I have friends that are still playing and they are talking about how that battle grounds have changed and that pvp is more fun. Plus I have also heard that some world droped greens are going to be better than some of the dungeon droped armor with the new expantion. ~~~Rlena~~~ I Don't Need To "Get A Life."

I only managed to play WOW for a week before I was so disgusted that I left for greener pastures. My 3 reasons for leaving: 1. Within the first 24 hrs i was told no less than 20+ times that my character was hot and had great boobs. How sad is that? I changed servers seeing if perhaps it was maybe an immature server and lo and behold the second server I tried (and this time I played horde) was no better. I kept getting random invites to group that I never asked for, and the constant chatter of a nature which I would not repeat in a public forum that was under the age of 18. Now I am not a prude.. seriously and I can joke with the best of them. But for this being my introduction to WOW and my free week of playing I turned away and never looked back (basically this was the final straw). 2. My main reason for wanting to play was so I could join the guild that my friends were on but they were alliance and i WANTED TO PLAY A COW~ So unless I played a winged eared elf (the only other character I wanted to play other than a tauren) I was SOOL. 3. Way to flat. was hoping for some killer graphics but the characters faces were painted on! and their armor was also painted onto their bodies.. YUCK. Just my opinion, but sorely disappointed in this. WOW did one thing right that SONY needs to have its butt kicked for... at least on WOW Mac people can play PC people. EQ2 is PC only which is why many of my friends went to WOW, it was one of the ONLY mac mmorpg's available.

No way TBC can get me back with all the mmog Q1 titles that will soon release. My sub is still payed for and waits to expire but it simply serves as a chat with friends there. No content/feature in the game can get me to return after Ive seen the core. It was fun 3 months though.

Originally posted by karatekid007 People who don't want to return to WoW... if you could try the expansion for 1 week do you think it would change your mind? Would you even try the game? i would in fact, not try the game, i would pop in for free for a while to talk to old friends, that's it. the truth is, WoW hasn't gone anywhere for months, there have been no patches that are ground-breaking for months, there has been nothing new added that involves more than 15% TOPS of the population for months. all the patches have been are high end dungeons and talent revamps. why weren't the talents balanced in beta? i was told they were released in late beta... my response was that they "opened the flood gates without paving the canals" which results in them failing, i don't care when they released it, it should not come out if it's not fixed, that's how we get trash and misinformed developers. Blizz took a high road and did pretty damn well, having a polished game, but if a few more things were broken it could have EASILY gone the way of SWG, with the devs rushing to "fix what should have been fixed in beta" only to send the game into alpha.

Blizzard have yet again done a great job of advertising, question is; will it pull you in? they going to make it a free expansion or MAYBE $5 american tops? if so, sure. if not, nope. could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?

I thought Guild wars was Diablo 3. Hellgate london is more like an FPS-RPG hybrid like Dark Messiah I think.
Gorblum Novice Member Joined: 4/23/06 Posts: 12	12/21/06 8:24:20 PM#96 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) I have to admit that WoW is getting out of hand with the PvP items to be gained. First it was about ranks, then they made it easy to get by far e.g. roughly 4 days to get full of them and then a week later they nerfed it 30% less of honor gained. I for one havent played WoW for a long while now since I just got bored after getting Highest rank last year and then raided a few months and then it gets boring. I came back a few months ago to play Cross Realm PvP for some challenge and yet there was hardly much changes. It became boring again. I really dont see BC changing much things of interest. I however still remember when I first got WoW, the first leveling was fun and PvP was okay and yet , Warcraft was about Factions between Horde and Alliance and so what I kept thinking of was leveling to 60 and then gathering people to attack enemy capitals to kill their special character. But as you all know to those that have played from start till Battle Grounds released. The incentive to take out capitals has gradually today died down. There was no point since there's no reward in killing Capital bosses, so Battle Grounds and this Arenas released well changed the total ways of how Warcraft was made from the beginning in a sense it seems. You now just compete in games known as Battle Grounds that are the same repeatedly and not a proper World of Warcraft to fight off their enemies. You just fight for marks here and there for reputation and that just felt to me killed the game . So here I wait in hope that Warhammer Online will change what this mistake that WoW decided to change. The incentive of REAL world war in the game and not some Battle ground that doesnt change anything.

BC will be the same thing as EQ2 expansions... add a little bit of everything they already have and add a couple of new features... same game... more items/things to do... but still the same game. My WoW days are over... i rather spend my time waiting for TCoS, Darkfall (hopefully it comes out within 10 years from now),vanguard, and a couple of other titles... o yeah and getting money for a new PC... i desperately need a new 1

Originally posted by trigger190 Most of my friends still play it, but I left because I didn't like the end-game content and because they game overall just feels really boxed-in with no freedom. QFT. This game could have been so much better if Blizzard actually cared enough to work on it. Instead, they've been so obsessed with balancing everything to match their precious Shamans and Paladins, and releasing "new" content (read: re-skinned old content) that they haven't actually DONE anything. If anything, they took the game in reverse by destroying the one thing the game had going for it, which was the macro and addons system. I might consider returning after they fix it, but even then my answer is "probably not."

It is a extremly uninteresting game, and i cant see how 7 million people plays it. The quests are like ''Go kill X of that'' and/ore ''Go get X of that'' ore a double combo ''Go kill X of that, and get X of that'' The graphics are really childish, No man with respect for themself will call it good. The sound/music is fine though. The community is pretty imature, But i guess theres no way around it with 7 million peps. The endgame is terrible, 60 man raids, Instances, Grind grind grind, Z0mg i need that freaking gear!!! PvP is pointless, Full of twinks. BC will just be more of the same booring WoW... Which Final Fantasy Character Are You? Final Fantasy 7

I left World of Warcraft due repeative gameplay. Everything I did, I done already so nothing new for me. This BC expension is just a scam. There is NO way that Blizzard will release this in January 2007, June or July sounds more realistic but we will see how things go. So far I do not have any interests in this expension basicly because of World of Warcraft's community. Most people think it is quite OK, but in my view it is not. Blizzard employees only respond on you posted ''ticket'' but in 9/10 times to just throw it in the bin and do nothing with it. If they did, WoW would have a safer and more fun gameplay. Anyway, decide for yourself!
