exactly you get addicted to the game because of the people, why the hell would you pay all that money just to socialize with people when you could do it for free with games like JA.

these are extremes...
in my opinion while you guys arent extreme ones and could cancel your accounts any time you wanted... you simply dont want to. its still an addiction if only a not noticable one.
i think thats obvious since you dont notice it ;p
others around you might though.

Thats just the morons who would be doing other destructive crap if they weren't playin wow...please refrain from pullin shit out of ur ass that you have no basis for or proof besides " uh...this one guy said." The only point i agree with is yes...it is addictive...

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Lol, I don't hate the game, I just think that it's a waste of time, and I just won't play it anymore. To each their own, however. I don't mean to bash the game. Too much, anyway. :D

Meh, Warhammer's primarily a PvP game, and PvP's one of the few reasons why I was ever motivated to level in WoW tbh. The good thing about Warhammer is that it sounds like it's going to not limit the
"fun" stuff to the endgame, because you can still do all the PvP and epic-feeling quests and all that at low levels.

how is playing a game you enjoy at a casual way make me a addict ? addict would be where u cant stop something that you no longer like. If i wanna stop playing WoW i will.

And i was saying that it seems your only pointing it out about wow when all other mmos follow the same set of rules pretty much.

And Lian is obviously baised she hates the game now so she is far from neutral.

what does those numbers change when all you see is the same content? sure like you said, a lot of mmos (well maybe most of them) have this flaw, but that doesnt mean i shouldnt point that out. the whole point of my arguing is that WoW is clearly overrated and... i guess discussion is pointless since the only neutral person in this thread is Lian.

Jk3 died long ago so its a bad choice of game to compare to the beast of WoW, now if you used a quality, up to date game like Call of Duty, or GTA, i might not think your a total bullshit artist/ fanboy


i used the comparison due to us being on a Jedi forum :P its seemed logical.

Saz, Blizzard wants you to explore end game content more and more now, thats why leveling in azeroth is much easier now, 2.3 patch they made xp requirement less between levels and the quests give more xp to speed up the boring grind to outlands.

But seriously if you dont like the game thats cool, but pointing out flaws that are apart of every MMORPG is just wierd. Any MMO will have the same grind time but not many have heavy end game content.

Blizzard is really improving PVE and PVP content in the upcoming expansion. example - 25 man to do the end game instances? nah you can choose a 10 man version if you want to do it with close friends, sure the loot isnt the same but the choice is there.
The arena system is getting upgraded too and new battlegrounds being produced, the game is getting more suited to a casual player, not just the people who can play 24/7.

Warhammer from all i have read is going the hardcore way at end game, 40 man instances like the old wow ones, this just doesnt appeal to me anymore, i've been there and done that, its too much hard work.

I've typed too much now and you'll probably disagree with it all but alas its a game people like it people dont.

All i know is for the people who said it owns their life, make it more casual, i play 3 nights a week in end game stuff and the rest of the week i do whatever i please, this is the casual way of wow now

in pretty much every rpg game the hardest thing to do is start a new character since all you do is play through the same shit over and over again.
imagine yourself creating a tauren druid.
ok then... you hate trolls and orcs, but you still want a horde shaman... so you create a tauren shaman and do the same quests. sure its just first 20 or so levels... but when you are doing something thats not interesting at all to you... game turns into work or like most of people say nowadays... grind.


That's a big problem with WoW, the majority of the game is middle which is so uninspired and disgustingly tedious, HALP!

I do have to give Blizz props for the content updates that they do, but the issue is that none of the updates are groundbreaking because, in the end, you're just doing the same thing over again. Sure, you can run around an experience the power of different polygons and pixels, but there are absolutely no unique quests from level 1-70, except maybe the bombing runs which have gotten a little stale now.

Really, my only motivation for leveling was so that I could experience the high-level PvP and show myself off to my cyberfriends. But the PvP gets just as repetitive as everything else and the cyberfriends could only go, "Wow that's pretty," and that's the end of the story.

I only realized how sick of WoW I was until I was level 68 and really hated the game at that point, then took the time to actually play something else which made me also realize how fun other things are and how shitty WoW is by comparison. So then I leveled to 70 just so that I could say that I did, hung around just a little while because of the friends I had made there, and then I quit. Again. But for good that time. ;)

actually yes. AoC guys were better at presenting their product pretty much all the time.
lets take newsletters for example...
like half of warhammers newsletter speaks about some kind of weapon in the game world.
seriously who cares about that? gameplay system, features what we gonna see in the game... why not that? thats what AoC was good at since the launch of its website.

ofcourse that doesnt mean the actual quality of the game... but you tend to trust developers more when they show you what you want to see.


Well, okay. I wasn't really into Warhammer at first either, but when they recently got more detailed about missions and RvR and that spiffy new guild system I started going "ooh la la."

Don't get me wrong, I also think that AoC looks wonderful, and I just now came across screens of the cinematic-esque dialogue system, which I think every RPG should have. I'm just not so sure about the game, especially system specs and how my computer would fare in comparison. :D

Wait for Warhammer instead. Any MMO that sounds like it could actually be fun even after playing it once is credible competition, which Blizzard has been lacking ever since WoW's release.


while i love warhammer lore (played some wh40k)
i didnt actually find any interesting videos about it on youtube. take lets say a video with 400k views - terrible.

what else? Aion. looks like the game from the same developer (lineage 2) only with 100x better graphics. which means some insanely boring korean style grind.

stargate worlds... not much info is out yet and ofcourse its far away from being released...

guildwars 2 - there is a lot of info about it... but at the same time you cant know anything about it from it :P still ill probably buy it because i liked gw1 and it has no monthly fee.

so thats probably all : P
