World of Warcraft...
 

Who on here plays still? I took a break for a month or so but am going to start playing again now.

My account ran out of 'credits' yesterday. Have to fill it up soon :)..

Pounded through the game in four months as a mage with a sharp guild, killed Onyxia, Ragnaros, all of MC, the whole nine yards, and finally came to this startling conculsion:

The game is one giant, boring, repetitive grind. Quit and never loaded it up again.

Battlegrounds was a little fun, added some extra spice, but that also got old. I guess just not enough variety maybe. It seemed that even the Molten Core was no different in playstyle than the first instance I ever played in the game...

Still a good memory, but thankfully JUST a memory. Needed to get back to work, lol.

Yeah it's grinding and stuff. But when you got a base of ppl or some RL friends or just ppl you know... and play togehter with them, its quite cool :)

As I said, been there, done that. Even with friends, it gets real real old doing that 50th instance run...not many laugh-out-loud moments once you've logged five hundred or more hours.

It actually left me disappointed, as I am connected to that industry, and know the developers personally, and they are incredibly talented. The Steven Speilbergs and Martin Scorseses of their field, no question. And even they couldn't create a video game that wasn't fairly shallow in terms of repetitive play.

Makes me think the entire video game genre will never expand out to what people like myself thought it would be 20 years ago...

My 13 year old brother is hooked on that game...He would sit there 24 hours and play that if you let him. I thought we were going to have to do an intervention with him LOL

not anymore...i wont accomplish anyhting if i do...:D

after 35 ish days of playtime i quit and cancelled my account. i had to choose between living in azeroth or england, i think i made the right choice :)

i played since beta and on eu servers didnt manage to get to ragnaros in mc, it was hard enough to get 40 people that were l60 anyway. last resort managed to take down kazzak for the first time on our server at about the time i quit, battlegrounds wasnt around then, i still miss it.. but wont go back.

i'm playing right this moment :(

World of Warcraft...the game that beats you

Myself, and Gateway, and I think another person from this board just started playing on Sageras. only level 6 so far.

Come join us! (my name is Colpanic on the realm also)... We could form the porno clan.

Aw I can't connect to US servers

Just stoped my payment for that game. It was very boring the last few weeks. I dont want to hang out in high-lvl instances for hours for a crappy set item. Battlegrounds are funny, but not enough to keep me paying for it. Maybe I'll start playing BF2 now

Well I learned this valueable lesson from EQ years ago. These games are much more fun if you play them like a marathon and not a sprint. Take your time, enjoy every essence of the game. There is no need to be the first person to do this or that. No one will ever remember that you are that person anyways.

There are a bunch of us from the board and the industry on Tichondrious. So if anyone wants to join us several of us are already 60 and have alts of all levels.

Hit me up any time

Just started playing it again, I have a lvl 30 human Pala, right now its fun, dont know how fun it will be in a few weeks though :upsidedow

Mako you ever sell your character after you quit?

yea sell it to me :winkwink:

Blackwing Lair came out. Another 40-person raid. With Tier-2 epic items, and bosses much harder than MC.
