Comparing MMO's

My son recently got a very nice gaming laptop for his graduation. He is very into MMO's yet our computer was horrible and couldn't play them well. I want to get him one now and i know he is debating bewteen Neverwinter Nights and WoW.

Aside from the montly fees(which i do not mind paying), which one gameplay wise and content wise is overall better and more fun

Any opinions wanted

Yeah, Neverwinter Nights isn't an MMO, so out of the two, WoW wins by default.

I have to ask, though, why your son isn't decicing for himself? If he is at graduation age he can surely make his own decision? Is it meant to be a surprise or something?

Id' recommend WOW:

1: it's a bit less athmosperic than neverwinter nights, (in that scary way) but far "bigger" in terms of world and back story.

2: there's so much more to "do" in wow: auction houses (my favorite mini-game in wow), exploring the worlds, the backstory, different races to play equals different takes on the same world, socializing, excelling in professions, etc.

WoW WoW WoW WoW!!

Why is WoW always the talk of the town..? ^^

WoW is a damn good mmo, it can be addictive - you just have to be careful how you play it.

Pretty much covered my wow habit in my blog, if you want a primary exmmple of the worst habits, and better habits you can develop with the game.

Oh and NWN2 is a fun RPG, not an mmo, though the editor is damn flexible and fun to use.

There is only 1 MMO which is focused, from start until the end, on GROUPING.

This is City of Heroes/Villains.

As a grouper, it would be my only recommendation in the MMO wasteland, where every other game will try to make you PvP, RvR or Raid. You care about GROUPING? There is just no other options.

PS: You can solo all the way until the ultimate end also, they have a casual approach which is fine. Solo is viable (even if slower), can't really **** about it, even if I would rather have a strong focus on GROUP, I can live with that casual approach where someone can solo and master everything. :)

WoW is the king. It's like the Coca Cola of MMOs, as far as dominance goes (and Pepsi hasn't been invented yet).
