Hahah, yeah, the South Park WoW episode is awesome.

I never got played WoW - I'd prefer to spend both the time and the money on other things. Played it a few times on other people's accounts, but I can't say I was particularly impressed.

I have never played WoW. I know of it, but never got interested in playing.

I am not for the monthly fees, that is for sure.

The South Park episode was hilarious....

Not necessarily anti... but I'm not really a fan of WoW myself.

The monthly fees do not bother me. I just do not play the game.

I was really into WoW. Even though I'm rather old school gamer, I didn't pick up EQ, and WoW was my first MMORPG.

In all, I don't see why people are against it, (at least enough to make a thread over it).

I played ravenously, staying up to 1-2am every night in order to burn off a few more bars of experience. I really enjoyed it too. Yes, there's truth the one-more-level is a huge draw, but that isn't what gets you coming back. It's the people. The game itself is fun, but it would be a horrible game except for the people.

Except from the most competitive and organized FPS guilds, you'll never see the sort of teamwork found in WoW in any other MMORPG. I fondly remember when Molten Core was one of the hardest instances, and doing that with 30-40 people all on Ventrilo was really something.

I quit recently, played a month of Vanguard, and I'm now probably going to restart my City of Heroes account. MMO's are fun as you get to compare yourself to others, and you get to level up with others.

I played for a good 3 months soon after it came out. It wasn't user friendly, I always got lost or confused after reaching level 25+. Very time consuming as well, unfortunately I only had so much time to play it, so in the long run I didn't like it much, wasn't for me.

Monthly fee shouldn't be more then $10 a month, especially with all the subscribers WoW has.

I really haven't even heard of your problem.

Among the MMORPG community, WoW is frowned upon for being so easy. I recently moved into Vanguard, and I've also frequented City of Villains/Heroes, and both are much harder than WoW, and far less forgiving (for example, both have experience loss upon death).

Not only that, leveling up is much more difficult, and grouping is a must. But grouping has to be flawless, for if every team member doesn't play his part perfectly, the group is going to wipe, and people will lose experience, and durability (which is a much larger issue in Vanguard than it is in WoW).

However, you are right to bring up the point that WoW is time consuming. At the later levels, skill is more of a virtue, but on the 1-50 grind, it's all about just putting your time in. That's not to say it's not fun, it's absolutely a blast to hang out in a Ventrilo server and mess around, but that might not be for everyone.

For your comment on monthly fees, I think that's subjective. For a while, I was paying for both WoW and City of Villains, and that rounded up at $40 a month, and I was fine with it. I'm not well off, but I think it's really worth it.

Simply doing the math for WoW, I got my money's worth.

Consider a normal game costs $60, and you get 12 hours play from it. That's $10 for 2 hours.

For WoW, it's around $40 to buy it. I won't get into business economics, but that value soon gets nulled by 'economies of scale' (means, I'm spreading that $40 over so many months, it's not much). Then, I'm paying $20 a month (Canadian). If I was playing probably 15 hours a week, for only $20 a month, it's worth it. If you're going to let it rot on your shelf though, I can see the complaint.

It's not for everyone, but I found it a great introduction into professional MMORPG's in general (breaking from the Tibia's, and the RPGWO's, which is actually a fantastic game).

Well I guess its because I wasn't use to that type of MMORPG. I played ultima online for 8 years before playing WoW. Everytime there was a quest, I'd have a hard time trying to complete it unless I was with a friend.

I like old school MMORPGS, unfortunately they're dieing, asheron's call was another awesome game, leveling wasn't very time consuming either.
