"7 million players" everyone I know plays it, I honestly think it looks boring. The many images i've seen just look crap.

Unless i'm missing the actual picture..

Haha, I thought it looked crap too. Then I played it... so damn addictive. And it was only the trial. I want to go town tomorrow and get the full version. It's just a game that actually takes skill... like you have to select all thea ttacks and spells when you're training, and you usually can't eat during battle so that's more of a challenge. The map is HUGE, and it isn't just pointless skilling to get a good hi score like runescape. And like fishing on rune, all you do is click the water and fish until the fishing spot moves or you get a random event. WoW you can't sit back and relax, you have to click like the exact time your fishing line moves otherwise the fish gets away. It's just so good... just play it and find out. I guess it's a matter of opinion, but I did originally think it looked to fantasial, then I played it... it's not like every other medieval based RPG with knights and stuff. It's actually set like in the future, with mechanics like the Deeprun Tram and the Gnome's racial mount, the mechanostrider.

That strange as it may sound doesn't surprise me much.

Also been abit more helpful that the person who replied with "pmsl", When I was trying to find out more about WoW before I started to play I used gamespot nice little video on there of it. But what helped me most was talking to people who were already playing it. Gamespot's short comment was;


Here is the online role-playing game you should play, no matter who you are.

To be honest I agree, RPG's arn't normal my thing but this is something different.

Hope that helps in some way,

The thing with WoW is that it's so involving, there is hundreds apon thousands of quests that you can do alone, in a small party or even in a rather large group, it has hundreds of items for all classes as well as loads of professions that you can learn and easily build up and make some really easy gold from, if you look at screenshots it doesn't look like much, you have to really play the game to get into it

I agree with everyone that posted on this page above me, I also notice that everyone that was saying it looks rubbish and everything have shut up :).

WoW is a great game. nothing to argue about there.
Yes, its addicting but thats only when people dont know when to stop.
Download a trial or something and then you can see for yourself. how some people can get addicted and some people call it crap.

Thats all im saying :]]

Tbh I think the people saying it was rubbish when they played it are not saying it because it's a bad game because clearly it isn't, they're saying it because they stink at it, they can't play it to save there life and they blame the game

i dont see how people can justify saying WoW is crap, i mean it has over 7 million users. if it was that crap would that many people really pay the subscription fee?

How can you say that something is rubbish when you've never experienced it?

also LOL at people who say that WoW's graphics are not good. What are you smoking? WoW's graphics are AMAZING and everybody knows it.

for example just few pictures;

If you think that's crap, you really really need to get glasses, the end.


and of course it's addicting..every game basically is but it's your choice if you'll let a game take over your real life.

Wow completely sucks, there's barely any items, barely any players, it's extremely hard to level, warlocks and hunters are severely underbalanced, mages never whine, and druids get treated with respect.

The best classes to take up is either Healers or tanks (Druids, Priests, Warriors, Rouges, Pally's)
Gets you into groups and perfect in raids. :]]

Take up engineering, Goblin Rocket Helm or Gnomish mind control cap will give you time to heal :8.

I'm level 42 now and i seem to stand more of a chance with dire bear form (450% armour so i have about 5.3k armour with mark of the wild) I bash (annoying when it misses) then root>rejuv , it's just annoying with their burst disrupt thingy >_> but druids are so powerfull compared to what they were, people are complaining on the forums because we're not a free hk anymore :P

Hehe indeed, Out Dpsing rogues is so much fun :8, Also i had natures grasp + Furor but when the gave us another free change over i decided to go for Furor and Natural Shapeshifter. Seems abit more useful, Although I should have used Nature's grasp more than I did. PvP Trinkets kill it against Hunters and Warriors :'(

Ezzie.
15-01-2007, 06:21 PM
heh yeah, i didnt spec into natures grasp as it's highly situational, can't believe how cool dire bear is though, killed a paladin 6 levels higher than me in a 1 v 1 duel :p

Ezzie, never knew you still used Habbox.

and lol at you Ezzie, saying WoW is amazing at first, then comming back to Runescape saying WoW's crap and a waste of time and it's so repetative but look where you end up, eh?

Anyway, thread closed but I still think WoW looks boring.
