 Topic: WoW: Dare I Take the Plunge?Posted: 21 October 2008 at 11:34pm |

So I've been wanting to play WoW for a long time. I guess finding a private server would solve the unwillingness to pay for a monthly subscription, but I honestly don't know how to go about finding a private server...
Anyway, I was just looking over WoW's website. Holy. Freaking. Gawd. TOO much stuff. I have no idea where to start! Jeez, I don't even know what I want to do. Right now, it's kind of a tie between offensive magic (like a mage or a warlock) or brute force kind of things. What do you guys like doing? So yeah. World of Warcraft is a bit too big for me. Thoughts? Tips? Suggestions? |

Yes, play. I played for a few months and it was a blast. Finally, I got too busy and had too little time to play to justify the $15 a month.
I was a Undead rogue. Right before I quit, I made a Blood Elf pally (or hunter, don't remember), but didn't get anywhere with it. |

from my personal experience, having never played it but similarly addictive games, don't get into it. it becomes...well i'll finish this one quest and then i'll be done for the night...and a few hours later you've gone no where.

GI Joe: Well, I'm concerned about that as well, but the MMORPG's that I've played have failed to hold my interest, all the way from Runescape to Ragnarok to Dream of Mirror Online. I've heard good things about WoW, so I want to get a free demo to try it out. If it totally freakin' rocks, I may buy a month and go from there.
On that note, if you don't pay, does your account go away? Or do they "hold" it until you pay again? I'd much rather find a private server, but if I enjoy it enough, who knows... Edited by DeTrevni - 21 October 2008 at 11:41pm |

I'm going to make a different recommendation and suggest Warhammer Online instead of WoW. The PvP/RvR elements are fantastic as well as PvE. Not to mention the game is relatively new so your not that far behind.

You ca't think of anything more productive to do rather than play wow for hours on end? Is that really what you want to get into?

Runescape baby!
Actually that game has gotten pretty big too, and I've heard WoW is even bigger so I can only imagine how crazy it is. |

Last I heard, they hold your account for an indefinite period of time. I played alot for about 6 months, got distracted by a shiny object one day and quit for a while, came back after about 6 months and it's all still there. I had forgotten the fine details of how my undead warlock worked so I created an undead mage and only got to about lvl 13 before quiting again, lol. |

I'm looking at an Undead Warlock. Zombies rule, and summoning demons rules. But I also like offensive magic, so I'm toying with the idea of being a Mage too.
On that note: CURSE YOU VILE INTERNET!!! I'm DLing the 10 day demo: "7 hours remaining." Crap. I wanted to play tonight. :'( |

private servers are rather pointless. You miss out on the sense of accomplishment when you actually earn things. When the server admin can just push a button, and do everything instantly.

^^^ So you think it's worth the monthly fee? I'll give it a shot. I'm not too keen on spending $180 a year just to play a video game though. We'll see.

How does the trial CD's work? Are they the full game for only a few days? I'm downloading the 10 day trial from Blizzard's site right now, but I don't know how extensive it is. It says it's only a trial account, meaning (I assume) that when the 10 days are gone, my account goes bye-bye. Will the trial CD key let me upgrade it to a full-fledged account for a limited time or something?
