Did anyone get bored of WoW fast like me?

I was bored as hell until the 30s when you could actually go outside of your current region and actually explore with some chance of survivability, rather than just grinding on quests that take you to the neighbouring province.

Although I also played it casually, I'd assume the boredom factor would have settled in even quicker if I spent 8hr sessions on it from time to time like I do my other MMO.

It really helps a lot to just explore and collect waypoints for the Griffin Masters, and use those as your primary means of transportation.

Final Fantasy XI, as to which I've sunk over 7300 hours into it over the period of 3 years 2 months.

(and I'd have a damn hard time trying to recommend it to anyone, I've played it to the point where all I see are the problems with the game)

You shouldn't really worry about getting to max level as fast as possible. Leveling up is the favourite part of the game for me. I stopped playing when I hitted level 60. Raids are not for everyone. I stopped playing after six months which isn't a long time for MMO. I played LOTRO for eight months. If you don't enjoy it, no reason to play. Maybe you should check out LOTRO, low levels are more fun with more interesting story. All quests are actually part of a bigger story.RK-Mara

He could be onto something...I actually played wow nonstop for about a year and raided up to SSC and TK for those who know what those stand for. However I picked up LOTRO and got bored in 2 days, never touching the thing again. It might be right up your alley.

Topic title: Yep.

It's kinda funny, I'd expect me, of all people, to be able to resist this, but strangely enough, everytime I read some in depth story about a WoW session, I get this picture in my head. And I go "oooooh, WoW is actually still cool, I wanna play it again! Gleeeee!".
Now I've given in to that "desire" a few times, and trust me, whatever you think WoW is like: It's not.

Okay, WoW CAN be fun, it can. But the fun never comes from the game itself, it comes from the people you play with, and seriously, the most fun I ever had with WoW was when me and my best mated went to each houses a few times, to play WoW and drink beer.
Just those few evenings with the 2 of us and the beer was way more fun then those other countless hours I've spent on WoW.
What I'm trying to say is:
A) If you're taking time to socialize in WoW, you'd be spending it better socialing in real **ing life.
B) the game itself sucks monkey nuts, and you know it.

Truthfully, I've been having "ze temptations" again for a few weeks now, I even went so far as to inserting the disks, in an attempt to install it, so that, if I really wanted to play, I could fire it up immediatly. My harddisk space is what stopped me though, as I recall, the WoW folder gets huge with the expansion and patches, and it turned out I only had 11GB left and I wanted to have to free space for dling left. :P
I really need to uninstall some games and delete some images. :)

It happened to me too. I got it, it was fun, I leveled somewhere around lvl20 and it got boring.

Then two years later I tried it again and it hooked faster than coke.

Lol m8 :D I was a beta tester long ago and i drop it few weeks before AQ patch.

So i quit it for good.Had great time,but game after a while seemed so repetitive.Kill that,loot youre set.Before you make it to gather all your pieces new patch with new dungeon/set.

It bored me to a stage where the montly fees were just not worth it anymore. I would play it every now and then if i did not have to pay for it.

This is not a whine against game fees, just where i was at with it.

what are you a wow-controlled robotBLaZe462

No, I have just had an immensely enjoyable experience of the game, I can't find many faults with it, so I recommend it when the subject comes up.
