about it... you hit max level, enjoy a few quest lines, but mostly you reach "raiding status" for what? So you can look cool in nice gear as you hang out in city zones chatting to others about the next raid and dueling each other infront of the Auction House. I guess for some that stays enjoyable for longer than it did me.

- World of Warcraft: Correspondent - Levelling in WoW
In the spirit in which this article was writing I thank the author. Please don't mind the gramar police. Based on the new patches and changes to WoW you wished to inform gamers of the positive changes to an already great game and for that I thank you. Call me a fanboy of WoW... it doesn't change the fact that an already great and enjoyable game has improved many aspects of it's game to help out new and returning players. I believe this was really the reason for the post and not how the missuse of one word could completely side track sooooooo many people! So understanding this to be the meaning for this post I do not believe it has been played out. Many changes and additions have been released in WoW over the last few patches and it was enjoyable to read about them.
