Ive been thinking about starting WOW. Id like get get your opinion on is it really worth starting? Im just afraid that if i start im not going to stop playing. This happened with Diablo 2 with me. I started playing and then 3 years later i finally stopped. And now im back into Starcraft again, but i can control that easy.
Is WOW easy to start off and be able to compete with everyone? In Diablo 2 there was no way you could just start off and try to compete with the other players.
And is It really worth paying for a subsribtion to play? If it was a free online game, id definitly play it.

do not start wow. you wll become addicted and wither away in front of your pc, sunning all other personal contact.

as for other games that are free, go to www.freeallegiance.org and see if that's up your alley.

i dont, but my friend does. i showed him the link but i personally have never played it, but it looks awesome. i just havent gotten around to actually playing it myself...i'll check it out more detail right now.  Smile

edit/ i dont have to work tomorrow, or have school since its the weekend, so if i remember i'll download it and try it. it seems fun and cool idea that there is a commander role to play where people actually will have to work as a team... since most team games are ruined by people who want to do whatever they want...

Whatever you do DON'T START RUNESCAPE. I started that game in 01 and just quit in 06. It may not look it at first, but it is a very addicting game. You quit it and then it somehow manages to drag you back in. I think I am out for good now though lol.

I really REALLY dont know how you liked that game, I played it for a day or two and then hated the crap out of it, There is no world map in the game, You have to go outside of the game and click a little map icon or w/e and then you dont really know where you are.

Eventually you get the map memorized. Although I agree with troop it is extremely repetitive.

wow is EVIL!!...i don't personally play any game...except the games of life Smile (not the board game) anyway...everyone (4 different people) i know that has played that evil wow S#!t has lost all touch with reality...where human contact isn't important to them anymore...they get to the point where they believe their character is real and speak of them in first person...yep the south park episode was a slight exaggeration but not by far...the black circles around the eyes...the facial sores...those are real (makes u look like a zombie)...and when they do manage to get away from it...it must call their name in their sleep and lures them back slowly...

yep it's EVIL!!!...don't start...it's like heroin...it'll suck u to the bottom and keep u there till everything is gone

and anyone playing that can't escape...get help from a 12 step program...i'm serious...remove it from ur computer...destroy the disc...cancel ur server subscription...burn the box...permanently erase all emails concerning wow


and that's my quarters worth...
