I quit WoW a long time ago... since then I have tried numerous other games...none of them have even come close in the overall experience that WoW gives you. Despite how much WoW is globally hated, does anyone else think it is still the best MMO out there by far? I was totally disgusted by the game when I left, but it is by far more addicting and better made than most other games I have played.

 

 

PS: I quit a month or so pre WOTLK

 

No never played it never want to, not my type of playstyle , too much handholding, limited in every respect, no freedom, no player housing,  level based, instanced PVP, cearbear thru and thru, and by the looks of it you will never like another game cause not all MMOs are like WOW (thankfully) so what ur looking for is in WOW and no where else.

 

 

a lot of judgements based on one post. If you've never even played it... then you really can't even say anything about it.

 

the things that make WoW great are far beyond any of those.

 

Basically no lag what so ever

 

What kind of comp. do you have... Everyone I know has quite a bit of lag.

Great community (if you look hard enough)

Need to look REALLY hard lol. Way to many immature people.

Enough quests to keep you interested in at least your first grind to the cap

While I am not a big fan of "grind fests". I think WoW is a little to easy to level in.

Nearly NO BUGs

This I will have to agree on.

Nearly NO HACKS

And this as well, but there are some around.

If there is any bugs, they are nearly almost fixed immediately.

Generally yes.

never a question of enough population

Just a question of finding the non-retards.

And overall.... enormously stable

Yes.

Fun BG PVP (IMO)

Hardly. WoW pvp is pretty terrible.

 

 

 

So what if it is carebear. if it functions better than any other game, and can keep you interested for a great deal of time, who cares.

 

Would I rather play Darkfall which is as "hardcore" as it gets and have to macro all day, or have tremendous lag and all the other problems that infest that game. Or play WoW which is "care bear" but is incredibly stable and very fun for the most part, or at least your first time through.

 

I also love this notion of a game being "Care bear". ITS A GAME. All games are care bear. No one is dying in real life, who cares if you lose your gear or not. That is not make or break for any game. I went in wanting to play Darkfall because of all the hardcore things I heard, but overall it sucked balls despite the full loot pvp and all that other nonsense that amounts to nothing with all other problems considered.

 

 

While I respect people's opinions, WoW is just not a game I will ever miss. I honestly wish the game was never made due to some of the crap it brought to the mmo world. The only reason I played it so long was friends, couldn't care less about the game.

I won't get into what I don't like about it because it doesn't matter. To answer the OP's question, no I don't consider it the best mmo out there, not even close.

I guess that depends on what server you play on, but last time I was in Stormwind I was camped by 50 or so alliance :(.

All I want...

Is for the game to come out on time...

This is exactly why WoW is on top.

They make changes to mold their game to the current player base instead of telling them "suck it up you pussies, you're not HARDCORE enough to play our game".

Blizzard is always doing what it can to make the game more accessible to new players instead of chasing them off with a shot gun.

Its a good thing you forum dwelling zombies dont run an MMORPG.

 

 

I'm sorry but I don't agree with a company ruining a game because people whine on the forums. Mounts were fine before, and if people are to lazy to farm a little gold for it, they don't deserve to ride it. This is 1 of the reasons I don't like WoW. They may be the richest mmo out there, but personally I don't consider them the top mmo. I relize they are in the business to make money, and they know how to do that. Personally I would like to have a quality game under my name.

Pretty soon WoW will play itself for the player...

Actually, there has been little to no whining over this issue. Blizzard realized the leveling dynamics have changed, as the level has increased to 80, so they made a much needed change to how mount works (see my above post for an example).

My comment wasn't mainly for this change, but overall what they have done to the game throughtout the years. I will point out I have played since beta to up to a few months ago, I am not someone who just jumps on the WoW haters bandwagon. I don't think this change is needed really, leveling in WoW is hardly a choir. It really doesn't take long to get from place to place.

EVE

you can never hope to train every skill in that game to max... new once keep coming out also hehe... so EVE nobody has every skill in that game trained.  Iv been playing since 2004 and I do not even have half of all the skill trained to max.

Actually there is 1 person I know of who has every skill trained so far, even ones that have been removed from the early game. There was someone else who was very close as well. Of course they are not maxed, but every skill is not that far fetched.

Edit for spelling because it's to damn early.

Edit(2) I guess I forgot about the new expansion. Doubt he has the new ones that came with that lol.

Would EVE fall into this catagory?

Can't recall where I heard this from, but I thought it was fake. This is what I call good advertising.

Guess that confirms it, though it's dated back to 2006.

Yeah I noticed the date, but the page was last modifed Dec. '08, so I thought it might still be relavent.

No. Closest thing to that is monster play in LOTRO. And im sorry, nobody wants to be a level 1 rat all day long....

I sure hope it doesn't take you all day to get to level 2..

And I can't see this working really well.

Sorry, hardcore and casual are competing play styles and I'm sick to death of developers trying to integrate both into their games.  Get over it already and make seperate hardcore and casual games and stop punishing the players for your laziness.

Creating twice the game is lazy?

Notice he said trying to integrate both, they never get it right when they try both systems in the same game.

Though i have had my character "Balanced" a few times :)

Winner.

Sure wish I could get them to send me that e-mail lol. This is really annoying. I have tried hotmail, and yahoo accounts, nothing seems to work.
