Damn it ... I'm still hooked (lv 52 pally, 32 rogue, 21 warrior). Although I'm STILL waiting for that Atari announcement on BG3 :-P Until then or NWN2, I see no reason to quit yet and I've been playing since early Dec.

Have a level 46 Mage on Uther. WoW is not the best MMO I've played but its fun and it also caters to the 'casual' gamer, like myself. I don't have a lot of time to invest in an MMO and probably shouldn't even bother with them but with WoW I can jump on for a few hours a night and still come away with the feeling that my character is progressing in the game. Plus I get to hang out with some of my friends, so I feel the $15 p/mo is being well spent.

 

In response to Sirus's claim that WoW is a 'boring grind like every other mmo" --- Have you played WoW? If so, how far did you get and which class did you play? I've played Dark Age, Everquest, Asheron's Call, Final Fantasy XI and City of Heroes. WoW doesn't come close to the 'boring' grind those games put you through. I've gone 1-46 and this game has yet to be a grind for me. If anything people criticize WoW for being a "care bear" mmo, too easy.

Don't be a smart ass. The MMO's I listed are the biggest out there currently. I was trying to make a point that when you compare those games to WoW you don't have the same boring level grind. There is still a grind, yes, but its no where near as painful that some of the others put you through.

 

As for Guild Wars, I'm enjoying my time in WoW and see no reason to move onto something else.

It wasn't to offense you Setzer, I only asked because of the number of MMO you played. I don't know how is in the NA servers, but in the Euro servers, Blizzard haven't put the honor and dishonour, and you have almost all time the chars lvl 50-60 of the alliance and the Horde killing the low lvls of the other side, and with that the game is too bored.

It isn't very funny be killed 10 times in an a afternoon for a char lvl 50-60 when you are only lvl 26 and you can't do anything against a lvl 50-60.

Whats my status in WOW?

Currently playing WOW 66 hours a week.

 

Started on Febuary 11th, 2005.

 

I have 2 "Rosswitchen" characters.

1 on Khadgar PvE server. 1 on Tichonderous PvP server.

 

I run 2 non-Guild goldpiece money making organizations called the Orbb Corporation. Orbb sells raw materials and potions in Auction House everyday. Over 100 members / associations in Khadgar server (company HQ u might say), and a weak starter franchise on Tichonderous ( 11 player members / associates ).

 

Orbb depends on the following: Gatherers ( rogue miner / herbalists ), Auction House Stockbrokers ( AH buy / sell price specialists), Chemists ( I never have enough of these ), Engineers ( to turn our stone / fabric into higher selling dynamite ), a few blacksmiths, and a few leatherworkers. 80% of members are gatherers, who "feed" the money making machine. Members don't see eachother, since all business is conducted through the mail.

 

Members are part of various other guilds..or are non-guilded...for their "fun" time activities.

 

Need to study servers, or find a player?

 

go to www.warcraftrealms.com

 

Why am I setting up on Tichonderous PvP server ?

 

Tichonderous is 1 of the earliest servers made, and is thus using better computer hardware. Newly made servers seem to be getting weaker computers and server babysitters, just to meet the demand for handling the new thousands of extra players.

 

Generally all servers capp out at 20,000 players. There are about 98 servers so far.

 

Tichonderous (PvP)was also picked as my primary server, because Horde outnumber the Alliance here, more than any other stable server (53% of players are Horde). And I only play Alliance, so wanted the greatest challenge. Khadgar (PvE) was picked originally to learn the game, and it had the least lag for me.

 

Need help playing WOW?

 

You can contact me by making a temp / perm character in Tichonderous, then either whisper to me, or mail to me. Add a note u r from Obsidian Forum, so I don't scratch my head about why a stranger is talking to me.

 

Posting here may not work. Was ummm 2? months since I last posted in Obsidian. Plus they keep changing forum organization, which keeps me lost in here.
