Is WoW worth it

Honestly, a good "MMO" type of game that doesn't require constant attention or a monthly fee is Guild Wars. Been playing it off and on since launch, and it's always a lot of fun. It's a bit more restrictive than WoW and isn't the same open world persistent situation, but it's in the same vein and there's a lot of stuff to do.

Guild Wars isn't an MMO. It has never been nor ever will be an MMO. The developers never called it an MMO, it is a CORPG. It is not massively multiplayer. You are limited to 8 people at most to play with. It is really not comparable to any other RPGs, for that matter. Cap level is 20, which you can go straight to and skip the marginal PvE campaign that offers the same equipment to everyone. PvP is the point to the game, the rest is filler. There is not "a lot of stuff to do."

Guild Wars is the biggest letdown I've ever experienced. I feel the pain everytime I put on my Arena.net shirt. I really should throw it away one of these days, but it has more practical use to me than the game did... which I did throw away.

no. but i couldnt stand the others..

evercrack sucked, to me.. i couldnt stand the game.
Star Wars Galaxies was horrid.. i didnt last a month
The Matrix Online seemed interesting at first.. that lasted 2 weeks.

Not sure how you can enjoy WoW and not Everquest. I can't find one thing about WoW that isn't inferior to EQ2. I never played SWG but it sounds like a heartbreak to those that did. The Matrix Online... that is a sad story too. The game is gone now so best to just let it go.

Have you played EQ2 or just tried the first game a long time ago?

Tried the first one along time ago. Wasn't a big fan of mmorpg. The only reason i got into wow was a bunch of friends were playing and needed another player.

I can understand that. I generally quit an MMO when the group falls apart. None of my friends play WoW though. The only group of people I know playing an MMO is playing WAR.
