World of Warcraft

what's with this game anyways? I mean no offense and all just wondering y everyone seems to like it

 

It's one of the most addictive games known to humanity... I played for 2 years and got rather sucked in (I was an endgame raider, I quit the week my guild killed Illidan). I do regret how much time I spent on it, but I can't change the past.

Really? So what's an endgame raider and Illdian? I mean I liked the old warcraft games well the second one till our CD broke. I mean if I knew at least a bit about it I can decide if I'd like to try it out.

 

Endgame raider, peopel who play for the sole purpose of completing hard highlevel instances.

Illidan is a corrupted Druid who resides in Black Temple, he is an endgame boss.

 

I see, I was talking this girl in one of my classes and she said she took down a god level thing in the game. Is that good?

 

Hmm =/ I suppose she means she took down something with a level '??' Which means it's a raid boss, so yea, as long as she got some good loot out of it. Unless she was just helping to take it down.

 

well y can't u play anymore?

 

I used to play, but I've quit. I find myself holding a significant grudge against both Bliz and WoW. I have my reasons, but they're not for this thread - that would be trolling. Instead, I will simply indicate that I've been severely displeased with the game and the way things have been going in its development, and have switched back to playing Guild Wars full-time.

MMO addiction is a very dangerous thing. I wrote an article on it in Full Spectrum Magazine's second issue, I believe. I highly recommend that you read it, if you have any desire to play WoW in the future. When you start skipping school or calling in sick to work in order to play a game, that's when you really have to examine your habits and ask yourself if a game is worth damaging your life over.

 

Dont do it. It's addictive. Like crack.

>.<

 

ugh

Thank god I only play probably 5 hrs a week now

 

It is an addiction, but you can overcome it. I did. I still play, for fun, but I keep it in perspective with everything else.

Yeah, I can't seem to level an alt aside from my druid.

 

It's great to see so many people moving on from their addictions to WoW ^^ When I first became fed up with the game, most of the people I knew to be addicts were still in full denial. I think a lot of people are waking up now, which is just great.

In case it needs to be said, while I dislike WoW for non-addiction-related reasons, that's my own opinion - it's a fun game for a lot of people, and if you enjoy it, you should play it ^^ My concerns are purely addiction-related, I don't want to give the impression of driving others off from playing the game.

Oh, and the article I wrote on MMO addiction was published in issue 3 of Full Spectrum Magazine, not issue 2, for those who may be interested.

 

I've been playing it for a while, and I do enjoy it to some extent. My brothers play it too, which can make for some fun. My youngest one raided before LK and was doing Sunwell etc. but reckons he isn't addicted *lol*. I'm more of a solo/small group player, so I just do my own thing.

I have been playing it a lot since the release of LK (77 Tauren Druid ), but I'm sure that it will start to slow down now - I am buying some clay stuff so I can try some clay modeling, so that should pull me away haha.

I quit shortly after the first expansion. After playing since release, the Burning Crusade just killed it for me. =x
