Earthbound for the SNES

I still play that game because of it's awesome storyline (imo) and gameplay. When I first played that game I was just getting into RPG type games (I was a late bloomer I admit). I used to need the players handbook to beat the game due to some of the things I thought I would need for the ending of the game (mostly Poo's King armor/weapon). Now I can fly through the game and get lvl 99 as I'm trying to get Poo's sword (sometimes i get lucky, sometimes I don't).

Final Fantasy III was a pain for me... as well as Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal.

Both were mediocre games to me. I expected a little bit more from FFIII.

The gameplay from Tao was certainly interesting, but didn't have much of a hook to keep me interested into the game right away. It needed a bit more personally.

Never playing the other MMO's before (due to my restriction to online games as a younger person), my first MMO was unfortunetly Final Fantasy XI Online.

I was then introduced to WoW. What attracted me on this was something familiar. The Warcraft Universe was already in my mind at this time (having played the original Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and its Xpac).

The storyline is what captivated me, and I'm still playing to this day. WoW is an easy game to play no matter how you look at it, and people who say you need skill to play is full of it imo.

Having not played EQ or any other MMO pre-WoW (save for FFXI), I can't really form an opinion on those games. But WoW is popular, as someone stated, because of the fan base they created before this whole MMO we call WoW started.

That is what brought me to that game. The game WILL end up stopping because with the title annoucement of the new Xpac (Wrath of the Lich King), the game, as far as I see it will stop. The story will end with Arthas being downed (despite what the Time Gnomes say haha).

That's just my thought, i didn't read all the thread so I'm not sure if someone mentioned all this before. I'm currently at work and just a tad bored but not so bored that I would read all the posts.
