Ok, I gotta ask... What's the big deal with WoW?

I think you should be glad you don't know much about WoW. I know I am, I've seen what it does to people.

You're right, you're not twelve. You're probably some 35 year old bum living in his parents basement, leeching off their support so he can play MMORPGs all day long.

I've been playing MMOs since EQ originally came out and there's reasons WoW is so popular:

1) It has the Warcraft name and it's made by Blizzard. This means that mom and dad instantly are ok with it.

2) It piggybacked off of Diablo. Diablo and D2 were insanely popular games and WoW is the next "step-up".

3) It's acessable and simple to play and you level relatively quickly. My 56y.o. dad can play WoW with my brother and I and he does well. He never hit a single target in Counter Strike, Battlefield1942 made him motion sick, Rome: Total War took too much thought and strategy. But WoW? Now that's a game he can sit down and grind an hour or so per night and just plain have fun. The interface is easy, you don't have to micromanage skills (like EQ), you don't lose anything when you die (EQ and Lineage) and the end game involves more than just PvP (DAoC).

4) Everyone's doin it. I know it sounds cheesy but I play WoW with people I went to highschool with, my dad, my brother, my friends at college etc. We all hop on vent and shoot the breeze just like we used to and it's fun.

5) The PvP aspect. Nothing relieves stress as well as killing some alliance player that you don't know. Your peen grows about 10" instantly and you forgot that your wife is sleeping with your brother. Why? Because you know the other guy is screaming and beating his keyboard and crying about how overpowered your class is. For the people that die it gives them the drama that they are not getting in their every dyay life. Why are the ATOT boards so hostile? Why do every YAGT posters get chewed to bits? Because people lead generally boring lives and chewing out some person on the forums makes them feel better about themselves in a safe way...same way with WoW.

The biggest imho:
6) It's a giant treasure hunt. Every MMO is one grind after another, what else is there to do? But what makes WoW (and made Diablo2) so popular is killing super monsters to get a sweet drop. You play for weeks and eventually wonder why the heck you're even playing any more. You say "One last mob"...."ok, 1 more till I quit"...."Ok I swear this is the last one"...."bah forget it...well, one more" then BANG the Krol Blade drops from the next mob and you have reason to keep playing for a month.

awesome!! so if you're a moderate to average player you have to play the game for a couple months or more..... BEFORE THE GAME REALLY STARTS?! The game fvcking sucks, admit it, and then go play eq2

stfu. you say the same BS in every wow thread. you don't like it but you sure as hell spend a lot of time talking about it.

i don't like eq2, i played up to lvl 17 or so and hated it. maybe i should make posts bashing it all the time.

lick my bawlz nub. I spend a few months playing eq2 when it first came out, i went to wow for awhile, gave it a good try, got 2 level 60's, then I realized every time I logged in it was the same retarded crap all the time, so I went back to eq2 when pvp servers came out and have been fully satisfied with it. IMO everyone that plays wow is ghey. now get off my nutz kid.

I love posts like this. Blanket statements, personal attacks, and then he calls the other guy a kid. You're probably that 12 year old that got pissed that your repeated beggings for gold handouts or pleas to be run through (insert low level instance here) got you nowhere. "lick my bawlz nub". That just makes me laugh. I'm guessing that you must be all out of your energy drink, and it's making you cranky. I can't stand EQ2. Does that automatically make you "ghey"? No. It just means we are 2 different people with 2 different opinions. Grow the fvck up and learn that not everyone else on the planet will think like you. After all, diversity is the spice of life, as some say.

Nah, just thought I'd show you exactly how pointless it is to make such statements. And seeing as how I couldn't care less what your opinion of me is, I'm not going to let such childish statements even begin to bother me. It actually amuses me a bit... I can see why so many in OT find so much enjoyment exchanging banter with people like yourself. It really is fun! And I think Jujufish is right... you're probably not 12. Enjoy your EQ2. And another thing... its a fvcking video game. Perhaps you should think about developing some skills that might actually get yourself somewhere in life. Enjoy your cat.

You sound very bitter, guess you weren't very good at making friends so you could actually see some of the end game. I play the game now more than ever because of the people I've met, and I'm really looking forward to the expansion.

Right now the game is not in a good state for end game players because since the expansion which comes out in a month is a rebalancing of sorts, so we're stuck in limbo so to speak, with not a lot of raiding going on, mostly just pvp. Once the expansion comes out, that will all change though, so I'm pretty excited about that.

just look at his posts. only been here a few days (that is if he's really a new member) and already causing trouble on the forum.
