the "society" allways had its way of setting "universal" opinions, but it never considered the individuality of the situations (or something like that, sorry for my bad english, it's hard to say such a thing if it's not your native)

the thing is:
I bet they had hell of a god time !!!  

... but that's my personal opinion and i'm not pushing it anyhow ...

this comment may sound like little off topic, but i had opportunity to observe wc3 offline gaming community since i am from the country that has bad internet access and high level of pirated games. so, since i worked in a kind of internet/gaming caffe i looked how people reacted to wc3 LAN gameplay only because we didn't have original games to play online. The number of players increased at stunning rate. Some minor competitions were held and the maddness rose... After a while no other games were played including Counter Strike, CoD, Q3 etc (i'm counting FPSs on purpose just to point out, because no other RTS was played either). And that situation lasted for believe it or not couple years (by the way it still lasts), so i'm not wonderstruck by your disscussion even if it's passed so long from game release.

My opinion is that wc3 has increadibly adictive gameplay, i've seen it in affect, but to be honest it never had me as a fan. I tryed wow too, using some shallow cracked gameserver just to look at landscape, and it kinda left some impression, but still not breathtaking. so concearning the wow gameplay i don't have anything to say.

and to continue in the manner of "market research" storyline i recently discovered that some internet caffe in my town has original wow that can be played online. so i went to ask them about the people coming to play it. And the expected and dissapionting truth was that even the wow was at their hand people still played wc3 and it's various mods, not even thinking about wow, so the owners discontinued it.

and to point out my personal oppinion: i don't like either game. i don't play rtss and for mmorpg, there are far better titles than wow.

that much from me, i hope this was in the manner of you discussion.

Cheers!!!

about rubberbanding: I had similar problem in the Junkyard (Neutral training ground) when I tried to play AO with Dial-up. And it didn't bother me that much, I could still move with little more patience, and I knew the reason, it was'n the "computer resources", it was network bandwidth!

So I think that maybe it way "bad bandwidth day" for you when you tried it.

As for when the free account ends....I doubt they will end it because I'm sure their making good money from the Ads for Coke and Fantana and The Island (all the ads I've seen at least....might be more)

I've downloaded the free client recently. So is it that you are suggesting buying the exps now, or is it maybe better to spend some time on Rubi-Ka only, gain some XP and some interesting items and then upgrading to the exps???

One more thing, concerning shipping the retail packages. Do you know if they ship it worldwide because my country (Serbia) is know for not-getting-anything-that-is-ordered-over-internet reputation?

By the way this is my first time ever playing some MMORPG because only recently I got the chance of installing any kind of broadband connection.

I also downloaded the free client recently, and everything seem to work as it should, you respawn regulary, with all your items & XP saved until level 10 I think.

But, since the client is free and I downloaded and istalled it first at my work computer, I got an idea of trasfering it home where I have far "more slower" connection and couldn't even think of downloading the client. And there is one issue that I noticed. When I last logged off from the game at work, I had 2 quests active, and was in the middle of solving the second, non-main quest picked up from the terminal. And the other quest was "beginer-finding-the-secondhand-paddler" one. And when I installed the game at home and logged in, the second quest wanished and I was out of the "cave" I was last in when solving the second quest without a way to get back in or to continue the second quest.

So the purpose of what I wrote is, the game works just as it should, but some awarness when logging out while in the middle of a quest.
