I remember when WOW stood for "wip'em out Wednesday". You can figure he rest.

If AH ever releases its new version (no idea what its called now) you will have your virtual pilot and do missions and gain experience and upgrades for your plane/pilot.

Basically its WoW with planes and no Auction House.  I wonder if you can get a +20 Hispano damage enchant with enough points.....

I play both, and enjoy both.  What I like best about the games, is the group of people I met in them.

My supervisor used to love teasing my coworker and I about our online gaming. 

I'd rave about my Aces High exploits, usually describing some air to air encounter with lots of hand motions and the like.

My coworker would boast about his level 41 druid and some raid he and his crew did the evening before.

I had no use for Warcraft, he had no use for WW2 flight sims.

But my boss agreed listening to Aces High was far, far more interesting

Aye LePaul .. WoW and AH are very much two different experiences.

What cracks me up in any role-play-fantasy genre is when someone goes off about how much 'skill' it takes ..

..they literally have no idea of the level of skill required here or in any decent first person shooter.

There are a lot of things that blizzard has done for game play that really make it a lot of fun tho
Equipment is just not that big a deal. The 'Uber Rare' elite stuff has better 'numbers' and some limited effects that are cool ..but ..the average character just equipped with quest bits and 'green' (common) gear can do just fine ..the DPS-Healing-Tanking ..whatever, is all very well done for gameplay.. a modicum of common sense is required when you choose yer fight

If it's an elite mob your level or more, get friends
If it's a room fulla grays, you still have to be careful with that Area-of-Effect uber nuke ..if they arent one-shot kills the swarm may beat you down before you can take them all out
(Fuddthoo .. my gnome wiz-engineer ..is always testing that .. LOL)

Small unit tactics ..gotta have some .. but skill? .. well .. not very much required ..
..orders of magnitude less than dancing in a cloud layer aginst <insert any plane type here> that is well flown.

I was an avid wargamer, sucked into D&D when it came out, then G-man hooked me on AW ..then came LoK, EQ, ..and now WoW is the latest .. I enjoy AH ..just rather spend my spare time in WoW these days.

BLizzard did a heck of a job on graphics, gameplay, character balance, and sheer fun factor compared to all the role-playing games that came before. Wait'll you get a load of the Succubus minion that Warlock's can earn ..she cracks me up *every* time
(guess it's because I useda know 3 ladies over the years that she could have been modeled from ..low drag, hi-speed, party girls all the way, very hi-maintenance)

Same here, I play both and enjoy both. Main reason as Skernsk said, I enjoy both more so because of the players I met and the squad and clan I am in.

Aye .. the people can make or break a game.

Nothin like workin with a good team, setting up, target(s) sighted, boxin him(them), and leaving the target(s) no way out as you take him(them) down.

AH or WoW .. -g- ..frankly it's easier in WoW

I had a friend ( big DAOC player ) and what he said was "that game is hard" hehe .

He just didn't know how it was gonna be till he tried it for himself
