Me. Played WoW for like 4 years. Was in line for mid night releasefor burning crusade and wrath of the lich king. Ah, I miss those days. Was so excited to get home and install and play. I'm passing on Cata though.

Just don't have the time for WoW anymore. Graduated college and now have a full time job. I don't have the time to spend 3+ hours rading. : / Was gonna just stick to PVP this go around, but I am just going to pass completely. Too many other fun games I am playing. I spend a lot of time gaming, but wanna play when I want to. Not when the guild leader does.

I feel sad though. I should be getting ready to get in line with all the other nerds. Oh, well. All good things come to an end. So who else got BC and WOTLK, but passing on Cata?

I'm same boat as you.... TIME is the issue now. I just can't find the time for an MMO. BUT: I just picked up Cata today cause I am really interested in becoming a werewolf.... thing is, I'm just gonna play at my pace, when I get free time.... no hardcore raiding or 4 hour long dungeons... just mostly solo play enjoying the new Azeroth....

Ha ha now way dude. Midnight launches are way fun. Get to meet people with the same hobby as you and talk WoW. Its good times. Back then I was so into WoW I could not wait another day for a expansion.

My one friend said the same as you. She said she wants to level a worgen. Eh, been there done that leveling. I don't feel like going thru that ordeal again.

Me too, I only have one character (lvl 72 Undead Warlock), and I never had the urge or time to start a new character... But, to me this is like playing a new game (with the new Azeroth) and at the same time journey back through the old land with great memories. With the midnight launch, I guess it comes down to how good they make it..... here in Aus some midnight launches is just EB opening up late, you arrive, pick it up and go home...nothing else or different from the next day. I've seen videos though of some midnight launch parties where there's even people dressed up as the Lich King etc for photos....I guess they COULD be fun but it's way too NERDGASTIC for me....

Me. feel as if the game went downhill. Became very boring and i realized that spending up to 3 hours or so a day was all for nothing. Who cares, what does it mean? Oh cool, i got better gear to do... slightly better in raiding. Fun.... also i saw taht once i quit the game my acne problems ( which wasnt really bad at all) went away. Since last year, i've gotten maybe 7 breakouts. WOW CAUSES ACNE!!!! ( not true, just something i noticed )

yeah man, as far as I am concerned, raiding is the only "bad" thing about WoW...just takes so much time. They have made it so organized, casual guilds an do raids as they wish throughout the week, an hour or two at a time...the problem is no one takes advantage of this. Seems like everyone wants to do a full clear in a night or two lol.

Outside of that, WoW is the perfect MMO for people who dont want to spend too much time. Its fun, easy, and you can get a lot of fun out of it in 30 minutes or 3 hours.

*I will be on the server Cairne, btw, if you feel like looking me up lol

But Cata might be better than WOTK, they seemed to have really invested time and player advice on this expansion...

It doesn't matter I sold my account when I quit and I would never regrind to 85. Game looks like more of the same casualized content/welfare epics system.

I would understand if you are still going to school.. You do work full-time, I see that. So do you think that ALL people who play WOW don't have jobs? Sorry, no offense or anything. Maybe time is not the issue here. Maybe, just maybe, you prefer to do other things and invest time into other hobbies or activities. Or, you could be a business man, i would understand that. Perhaps, you started a family. The wife usually doesn't like it when you're at the computer all day, especially not for a video game.

As for me, I passed on BC and WotLK. And I'll have to pass on Cata as well. Nothing like the vanilla WOW days.

My excuse is that I just got burnt out and bored of the same thing over and over. I just prefer being able to play every other game out there besides an MMO. But during that one-year stint with vanilla WOW, I had a really great time. Very memorable video gaming that I probably won't ever forget. It does come to an end, eventually.

WoW lost its hold of my after vanilla. BC and WOTLK didn't keep my interest long. Now it seems Cata is bringing back the hardcore play, which is more fun, but takes MUCH more time to play. In graduate school and don't have enough free time to really play an MMO honestly.

Well that's what we mean.... less time.

We choose or have to use our time for other things, like hobbies, activities, wife, kids, job etc.... Time IS the issue here (for me anyway).

I would love to spend all day gaming, but I have other things to do as well...

Ya i started thinking about that after my post. Its true for all games... But i dont know... WoW can become a little crazy to some people. But its just a me thing i guess. I enjoy shooting players and weapons. ( makes me sound like a killer ) I just dont like how WoW was constantly the same quests. Kill blah things, go find this, report to that, scout there. I know its an MMO but the diversity in missions wasn't enough. And the community aint the greatest sometimes. The constant " your gear sucks you noob, come raid when you have blah blah gear score" was too much. Sorry i cant soak in so many hours and days to get the gear. This game was just way to time consuming. Unlike other games where you can hop in, play for a couple mins if you'd like then hop out. Plus the graphics feel outdated ( im a gfx whore, so shoot me i like my games to look pretty) and the combat didnt feel very interactive.

But isn't an FPS shoot the enemy, reload, shoot the enemy, reload...? Isn't a racing game, start, race, finish first, start, race, finish first....? All games have repetitive things... but you are correct about WoW getting crazy on people. If you play WoW for like 3 hours a day you are obsessed, but if you play Black Ops 3 hours daily it's normal...? As for comments of NOOB, don't listen to them....they are probably 14 year old kids with no brain.....

If I play WoW 3 hours a day for 6 years... I have no life! :P I played WoW when it was first released, got bored reasonably quickly, tried it again with the next 2 expansions, got just as bored just as quick. I'd rather play a heap of games than just 1. I have ZERO interest in the new WOW expansion.

Well, 3 hours a day for 6 years....yes, it's stretching it, you have NO LIFE !!!!

I understand what you mean by "playing heaps of games instead of 1", sort of happened to me back with Vanilla WoW and BC.... so this time around, I am going to control my gametime between WoW and other games....best of both worlds....

Also, I see you got bored quickly of WOW, even on expansions....so maybe MMO isn't ur kind of game....

Indeed, for me WOW just feels like a glorafied IRC client. I prefer single player RPGs with an actual story. :P

Probably off for the best - I get easily obsessed with things and WoW is one of those things that's addictive and that'll kill a crap load of time. I knew that and took my being disconnected as a sign. lol

I understand completely.... thing is most people don't even read the quests in WoW, and some of them have a really good story behind them....

haven't played it in 2 years.

watched a view cata. videos and remembered all the annoying things that made me quit so I don't want to come back.

it's very hard to play it "casually", maybe if you're only content to play 1 character only. I had 4 characters so I can't just play for 1 or 2 hours. There's pvping, daily quests, rep. grinding, raiding, farming consumables, crafting etc.and you've got to do that with every character if you want to be at least reasonably geared at max level.

plus i'd have to make a worgen or a goblin so i'd have another character then to gear up.

Me. Played WoW for like 4 years. Was in line for mid night releasefor burning crusade and wrath of the lich king. Ah, I miss those days. Was so excited to get home and install and play. I'm passing on Cata though.

Just don't have the time for WoW anymore. Graduated college and now have a full time job. I don't have the time to spend 3+ hours rading. : / Was gonna just stick to PVP this go around, but I am just going to pass completely. Too many other fun games I am playing. I spend a lot of time gaming, but wanna play when I want to. Not when the guild leader does.

I feel sad though. I should be getting ready to get in line with all the other nerds. Oh, well. All good things come to an end. So who else got BC and WOTLK, but passing on Cata.

I'm same boat as you.... TIME is the issue now. I just can't find the time for an MMO. BUT: I just picked up Cata today cause I am really interested in becoming a werewolf.... thing is, I'm just gonna play at my pace, when I get free time.... no hardcore raiding or 4 hour long dungeons... just mostly solo play enjoying the new Azeroth....

I'm basically in the same place as both of you. I've been out of university for a few years now but my GF was still in school last year. I was raiding 4-5 nights a week during WOTLK but just can't do it anymore. Between working full time, spending time with my GF/Friends, + going to school for some extra education 2 nights a week there is no time for raiding. That being said I have considered buying the x-pac to level up a little goblin but am in no hurry to do so.

So who else got BC and WOTLK, but passing on Cata?Jermone123
I would be one of those people. I quit playing WoW back in July though after playing for 5 years. Part of the reason was because I thought Cata looked awful but of course also combined with that there were a couple other reasons. One of which was boredom with the game but that would be expected after playing for 5 years

I got till WoTLK and then retired and that was when I was still in school. I know that if I enter this game again I won't stop playing because, for some reason I always get addicted to MMORPGS. Worst is that I'm in the university, the hardest in my country. If I passed a bad time even without an addiction I can't imagine if I have one. No, better stay away from this and continue with my normal gaming life.

Aye. There's something about modern MMO's that I'm sick of, probably because too many of them have been influenced by WoW and other sources so it feels like I'm playing the same damn game over and over. Though, if I do put time into one in the near future it'll either Rift or GW2, not WoW again.

On another topic about 60% of my class was away sick to day, I wonder why?

Me! I started playing WoW back when it was only about 2 weeks into the initial launch and played for about 5 years total. Quit about midway through WoLK and since its been almost a year now, I dont think I'm ever going back.

Overall its still a good game, but its fallen so far from where it started. Maybe I should thank blizz for the changes that made me quit, because its such an unbelievable time sink and its very addicting. I think my main character had 400 days of play time, plus I had alts. I had fun with the game, but wont be going back to any MMOs ever again.

Yeah me too. I started during BC, then went to the midnight release of WOTLK but I quit a year and a half ago. I did try the free pre-cataclysm trial to see if my old characters still existed and they did, played a bit for a few days and it was fun but I don't have the time anymore and I just know I shouldn't start again. Like an angel and devil pulling on me though.

Cata looks amazing but I can't play now that I'm married and work full time. I'm not going to spend the time I have away from work glued to a computer screen.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="Papadrach"]

Me. feel as if the game went downhill. Became very boring and i realized that spending up to 3 hours or so a day was all for nothing. Who cares, what does it mean? Oh cool, i got better gear to do... slightly better in raiding. Fun.... also i saw taht once i quit the game my acne problems ( which wasnt really bad at all) went away. Since last year, i've gotten maybe 7 breakouts. WOW CAUSES ACNE!!!! ( not true, just something i noticed )

Papadrach

This game was just way to time consuming. Unlike other games where you can hop in, play for a couple mins if you'd like then hop out. Plus the graphics feel outdated ( im a gfx whore, so shoot me i like my games to look pretty) and the combat didnt feel very interactive.

This ^ Way too time consuming to get something done. Just like you said I dont have time anymore to raid 3-4 hours. I need something where I can hop in and out as I wish and still get my entertainment. That is why I can't wait for Diablo 3! I am also a gfx whore as well and as you said, the gfx in WoW are seriously outdated. I have 2x 5870's and I certainly did not get those to play WoW lol.

I was going to pick up a copy today, but instead I purchased Mass Effect 2, and also I visited Chuck E Cheese to play some arcade games and observe behavior.

Edit: Chilidragon, I am 1up, lol...

but you are correct about WoW getting crazy on people. If you play WoW for like 3 hours a day you are obsessed, but if you play Black Ops 3 hours daily it's normal...? As for comments of NOOB, don't listen to them....they are probably 14 year old kids with no brain.....

I am sure black ops can get addictive, but were talking about WoW here lol. THE most addictive game ever. I have to admit WoW was getting a little crazzy on me. I wasn't a full blown addict, but it got to the point where I was getting a little too caught up in the game. Was getting nerd rage all the time lol. Then I realized what was happening and I was like "umm yea I need to take a break from this game" :D

[QUOTE="CellAnimation"]If I play WoW 3 hours a day for 6 years... I have no life! :P I played WoW when it was first released, got bored reasonably quickly, tried it again with the next 2 expansions, got just as bored just as quick. I'd rather play a heap of games than just 1. I have ZERO interest in the new WOW expansion.FelipeInside

I understand what you mean by "playing heaps of games instead of 1", sort of happened to me back with Vanilla WoW and BC.... so this time around, I am going to control my gametime between WoW and other games....best of both worlds....

Oh, I so so so know what you talking about here. All I played was WoW. That was it. For 3 solid years I never really played any other games. Then I realized damnit I am missing out on other good games!!

I played WoW all throughout college, but it just wasn't an appropriate or very fun game to play anymore after that with increased duties and significantly less free time.

A lot of the quests in Cataclysm are actually very story-driven. This expansion especially relies on questing to drive the story forward, as Cataclysm is essentially a World of Warcraft-exclusive storyline for Blizzard, essentially not relying on lore in past Warcraft games as much as Vanilla/BC/WOTLK. That being said, there are of course those quests that just make you kill random monsters, because you need to be testing your classes' abilities now and again.

I played Vanilla up to WoTLK. Raided, Gladiator, Everything. But also quit numerous times and took many breaks, luckily my friends and guildies we're always there to support. I havent played WoW in 3 months, I don't think its a good time right now. As people mentioned, TIME is always the issue. Too busy with girlfriend, Military, School, and partying it out.

I only wish WoW made a re-debut in the future, when I'm like 35yrsold and settled, not is just not the time for a 23yrold to be geekin it up in WoW.
