Read some reviews, watch gameplay and maybe play the free trial. Dragon Age and WoW share little in common.

Get Guild Wars instead. It's only $20 at the moment on Steam, won't cost you a monthly fee and won't steal your soul.

don't play MMO's.

they are also bad for humanity in general.

really. just don't.

get the orange box instead. you will get the best games ever really cheap and you can put in a lot more hours into tf2, a brilliant game, than WOW, a crappy game.

I played WoW since WotLK came out and raided all of the expansions content. Stopped playing once I killed 25M Lich King. I enjoyed the game a lot, but its quite the grind. I wouldn't pick it up until Cataclysm if I were you, this current expansion is almost over.

Onwards to the Guild Wars discussion. Its not really an MMO. In the cities you are with everyone on the server, however, once you leave the town you are only with the people in your party. I can't recall the total amount of people allowed in one party, but it isn't very significant.

Given that he's talking about Dragon Age I'd consider it a plus, as you can manage your own AI party in Guild Wars like you can with Dragon Age and the combat is basically a real-time variant of a similar system. I also don't think he realizes the soul-sucking horror of a full fledged MMORPG, and I'd hate to contribute to his downfall that way.

Did you play Vanilla WoW? Curious, I really am because Vanilla WoW was flat out awful compared to where it is at now. WoW has evolved so much over time that it's hard to call it the same game, I'll say that I had more fun with Vanilla (Because it was all new and fresh, and I had friends who I played with) but the mechanics of the game are so much better now. Sure there are things I miss from Vanilla (World PvP, the community was 100% better, no resilience, no arena, epic AV battles, epics were hard to obtain) and some things that WoW has now are pretty bad (Opposite of everything I posted before) but the game as a whole is so much better. Also been playing since December 2004 and have been there for nearly all major content patches/events and all expansions.

Nope, the deal includes all the expansions. You can just buy the original (Prophecies) for $10 if you want, but so much content is added with expansions (especially Heroes) that it would be silly not to buy all.

While WoW is not what it used to be (vanilla was way better, would pay $50 just to go back to the old days), you cannot deny that it is still a good game. You may have played it until it is fun no longer, but there's a reason people still play it.

$20 for Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North, though. Vanilla Guild Wars was that cheap a while back.

Imho: NO!

WoW isn't a bad game (played some months myself in vanilla) BUT it is a definitive time killer!

The amount of time you will put into that game to achieve at least some of the goals (equip your avatar, clear instances, get titles etc.) is enough to complete all the top games of at least the last 5 years.

I decided to do the latter, and I never looked back at WoW.

Play the trial and decide. Don't listen to the haters or people with zero self-control.

I love the game and play only 3 or 4 hours a week. Have a lvl 80 with decent gear. My wife also has a lvl 80. RyTEK and Esalora on Perenolde. I'm really looking forward to the next expansion - its going to be great to start at lvl 1 again and take my current toon to lvl 85.

The vanilly WoW argument is so cliché you haters...

Good Game, far too easy these days... most of the content is redundant.... even most of WOTLKs... and it will continue to be that way in the next expansion. And dont listen to the addicted fanboys saying "Get it, Catacalysm is going to be awesome".... because infact its not going to be any different to any other expansion, infact even shorter due to the 10-25 mans being locked together. If you like a MMO that rewards you for farting, solo playing and doing nothing but linking crap achievements and linking your gear that you get effortlessly grinding content 50 item levels below you, then choose WoW. if not, wait for something more challenging.

World of Warcraft is a decent game, but the people that play it... OMG THERE ARE SO MANY **** HOLES! I played on the Horde. The people that played the Horde were addicted to swearing, sex talk and insulting other players. Not all of them are. I met a few nice people. But the majority were as i described. I gave the Alliance a go. The people that play Alliance were more civilised, mature people. I would have been Alliance myself But i loved the Tauren race (on the Horde). I quit the game a while ago, but im going to come back some day soon.

WoW is not as great as it was in vanilla. They killed the community with cross-realm LFG, epics are easier to get than low level grays, PvP is not as hardcore without the honor system,and three words: 40-man raids. The game is so easy now that there's almost no point in trying to get decked out in gear because eventually everyone's going to get there... and then another patch will come out and the cycle continues.

Back in vanilla, it wasn't uncommon for some guilds to be struggling in MC while another was getting through AQ40. Nowadays, EVERYONE is raiding ICC. As soon as the Lich King patch hit, all other raids became obsolete and that's how this game is going to continue unless they make it more hardcore.

highest sub numbers do not make it the greatest MMO... "greatest mmo" is subjective and thus not quantifiable. case in point, i consider EVE online the greatest MMO and WOW the worst MMO.... but that is opinion.

People will tell you to stay away from this "life sucking game" or something along those lines trying to be funny. While they are entitiled to there opinion i got 4 good years of gaming off of this game before the 2nd expansion ruined it for me. I would recommend it to anyone just don't be silly with the amount of time you play it, it can be addicting.

If you have countless hours of free time, absolutely nothing productive to do with your life, or have great self-control, go for it. I say this being a WoW player of several years. To give you an idea of how much I've played, I have an 80 pally, 80 druid, 80 hunter, 73 warlock, and countless alts. Okay, maybe not "countless" but a lot of them. The limit is 50... and thus I must delete a toon in order to create a toon. There have been times I've needed to take breaks from the game for school, but off and on I've played for 4-5 years. That's a lot of money going towards a single game. o_O

This made me lol.

Its not that bad, but it can get terribly addicting, but just as many people spend way to much time on COD as WOW.

The only reason you can addicted is because of the amount of time it takes you to lvl to 80 and get all the gear, but once you get there it isn't so time consuming, and much more fun.
