Should I just go back to wow? lol /cry

Well I havn't played wow in a lil over a year now. Been waiting and hoping for a newer better game to come out but I am severely disappointed. By taking a look at the major upcomming games like Warhammer Age of conan Darkfall and some others I can see that these games are complete jokes. I just don't get it. I really want to play a MMO but theres just nothing good out there it seems.

if you think im full of shit just goto youtube and watch warhammer aoc and darkfall videos then watch a WoW video.

If you guys know of any other up and coming games please post a link so I can check them out

p.s im really not trying to make another WOW IS teh greatest thread but honest to god what the **** is going on in the gaming industry.

Just play WoW and actually have fun.
These games don't know how to satisfy a customer.

Agreed. I'm playing WoW now and jesus christ, why does this game own every other game, even though I'm level 16?

You could take a break from the online gaming and perhaps play a single player game, or even an online game that doesn't involve the PC.

Sorry, but I will laugh at that for hours on end.

From 1-70, I have never done an instance and soloed everything. The only things I have never soloed are certain situations in Outland.

You only need to do instances if you want to gain any serious honor or to do dungeon quests.

Now if you said GW = instances, I would not have posted.

But in order to have one of the top gears in game, you gotta do instances. :p

I constantly ask myself "What's the point of MMO's?" because it seems that you just level and level to get to a certain point and stop.

WoW changed me though! T.T I don't know what it is, but the game is just so addictively fun! ^_^

I'd say: keep playing WoW, and join the Muradin server! =D

dude, if you LIKE WoW then you should PLAY WoW

dont feel you have to move onto another game just because "omg wow is sooo mainstream all the idiots play it, im cool i play this mmo youve never heard of because its SO innovative" blah blah blah

who gives a smeg. just play the games you like playing.

i mean, if playing a game becomes a chore then you know its time to move on.... if you still find it fun, then play it!

who cares if some armchair revolutionary intent on revitalising the gaming world calls you a sheep or whatever.... are you playing games just to please him????? naaaaah, course not.

play WoW now!

To get the best gear in the game you either have to Raid (which is an instance) PvP (which takes just as much time) or Arena (which again, is time consuming).

So yes, technically, to get the good gear you have to "instance". No game is going to hand you free things. You have to spend time in order to get rewards in WoW, unfortunately. It's not that hard, honestly. Pick something you want and just grind for it.

I'm currently playing WoW myself. Got a 70 UD Mage and a 67 BE Rogue. If anyone is wanting to play, just give me a hollar!

Sorry, I dont worry about instances. I obtained all my good gear in the AH or in drops. Being a farmer by choice means you average about 100 gold an hour. I have been able to obtain armors and weapons that can compete with anything in raids, PvP, and Arena. Besides, with the "no talents" they have in WoW, you really dont need good gear to kick their asses.

Its as if they just learned to PvP. I guess that is why I say WoW is a beginner's introduction to MMORPGs. We can argue this for as long as you want. In the end, I know what I can do and get. That's that.

I'm sorry, but that's pretty much impossible. To get the best gear in the game you absolutely 100% HAVE to raid. But that's what many people don't understand, you don't have to do that or even raid to enjoy WoW. Many aspects of the game appeal to casual gaming just as how the new Sunwell and Magisters Terrace will appeal to more experienced/Hardcore.

I fall comfortable into the "Mildcore" demographic. I'm satisfied with my character and whenever I can raid I'm usually able to. If I don't feel like doing that though, I can hop on another character, do some quests, PvP a bit or maybe hop in a short instance. Seriously, my guilds Ramparts speed run contest was one of my best experiences so far.

I wouldn't.

But, it's up to you. Not my choice, it's your choice, people won't make it for you.

God damnit stop arguing with cyber, its a never-ending charade of ignorance from every place >.>
If cybers farming 100 gold an hour he obviously has enough stuffed down his pants to buy some shit.
Just because one way is the mainstream way of doing things to get stuff; doesnt mean that it's the only way.

Now shut up and help this kid.

It wasn't child porn, it was different porn. And how was i supposed to know they get pissed over one little nude site? :(

But that was the first time i got temp banned, this time it was for the use of a 3rd party software. I still have no clue what it was that corrupted my game files to make it seem like i was cheating...maybe my model edits?

Well, it's kind of common sense to not post anything porn related in WoW. But a while ago my account was temporarily banned for "Third party software", when the only kind of third party software I used were coordinate and map mods. I called in and they said that I was actually banned for sharing my account (My friends and I dual-boxed). Other than that Blizzard has been spot on with my support.

well you can do what i did and just do a free trial on any p2p mmo you can and if you still like wow over those then stick to wow

WoW is quite a waste of time and money IMO, unless you are actually going to accomplish something and can sell of your account to make some of the money back, making all those hours of enjoyment pretty much... free.

Don't play WoW, I managed to quit after a year of non-stop playing.

Whatever you do, don't play it.
