Not going to happen.

Duke Nukem 3D is way better than some of the crap FPS games youget these days. So yes. Going to happen. Has happened, in fact.

If blizzard paid me say $20 an hr I might think about it if they offered me a lifetime sub and $1,000,000 I might think about it till then no thanks been there done that and didnt have fun except for getting to 80 after that it was boring.

What a very reasonable offer.  I think Blizzard should jump on that right now!

Ita only a matter of time! 

Sorry buddy, GW2 is my new home now.

You say this now, but I can almost gaurentee you will sub back to WoW eventually.

True enough, i know for me at least, i'll be getting MoP, in spite of the whole panda debacle tbh, i'll most likely play it for 2 or 3 months, and then let subs lapse again, or i might stay longer, my main game is really Eve, anything else i play is usually just casual, and thats about the most you can hope for with WoW, besides, by the time MoP comes out i'll probably have finished with SW;TOR, until they bring out something new there too at least.

 2 years clean and counting. I will never go back, there is nothing to go back to with my guild not there.

For me the draw is nostalgia.  Unfortunately with each expansion and it's included "improvements" Blizzard gradually destroys the appeal the game used to hold for me.  Their game, their choice.  Mine is to sit on the sidelines until something happens that makes it interesting again, if ever.

I can say with total confidence I will never go back to wow. The last time I tried playing, I felt like someone had asked me to clean their elderly parents arse.

 

I don't have anything against WOW, just sooo tired of it..same ole gear grind...

 

Also for those of you claiming you "can't" stop....

Get help, for you're family's sake.

 My name is Laserit.... and I am a WoW addict....

Na I wont be buying it this time. I bought Cata and ended up completely disapointed, the game just isnt for me anymore.

Although if I start reading hundreds of threads about how awesome it is, I'll more then likley jump in to see what all the talk is about.

Keep dreaming pal, I had my fill of WoW years ago and have zero intention of returning. If I ever do want to play that style of game for a bit, any one of the dozens of FREE clones works just fine.

It used to be. . but I am not buying this expansion . . so no more resubbing for me.

How did you get past the 15 year old graphics? I couldn't do it....just couldn't

Yup.. i used to think this way but since Cata I've had absolutely no interest in returning, my first 85 bored the hell out of me.

Still a great game, but It's just not entertaining anymore, It's gotten stale.

Really? Therewas a time when that probably held true with a lot of folks, myself included. Be it because teh game is old or what have you, It just isnt the same anymore. I don't even think about this game anymore ... nor would I ever want to log in ... even less so with pandas. I played Cataclysm for a month, deleted every character I had ( every class over 70, most at 80-85). No, I will never return even for this very wierd expansion. Was fun while it lasted but not a chance ....

Honestly, the fallback MMO for me is EVE. It's been that way for years now.

I have resubbed to WOW on new expansions, but that's just because I'm curious about new content. Here's the pattern up to now: I buy the new expansion, stick around for a month or two, then unsub. Without an expansion I'd probably not have subbed back at all in the last several years.

Actually, even with a new expansion now, I probably won't.

To be quite honest, I will not be renewing my subscription or be purchasing MoP. I was talking about this with my wife last night. Even if I wanted to, I cannot justify spending 15 bucks on a game I'll be hardly spending any time on. I'm married, working and on February will be a brand new daddy, I don't now nor will I have the time in the future to play two mmorpgs; I'll barely have time for one!

It is more than just a lack of time though. Just yesterday I got on my account, which will expire on Aug 28th, and I found it to be boring. I told my wife that character movement feels "blocky", combat is stale, and the game as whole just looks bad. I guess you could say that just like a kid out grows toys he once thought were cool, GW2 has caused me to out grow WOW.

Another plus regarding GW2 is that it is not as time consuming as WOW. In WOW, in order for my character to remain relevant and to be able to keep up with the gear curve I have to spend hours without end grinding in raids. On the other hand, in GW2, I will be able to jump in for  just15 to 30 min in WVW or quest with guildies and not be left behind. That's the "magic" of GW2, at least for me.

LOL...not this time I'm afraid.

I also played WOW from Beta and liked the mechanics compared to DAOC I had been playing.  The lore of wow is just awful, so much so that I rarely read the quest text.  If DAOC had the same UI mechanics as WOW I would have never left as that is a game rich in Lore.  Besides all that, Cata was the final nail in the coffin for me as I felt I had been completely ripped off.

WOW is now just a stand around in major cities waiting for instances to start, and then have people bitch about gear and of course the compulsory "let's run through this instant as fast as we can!".  Sad as it is, what was once an ejoyable *exploration* game has become this awful gear grinding beamoth.

Pandas?...give me a break...lol...I'd rather play Buckaroo with my kids.

You're def. not speaking for everyone.

Poll it.
