15 bucks a month is still too much.

Christ, when is Blizzard going to come out with an even mediocre game? If this is really that good, that means, the past four games have been Starcraft, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3 and now this (not counting expansions). That's a lineup of PC classics. But alas, being at college I must spend the little money I have on other things. I can't afford the 15 bucks a month.

not that the zombie drones would let it be a mediocre game. The nation of korea stands at attention.

WOW is great....if you like MMorpgs...
if you really dont have the patience or time for mmorpgs...then its not gonna be as good as others say but still good cause its so streamlined and userfriendly compared to other mmorpgs.

bullshit...WoW falls into all the traps that other MMOs fall into, though it doesn't stumble as hard as any others I've tried
I found no enjoyment beyond the initial few hours*. Halo2, Half-Life 2, Vampire, MGS3, GTASA, Metroid, Pikmin, Jak, and R&C are more fun, individually, and require less time to achieve closure, collectivly
*chalk this up to wising up to MMOs I guess

I think if the mentality going to play MMORPG is to "beat the game" then you've lost the point. I think a good analogy of MMORPG is that they're similar to real life, in that in life, you don't win "Life", you just exist. You may have goals you wish to achieve, but life doesn't end when you graduate, get married, have kids, or become president of a nation or company. You don't get a scrolling screen with credit of you parent/family, friends, teachers, co-workers. In MMORPG, you need to choose a goal, and then move on, just like life.
But that's just IMO.

WoW is the ultimate expression of the EverQuest/Ultima Online MMO model.
It's a lot lot lot of fun.
But yeah - it's still rooted in the same core concepts.

I can understand this. I know that prior to WOW, for myself at least, I could not get into MMORPG. Played them all since Meridian and UO was in alpha, but I could not get past lvl 15-20 for a majority of them. I even payed to play DAoC, but my 3 month subscription went to waste.
With WoW, the quest system keeps me occupied and the world seems to be "full" which, at least for me is great. I had a lot of fun in the ST and OB.

WoW is a MUCH more fulfilling experience when playing with friends. It's just great being with a small group of friends tackling each others quest, going out and exploring new zones and dungeouns. Gasping when someone from your group lands a oj/red "elite" quest taking you into an epic dungeoun.
My only complaint about WoW is that there really isn't much downtime (something I'd never though I'd complain about :el oh el). Granted, I only got my priest up to level 19 in the OB, so maybe that changes in the higher levels.

Speaking of WoW...did anyone happen to watch the new movie on Fileplanet? The "I Surrender" fan made movie.
It's actually pretty good.

I tell you with all this technology and advancement we have had over nearly 10 years since Ultima Online came out I still think Ultima Online in its first form was the BEST. No MMO I have played including whatever the hell it is that Ultima Online morphed into is anywhere near as good as Ultima Online was after a while. The only thing about that game that stunk was how hard it was to keep your stats from getting all wacky. Otherwise Ultima Online is the first and the best.
