Ok ok .. I tried it.

Got way sucked in.

It's actually a lot more fun than vanguard .. gameplay is better than VG or EQ was.

You can duel by invitation only.. PvP by option setting ..Horde vs Alliance wars here an there (you sign up and get called to battle when the teams are even on each side ..sheesh .. I tried to boom an zoom with my Warlock in Warsong Gulch but got sucked into turn fights and wacked by Rogue-dweebs (similar to spit-dweebs but worse!)

-on Garona server, Alliance side, in the Onorary Order of the Ovine .. shuuda done this years ago natch.

MT'd 40mans before the expansion, and 25mans after it.

Quit now. Spare yourself.

I tried WoW for a couple months after much ranting by a guy at work. Thought it was the lamest POS software that's ever graced my computer.

You run around killing things at or just below your level to gain items to auction so you can eventualy buy powerful goodies. Yes there are quests and wars and duels.

As you kill your level goes up. But it takes weeks to months for an average player. You have to post auctions to earn money to purchase power in its many magical down to inanimate object forms.

The free market end of the game has to be masterd if you realy want to get anywhere. Lucking onto hot goodies is a poor stratagie. So you spend inordinate amounts of time doing make work killing things to get a booty stash to sell for silver and gold.

Killing other players and monsters in quests, wars, and duels is a direct result of the goodies you can afford, not fighting skill. Money is the ultimate power supporting game play.

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

If you like world of warcraft here's another game you should try. Anarchy Online, totally FREE. No time limits on the free accounts either.

I played WoW for a bit... You know, I'm not one for Level Grinding.  

Couldn't stand it in Maple Story, couldn't stand it in Gun Bound, couldn't stand it in any game I've ever played.  

Except maybe Monster Hunter.  But that might have more to do with the fighting huge monsters part.

Ignoring that, it's a decent game, if you have a lot of free time, and a lot of money laying around.  Personally, I'd rather spend 30$ on two months of Aces High than one month of WoW.  

At least my old computer met AHs old... requirements...  

*sobs on his pent III Coppermine 870mhz, 280mbs of ram, and 32mbs of video ram*  :cry

Edit: If my prices are off, blame it on being up for far too long.

That's really, really, really far off the mark.

Quests give out mostly crap gear. Duels give out no gear. There are no wars, just pvp battlegrounds that reset every game. Gold is helpful, but not neccessary. The only thing you need gold for is consumables, if you choose not to spend a single hour farming them for yourself.

1 hour of farming can get you enough materials to raid for the week, without killing a single npc.

The good gear only comes from either PVP, specifically the 2v2, 3v3, & 5v5 bracket arenas, and 25man raiding. Your starter epics come from 10 man "raiding".

You can beat anything in the game without the best gear using simple strategy and team work.

I was pretty wild during my "college days." But, if it involved pills or a needle I just said no. Same with WoW. That's not a monkey I need hanging around on my back :)
