Yeah I was looking for that, thanks.

And to the person three posts up I hope your joking.

It is pure evil condensed onto a Digital Versatile Disc. It will eat your soul, tape up your glasses, get you braces and leave you fat, repulsive and reeking of body odor. You will lose your friends, but gain several new ones; people such as "Gredlorn The Elven Blacksmith", and "Sitheron The Princess Warrior". With the latter you will form a romantic bond, only to a few months later find out, that she too is an overweight repulsively stinky teenager, and a guy.

Have fun with it!

WoW= end of your life... I know you say, "I'll only play a couple hours a day, tops!"

But you won't

I don't care if you are 11 years old, within a week you will have a beard, a twitch somewhere on your face, and caffeine riddled organs.

Plus WoW costs money, try Silkroad online first.  It's free, easy, and gives you a good idea if the MMORPG is really your thing.

I highly recommend it as a kind of "trial" version of WoW style games.

Tried it, got bored after a month, if I try WoW will I get bored in a month too? Remember I'm not much of a RPG kinda person, I just want something fun and new that's different from other RPG's etc.

Just a question, to ALL the people saying I will become a Zombie with no sleep etc.

Have YOU actually played WoW for long enough to say those things?

Yes I have. I had 3 high level characters. I will never play it again. It eats your brains.

Infact I swear behind the music and shit there is a frequency that hypnotis's you.

Simon, dont do it.  Ive played mmorpgs... this is why i have specifically stayed away from WoW, even after years of my friends tryin to get me to play. 

Seriously, as a friend, dont try it.  Youll save yourself alot of problems down the road if you just stay away from it and /point laugh at all those people addicted to it.  I have alot more to say about it but ill leave it at that. 

you want another game to play? try basketball ;p

WOW is fucking gay. End of discussion.

LMAO.  I look thru the responses and can't help but laugh.  I'm a WoW player.  It's a fun game.  It IS involving, and after a certain point in the game, it requires quite a bit of commitment, or a really lenient guild.  I have a few 60 lvl characters.  I played them to 60 while playing bf2.  It's possible to play these games, be a guild officer, not become addicted, work full time, raise 2 kids, 2 dogs, maintain a relationship*, go to school part time, moderate a forum or 3, and still have time to work out twice a week.

All in all, I say give it a try.  Get a trial and go for it.  If you like it, stick with it. If you don't, you don't.  Above all else, remember to have control over your gaming habits, not vice versa.

*She plays WoW full time so it helps a bit.  We kill ally together in war parties. "For the Horde!"

Well, looks like survey says: WoW is officially gay.

I won't be getting that then.

Wise.

I used to play it, in all honesty I didn't find it too addictive I just got bored of it eventually. I might go back to it at some point though, while the BF2 community is alright the WoW one is much larger and for the most part more mature and the game used to be very enjoyable. I'll give that free trial a whirl at some point to see if I would still enjoy the gameplay.

EDIT: ugh, I type garbage while I'm tired...

If you actually can moderate your gameplay, I would say yes. People obviously enjoy the game. I know a few people at my school who would be the last people I would expect to be playing this game and still lead a very normal sane life while they just play this game on the side. The question isn't whether you should really try it, it's about how seriously you take games.

As a game WoW is very good. But as mentioned by pretty much everyone in this thread it can be addictive and have some side effects. It was easy for me because I get bored quickly so I never really go that hooked.

"Should i play WoW"










No.
