Its called progressing.

Its called raping the story, please you stop posting.

I miss playing with all of my online friends. I also enjoy following the story, that is why I sill keep tabs on the game. However, I don't miss the actual game itself.

I get nostalgic sometimes for the good times I had with my raiding guild and I did enjoy leveling up my characters (well, after the 5th one it started to pale).

But the basic game design remains the same after all these years so no, I haven't gone back in 3 years now.

With the Cataclysm expansion I just might stop by just to see what they did with the old world, but I'm pretty sure I won't be sticking around very long if I do.

Only thing I miss about WoW is the people I knew.  I was in a great raiding guild; consisting of a lot of older, more mature, people.  There was never a single instance of drama or arguing over loot.  Ever person in the guild probably was between the ages of 25-40+, majority over the age of 30.

I guess us older people prefer to stick together, stay away from those petulant teens who infest the game.

now and again i get the urge to stop by again but then i remember what i want to go back to is not a game that really exists anymore . the way blizzard took the game really took out the fun factor and challenge . also all the old friends i had there quit and the community is now abundant with either kids or players that act like them . if blizzard ever implimented either advanced servers that offered a bit more challenge or ones that offered the option of the orginal game experiance again i would return . but they wont . if theres a cataclysm free trial or welcome back offer i ll try it out . but i would nt rush out an buy it . the game looks far too dated now as well .

Yes and no, I'll probably wait til Cataclysm before I think about renewing my account.

i was a fan for about a year and a half.

no.

Not in the slightest.

Only thing i miss is my old guildmates.

Ditto. I only miss my guildmates and the people I met through WoW and am no longer in contact with.

Also, I miss having an MMO to play.

 I had some good times when I played it...some of the best gaming memories I have, also some of the worst.  It consumed too much of my life, I was turning in to a fat ass in the 3 years I played it.  I quit playing and have shed 50 lbs.

No, I don't miss it.

I played from Fall of 06 to like spring of 08 straight, after that I knew I was done with the game. However, every three months sense, I am somehow forced into renewing my subscription just to play two weeks and remember why I got bored. That week or so of *fresh* gameplay is enjoyable, but it rarely lasts. I quit two months ago last and am hoping not to be drawn back in... Damn blizzard put nicotine in their computer games...  -_-

miss the game.... HECK NO!!!!  shoot among the few things that I hate about WoW and never really go back to it is the fact the flying mounts TOO Expensive (for any mount/training)  this alone caused the whole economy to get out of hand.  This in turn resulted in the 'Gold Farmers [HACKERS]'.  Then there is the fact that the party system there sucks,  try to get into a group goining into an instance but can't unless you have certain equipment BUT to get that gear you need to get into that instance.  And its thanks to the Gold sellers though that economy on all the big MMo's are all screwy.  So before you go to one of these sites to 'BUY' gold think it over, WHY pay good REAL money for gold in the MMo's that is just data when that you could use  the money in real life for more important things. (sorry about goi9ng off-topic there for that last part just had to vent a bit)

people i met in EQ I'm still in very regular contact with, same with Vanguard. Wow, nope, not at all, not an email, not a facebook invite, etc.

WoW's useless to me and so are most of the players i met there /shrug

Gameplay>Graphics ofcourse, but it's always a plus to have decent graphics.

I like WoW's artistic graphics, it's in a league of its own with the artwork.

Gameplay is equal to graphics for me but WoW is the only game that has broken that rule. Maybe because the graphical style doesn't get old.

Back on-topic, I tend to play it now in bursts of 2-3 months then get bored again. Well it's less like I get bored and more like I just loose the inclination to log on just to try get the exp bar shuffling along. Then I'll come back again after a couple of months break ready to go again. It kind of has a timeless charm for me that always wins me back. I'm not saying I'll never play another MMO but it would have to be could to drag me away from WoW after all the time I've invested.

I have one or maybe 2 characters still to get to 80 with for CAT. Then I reckon I'll play through with a level 35 noob (my lowest) to see how the world has changed.  I haven't got any slots free to start a new one and I don't fancy doing the whole hog anyway.

Nope, don't miss it at all as I have found a much better game, Darkfall.

I spent about three years there.  When I left I deleted every item from every character, gave away all my gold and deleted an account full of 70's.

Sure I could have sold the account but It felt so goooooood to delete everything.

One time, I deleted all but my very first character I rolled from my account, then quit. Thought I would never return (and deleted my characters to ensure that). Said good bye to my WoW friends and guild mates.

Eventually, though, I came back and even had Blizzard restore my two highest characters.

This time, though, I am sure I'm done. Blizzard's just getting greedier and greedier. So, my Undead mage will linger forever at 75.

No way would I ever sell my account. No one plays 'Rogormortis' but me.

There are certainly parts of the game that I miss. I love RFC so much. What a cool starter dungeon. Ah, the memories.

I actually have a harder time staying away from Warhammer with its low level PvP. Playing on a free trial right now, as they got a year's worth of money from me, and need to fix it to get any more.

I quit WoW and now I'm back to good ol' heroin. ;-)

Ok, that was a stupid joke. :-) Anyway, I can't say I miss WoW much. I miss people I once played with but re-subscribing won't bring old times back. My in-game friends are almost all gone - claimed by their RL, their jobs and their families. If I logged on today, I'd be just a stranger to everyone. If I wanted to play actively again, I'd have to go through the whole "write an application" and "prove your worth" boredom.

I feel ancient now. And too lazy to prove anything to anyone. :-)

Like I miss a turd I just flushed down toilet...

i played many years ago and dont miss it at all. was never for me and while the first 2 months were fun in the sense that it was new to me and lots of exploration lay ahead, it quickly faded.

unlike many who play it, it wasnt my first, 2nd, or even 5th mmo. i already had strong ideas of what an mmo should be to me and wow was like a starter version of that.

raiding was really the only fun thing about that game but not enough to stay [and pay] . i will say this, wow was the first game i played where team tactics started to be employed and if you didnt contribute you were solo. that experience helped me in the games i played after it and  now to the point where if you dont vent you solo, lol.
