Should I play WoW?

[Vicboy]

Everyone in School tried it...

I haven't...

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Go for it!
Who needs life anyways?

 

[Vicboy]

Go for it!
Who needs life anyways?

If you're trying to point out that people who plays it have no life, you are utterly wrong. (dunno where I got utterly :-|)

The smartest to the most sociables plays it in my school. Its not a death sentence.

 

[D a w n]

Everyone in School tried it...

I haven't...

if you want to sell your soul then start playing it

 

[Mechanical Man]

You have cheaper games.

 

[Vicboy]

I don't see any of my classmates soulless...

You have cheaper games.

I might actually get it for free (Don't ask me how, I don't care what you think)

So...

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I started it, liked it, and stopped as soon as i found out i was just doing the same over and over again.

WoW needs more stuff which you can do without having to do it.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I play WoW also, just joking with the no-life thing

Well, I can play with my classmates... If you've ever hanged out with a human being, you'd know that you can do alot of things

I play WoW also, just joking with the no-life thing

yeah, people, even the ones who plays, does that often :-\

 

[TheBlooddancer]

I did. Most of my class played it too.

It was just most the 'Kill-lvl-new gear-kill-lvl-instance-craft-so on'

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Well that's more complex than most games nowadays :/

 

[Razorbrain]

let me say it like this

there is no insurance that it will be "fun" and "exciting" becouse everyone has played or is playing it, and the balance is not the best for being an mmorpg

 

[arthas_king]

well i play wow but just for fun!i bought it a month ago and still playing it 1-3 times a week(only for 1-2 hours)well try it and if u find that u dont like it just hold it till u want to play it again

 

[Zombie]

No.

1, It's addictive, according to FASZ Crew reviews, it spoils the life of every 5th man who tries it.
2, It's really expensive on a long term use.
3, SC2 will come out soon.

 

[MeteORA]

WoW is fun if you are playing with nice people and guild which is my case. Try it, you won't lose much as people say, addiction depends on how you describe it. Some people are competetive and like to put in more time into it and that's not getting addicted. Players aren't all lifeless, only the addicts are lifeless.

 

[Super-Sheep]

WoW is fun if you are playing with nice people and guild

Leveling is very, very boring, without someone to level with. :/

 

[TheBlooddancer]

You could always try it for amonth or such.

 

[LordDz]

You kind of need a lvl 80 nowdays to be in the real thing. And that takes some time to level up.

 

[Coremarine]

I would suggest doing it... It's really fun if you play with people you know

 

[BlinkforFear]

just do it... i don't like wow but we all wanted to try it just like you do, most of us did and to tell you the truth most people thought it was fun for a bit but... lets just say you don't want to play it for more than an hour or two a week because if you play it too much you get really bored or just flat out addicted.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

If you don't care what we think than why are you asking for our thoughts on the matter of whether or not to play the game?

 

[Vicboy]

who said i didn't?

I'm just countering their opinions..

 

[skrab]

Everyone in School tried it...

I haven't...

no don't do it

 

[FrIkY]

In the beginning, it's fun, like any other game... but after a month of playing World of Warcraft, you become addicted and play that game for... not for fun, you play it because you must... when I played it, all my grades at school were bad and I (almost) had no friends... THANK GOD I got rid of that hell!! It's same as with cigarettes (even though I never tried)... you just smoke one because of you're curious, and then another one... another, another, another... and you become an addict... cigarettes kill people, World of Warcraft destroy people... World of Warcraft is one of the best role playing games that I've played... but real life is is even better one (but it's not a game)... so don't try playing it... my suggestion. There are million games better that you can play, but not addictive! When I used to play World of Warcraft, I used to wake up, early in morning... maybe four hours before my school starts, just so I could finish some Dungeon, and get my gear... during my play, if someone bothers me, I yell at them! My meaning of life was "I want to play wow, I want to play wow"... I used to play World of Warcraft, hm... about 8 hours a day...? Yeah, something like that... maybe even more. And it also cost a lot of money... I spent like... 750€ together...

Meaning of all this: Don't play WoW, don't even try.

EDIT:

You could always try it for amonth or such.

Don't...

2. EDIT: this can happen to you if you play WoW too much...

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

If you get addicted, you are just weak minded fool and nothing more. Your real life friends must also be shitty if they leave you alone just because you played WoW, that kind of friends are just morons in the first place.

Seriously, I have played WoW for over 3 years and I'm only playing it cause it's fun, not because I need to get my epic gear lol. Ofc it becomes boring sometimes and I don't play it for days, but that is how it won't loose it's touch.

 

[FrIkY]

Fine, whatever...

I have to acclaim X.e.r.e.X.
I have played WoW as it comes out. I played it for about a year and then stopped playing it. I didnt got addicted to WoW even its a really great game.
Two month ago i restartet playing WoW and im still not addicted at all.
If u like Mmorpgs there isnt a better game yet, but u shouldn´t forget that it costs money. Although u could play on a private WoW server. They didnt cost anything and have sometimes higher rates so you dont need to level that long.

 

[LiOneSS]

DO it.

The thing I really did not like about WoW is that I never felt involved with the story (not that it has much story). Let me spell this out for you. I started playing World of Warcraft. The character-making process looks great. The graphics are great. The environments are great. I walk up to the first quest-give, resplendent in his heavy armor. What could my sacred charge, as a player of this game, be? Am I to bring an end to the Shadow Lord, destroy the Legion, defeat the opposing faction (Alliance or Horde). I click on him and he says, "kill 7 bears for me and I'll give you some gloves." I quickly discovered that almost every quest (at least the lower-level ones) was like this. Kill however many so-and-so's, bring me however many of some bodily part of aforementioned so-and-so's. Also, I learned that only after taking all that excruciating time to get yourself to a high level, do the quests get even a little better. And still, you aren't doing anything that will change the history of Warcraft. The enemies all respawn. Other players do the exact same thing as you, over and over again. So...

Pros:
Good gameplay, nice with the ability to team up with people.
Good environments. If you explore a bit, you'll see just how cool the different places are. Often times I'd just say hell with the normal quests, hitch a ride on a Goblin zeppelin and travel around sightseeing.
Okay character development. There are some things about this that weren't the best. You have to buy spells in the nearest town to get them, but Blizzard still made it so that every character can be unique.

Cons:
Terrible storyline. Really, if you like continuity with storylines and you like feeling like your part of the story, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!
Lame quests. Most quests during the course of this game are seriously boring. The rewards aren't that good either.

All in all, if you like teamwork (I'm more of a soloist myself), and don't mind lame storyline and quests, this could probably work for you. Never mind the stuff about getting addicted to it. Sure, I've seen people I know get addicted to it, and eventually have their parents limit the amount of time they spend on it. But they get addicted to it because they find it fun and challenging. If you are someone who likes games where your character does help push the story forward, I repeat, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!

(Then again, my highest level character only ever got up to level 17.)

Its MMORPG.. How can millions of players fit into one story? ><

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

(Then again, my highest level character only ever got up to level 17.)

Level 17? You really think that they let you kill gods and have epic loot at that level? This game has many good story quests, but they are usually looong chain quests and obtained at higher levels.

 

[Super-Sheep]

I got lvl 20 in one day. D:

 

[CoBrA b]

You ever played Pirates of the Caribbean Online? It's not as good as WoW, and the pace is much slower, but at least, with each and every character, you feel like you're doing something that pushes the storyline forward. You're assembling the crew of the Black Pearl to go and try to defeat Davy Jones or whatever.

Level 17? You really think that they let you kill gods and have epic loot at that level? This game has many good story quests, but they are usually looong chain quests and obtained at higher levels.

No, I do not think they let you kill gods at that level. My point was that it takes way to long to get to really epic levels (unless you spend all day playing, which I would never have time for in my wildest dreams. I mean, it took me a month just to get to level 17). I've seen other people play with their Epic Characters, and it looks fun, but, frankly, I'm not gonna let myself endure stuff like hunting wolves for their meat for an eternity just so I can get myself some good quests.

This is only my opinion. WoW is like a rainbow. Everyone sees it differently. My advice for people who aren't sure if they should play WoW is to try it out, and see what they really think of it. If you don't like it (as I did), don't play it. If you do, go ahead and play it.

 

[HailFireer]

If I could I would play WoW.

I am not afraide of losing social life. I lost it long time ago when I discovered computer and internet

 

[Abe97]

I got to say something! x) since I played it since closed beta of wow.

If ur gonna play it make sure everything else comes first, wow is JUST a GAME.
If you start skipping food, talking/hanging with your friends in real life, if you start beign easily angry, if you see that if you r in a guild its more important to be a loyal member to their raid times and such before everything else in THE real life.

If you start using wow as an exuse to do other things.
If you think of wow in times where you should think of work/friends/skool etc

Make sure you can leave the game when ever, and be sure you can say ill play dfor 1,5h and then im gonna do other things and then without thinking of wow and how important it is for you to come to a raid or doing a "BIG" quest.

wow is time consuming and higly addictive. watch out and also hear me!
-It's an ANGRY world out there!

[ how did I leave wow? I was the most addictive person you can imagine, I'm like one of those crazy ones playing wow today ;P, well I exchanged the addict from wow to something else (im not gonna say what :$) ]

(skool is not a typ from me, i just find it eeasy writing it like that )
Hugs and kisses!

 

[Danvari]

I played WoW for 4 years now...It's been a great game but the addiction to this game made me have bad grades at school.If you go to school I don't think you should play this game.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I think it gets boring soon enough if you play on private servers only.

Still when you done private only, retail becomes utterly boring and slow. (I HAVE NO PATIENCE!!!!)

So choose one and you will probably stick to it =p

 

[Super-Sheep]

I think it gets boring soon enough if you play on private servers only.

Instant lvl 70(/80) with imba arenaz, not boring. But all good PVP realms got closed when Wotlk arrived.

 

[Megafyr]

If you think you can maintain control while playing it it's okay. But you gotta be aware that it's very addicting even though some people may deny it. If you start playing it you will find yourself spending more and more time leveling up your character and less time with other activities.

So once again. If you can maintain control I guess it's okay. I have played it, but I quit when the new game came out, I wanted to do other things lol. It's a very good game though, but at some points it lacks variation. xD

 

[BearMan]

I think I agree with Megafyr. I have also played it but only on private servers (shh). It was cool enough. However if your only argument for playing it is that your school has tried it, you shouldn't. I would do some research and watch some movies about the game before deciding to play it.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Just finish the start qs of a dk and hang out on a RP server, no need to level when u just can have fun and share a picnic with a lvl1... (That sounded Lame)

 

[~Void~]

No. Just no. There are better games out there for free, and if you're going to waste your time with an MMORPG, choose one of them.

 

[Squiggy]

Everyone in School tried it...

I haven't...

Don't

 

[Aschy]

If you decide to play wow I say start on some pre-bc private server, there are some nice ones out there that was similar to pre-bc. And then maybe play a BC server then just by a wow wotlk account. Cause leveling is homosexual and thats when you start devoting all your life to wow.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Reading this thread makes you even harder to decide between yes and no. :/

 

[bounty hunter2]

Hahaha like youre talking about a drug.

Seriously... don't.

 

[Vicboy]

Not really...

 

[xstrpl0xstrx]

no u shouldn't

 

[Gilles]

If you plan on playing on a private server, no. If you plan on actually paying for your game, I'd go ahead and try it. Of course you can get the demo first, and see if you like it.

It is an overly addictive game, be careful.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

If you haven't started playing it allready, the chance that you'll get addicted to it is fairly slim, as I see it. You might want to try a 10 day trial first, see if it's any fun at all. I think it's quite boring in level 1-79. When you get to max level, there's more fun. But not everybody likes the game.
