For whatever reason I have never got around to playing WoW. I enjoy MMO's and have played some of the free ones and had a good time. I was wondering is it worth starting WoW now? Is it still fun and engaging for a new player?

Well aware, thanks. Just wondering what everyone's opinion was on the community for new players.

Been playing MMO's since UO. This is the cream of the crop. Get into it now, before the landscape changes with the next expansion.

WoW is fun. I don't know why people are talking about addiction and stuff. If you can't stop playing WoW, then you have a problem.

Yeah I never had an addiction problem with any other MMO. I think if a video game is the most interesting thing in your life then you need to change some things :?

They do have a 2-week free trial to find out if you like the game. I've wanted to play but I'm too cheap for subscription fees so I play Guild Wars.

I'd say get now. WoW is a great game especially once you start doing dungeons and raids.

That hard huh. You said "but there's people like that too". And I replied saying yes there are people that act that way when they can't have things they want.

Never heard of people freaking out like this because they couldn't afford the effort to get things they wanted tbh :O

I was talking about people that freaked out because they sucked at doing something while blaming other people for their own mistakes, what a lot of people hate about WoW. I'd give you a handful of clips but sadly they are in my original language.

I'm talking about in general. You said there's people like that, I said yes, in general. Things like that can happen no matter what they're "freaking out" about. People freak out over anything, it's not just in the nature of people who play this specific game. That's the way you seem to be putting it.

Ah, yes well kind of.

Thing is, in WoW they always try to find a reason to blame you no matter what ("FRIGGIN HEAL ME!" "You overaggroed!" "FRIGGIN HEAL ME!" "Stop running around, the tank can't regain aggro!" "FRIGGIN HEAL ME U NOOB!" "Stop doing AoE you moron!" *dies* "WHY DIDN'T YOU HEAL ME NOOB?", I won't even get started with PvP scenes because it would take a week to list all the bull**** I've heard while PvPing), the other online experiences I had are limited to previous Blizzard's games and Unreal Tournaments, and in these games if someone starts screaming at you, you can simply answer "You suck" and they can't come up with an excuse as it's practically impossible to find one.

Im still on my first toon or whatever you want to call it so I am pretty new and I have to say the community is friendly, the game is easy to get into, the graphics are great especially after playing free mmos.

Yes, it's a good game, one of the best MMORPGs available.

You realize asking this question is like asking if PS3 is the best console in the system wars forum, right? You will not get any sort of clear answer. People will tell you it's great, others will say it's horrible. I play WoW, it's starting to lose it's shine, but I've played since release. If you like MMO's, I can't imagine you not finding something to enjoy about WoW.

Edit - Amazingly not really any haters in this thread... yet! lol.

I play Gamera, Tauren Druid on Dragonmaw (PvP). However, if you're starting out, I recommend a normal server, unless you really want world PvP. It can be fun, but frustrating.

Its probably not such a good idea, if you think you have low self control over games.
