• • This s not about WAR vs. WoW

  • I had a strong feeling of that. For most gamers, they do a long stretch of an MMO (2-4 years), and then they start to ween off of it as they get burned out looking for the next big game. As someone who has done this a few times already, I'm already off my old game, and filling my time with random games until the next MMO that I want to play is released.

    As for your past history, I don't think Vanguard (buggy game) or Guild Wars (decent, but not as good as others) gives you a "proper" background. By this, I mean something like EQ, DAoC, City of X, or something along those lines. Each of those games had something very interesting going for it. Out of the ones you've played, I would rate WoW as being the best, and I can understand why you would stick with it. Also, it's not terrible, but I just don't get the feeling you've actually had a big game transition before. You could be one of those more die-hard gamers, that sticks with a game until it dies off.

    As to the genre, there is only one key feature which is new, and that is the Tome of Knowledge. The rest of it is just remake and apply settings. As for getting tired of the genre, you're only real off shoot for an MMO would be a sci-fi based one, and as of now there's only two. EVE and Tabula Rasa would be what you have to pick from. They both have their highlights, but I personally didn't find either of them to be that enjoyable. EVE was a pain mostly for the fact it takes a while to get things started, and it's impossible to catch up to the long time gamers due to the game's skill system. TR wasn't bad, it just got very repetitive past level 30 when the experience noticeably slowed down. I personally don't care if it's Sci-fi or Fantasy, since I go more for an interesting story line and good game play over settings.

    The big thing which I feel you have to ask yourself is "What is keeping you with WoW, that you can't do else where?". From my time in WoW (Nov 04 to Oct 07), it was fun, but the game has hit it's dead end. It's just like it was pre-bc in the fact there is nothing new to do. 2.4 added some nice content, but that won't last that long, and it will become stagnant again. WoW is a decent game, but it's not new or fresh, and each thing they put out is much more of a crutch to help the game limp along until it's next big release, than something which adds enjoyment onto the game.

  • Well, I don't know if they can say what they run or not, but I know most of the people I have talked to that are in beta run a system lower than mine. Mine's sitting at e6750 (overclocked to 3.2g), 8800gt (OC to 700/1750), 6 gigs of ram, with a vista 64b home premium.

    <--- Not in WAR beta, but I was in AoC beta.
