Is it too late to get into Wow?

I played trial version of Wow years ago and I somewhat enjoyed it, but I was also playing DAoC at the time and my wife didn't want me to pay for WoW. Would anyone who has been playing it for a long time recommend my getting into it this late in the game? Has is gotten better? Thanks.

Not really. The system caters more towards casual players now so there shouldn't be a problem getting into it. There's another expansion on the way, so it's not like it's going to die anytime soon.

You're going to be overloaded with content, but the game does a good job at easing you into everything.

Wait untill the expansion. They will remake the old world then. It will be alot more active and you will most likely find new alts to level with.

It's never late to start with wow.

It's never too late to dig a big pit in your back garden and start shoveling vast sums of cash into it, spending unhealthy amounts of time doing menial repetative chores and pretending that you're having fun.

Don't do it! Resist temptation! :D

As many before me have said, it is never too late to join in the fun. The game has a casual feel to it now (something I am thankful for, with a busier life than I had a few years ago), and is still very, VERY fun.

Well, I hope it isn't too late to join WoW because I just created my character like 4 days ago! xD

I wouldn't go now though. Wait for a new MMO at release. I woudl suggest Star Wars the Old Republic.waffle6

i'm not in complete disareement with this , but i do know that most mmo's start out a bit rough with lotsa bugs and unfinished content , a few months after an mmo is released however is a great time to join.

never to late , and there is some new realms coming up , so i would suggest join new realm , you would fit just right in :) its got more casual and doesnt require so much time to actualy be good at game , still its the best and most enjoyable mmo in the market atm imo !Farkeman

where do you find a list of new realms?

ive been thinking of taking a "break" from my WoW-break (its been about 8 months since ive played) and want to start over, so to speak.

New servers are always nice, especially if they dont allow transfers. I joined one of those in March 09, it was a lot of fun having everyone at level 1 again!

true BUT a good reason to start wow in the next expansion is company, i absolutely love the fact that were coming back to azeroth , means the world gets a bit smaller now, it was too large before and places like azeroth and outlands are quite empty at the moment.

In the new expansion they are also introducing two new races so that means a leveling blitz, there will be many trying out the new classes which means lotsa leveling buddies for our dear friend here.Either way i'm gonna enjoy riding past people leveling and seeing much of the old world again, i'm tired of the cold and just seeing nuthing but level 80's in dal.

I'd agree with you here because I think The Old Republic will be a great game, but I'm not sure if the OP wants to wait an entire year to play a decent MMO. He has enough time to thoroughly enjoy WoW before any good MMOs come out. Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy 14, and The Old Republic all have potential from what I've seen, but they're a ways off.

Its never too late. Ive been playing for years and its still great...its not PERFECT, but the best MMO ever created.

Play the trial.

If you've played it before no, you can always go back. But if you're new to the game you're better off finding another game...

Um...in case it hasn't been said already, you get mounts at level 20 now. Just sayin'.

my wife didn't want me to pay for WoW .

my wife didn't want me to pay for WoW .

If I like Warcraft III and RPGs, will I like WoW? I've never played a proper MMORPG before, but I'm willing to give WoW a go since I love Warcraft's universe...

Thanks guys for the replies. I will probably give it another try if I can convince my wife hehee...welroon

It is not too late, but do you have lots (LOTS) of free time on your hands? If not, I would have to suggest that you pass. The biggest time sucker I have ever played.

Its definetly geared towards both Hardcore and casuals...which is what makes WoW, what WoW is. All other MMO's are geared towards hardcores regardless...they have made getting epics easier, but its still HARD as hell to get the best stuff in the game (ICC10/25).

its fun man, I just had to quit recently because it ate too much of my time, plus I was a guild leader and I HATE the responsibility.

I don't know what you guys are talking about... The game is a ghost town if you aren't level 80... I just recently started playing (in Jan'10) and there is almost never anyone to play with... From level 1-20ish, there were a few, but after 20... All the way to where I am now, 74... Other players are few and far between... From 20-60ish the dungeon finder worked pretty fast and I would only wait for about 2-8 minutes to get in a dungeon... Now, at 74, I sit around for 30 minutes most of the time, sometimes as much as 45 minutes... JUST TO GET IN... And its not like I am on a new player realm or a low pop realm... I am on a high pop realm (sometimes it is even full), which is grouped with other high pop realms... I can't even imagine what this would be like on the new realms and low/med realms if it takes this long on high...

Like I said though, plenty of stuff to do if you are 80, plenty of guilds and plenty of other people... But if you are not 80, you are alone...

Plus no one is helpful... I am level 74 and I still know almost nothing about the game... I don't even know what the hell a raid is... Most of the guilds are either terrible and filled with other people who don't know anything (and thus can't help you)... Or are so good that they can't be bothered by your trivial questions...

If you get into the game, I suggest getting into it with someone you know who is already into the game and can help you along (answer questions/get you in a guild etc...) Otherwise it will be a long lonely road to 80...
