  • While I agree that the first 5 to 10 minutes of a game should grab you, Nightbringe1 made a valid point. MMOs should be about a community experience. I prefer to group with people to do quests/kill that monster for the loot that I will use for a …
  • I think this article is spot on. Let's be real, most of the people that even log onto forums or websites like this are not the majority of the players. I play WoW on a PC I bought in 2001, and it was pretty low end then. My son played WoW on a P…
  • Thanks for the article.  I wished more people would read it and follow the tips listed. I just transferred over to a friend's server and ran a heroic with his guild. After a horrible time in Heroic UK, I asked him what was wrong with the tank. The…
  • There will be another expansion. I wished I had a link to a story where they talk about their future plans for WoW. They will keep pumping out expansions every 18 months - 2 years until their subscriber base is below a million.
  • WoW won't really decline until after they've released their new MMO, but that won't be for many years. We don't even have a release date on SC2 or D3. I do think if they raise the level cap again with the expansion after WOTLK, they will have to…
  • 1) DDO - How can you scew up the grand father of all RPGs? Somehow Turbine did. 2) LOTRO - While it has it's advantages, how can you screw up the grand father of Fantasy? Turbine did. 3) Hellgate London- High Hype from the "Developers of Diablo"…
  • If you grew tired of WoW before WOTLK, you will stay tired after WOTLK. While Death Knights are a very great addition, I find myself wondering if I am playing LOTRO in some of the new areas based on the scenery. I feel that WoW seems to be tryi…
  • While this is slightly off topic, I'll post my question. I got a beta key, signed up on the warhammer site, downloaded the client, installed it and now I can't log in. I can't seem to find the beta help website. I am wondering if my beta isn'…
  • Great post Juvante.   I have gone from a "Will play" to a "Might buy if most of the Open Beta posts are positive" Honestly, they should have just pushed it back to May 2009, instead of releasing it in this state. However, I think the jury is…
  • Blizzard already knows how many Russians currently play WoW, and they must have estimated how many more subscribers they will get with a Russian language version. They must have thought that it would be worth the cost of translation.
  • I want the Klingons and Federation to be at war! If you are limited to just Klingons and Federation, the other points in time, don't make much sense.
  • At least they will let us play Klingons. I don't want to be forced to live by the Prime Directive.  
  • My server is starting to be a ghost town. Sure there are a few Raiding guilds running Sunwell, and  a few random Kara Badge PUGS, but I rarely see many people running around anywhere but Capital cities. If I bump into someone doing a Daily, I'm in…
  • WoW's two reasons why it is so successful are low required system specs and it's easy to start playing out of the box. Grandpa Joe and Little Johnny can play with their 8 year old PC. Both will be equally good at level 1. You don't even have talen…
    in War = WoW. Comment by Ruthgar July 2008
  • I don't think WoW's PVP zone will be as big a hit on all the servers like everyone is saying. On PvE servers where one side outnumbers the other by a huge margin, it will be pretty useless for the minority faction. Considering how important contol…
  • If you don't admit that you've been burned by the promise of Darkfall, you are fooling yourself. I want Darkfall to be released and for it to live up to it's promises, but until I see it on the shelf at the store, I'll just ignore the hype. I'm ju…
  • Death, taxes and WoW being the number 1 MMO are all givens. I expect whenever Diablo 3 is released, that we'll see Blizzard have three titles in the top 5 PC sales charts (SC2,D3, WOTLK battlechest).   However, I think that WOTLK will be the s…
  • This is a long time coming. I can't wait. Diablo is my favorite of Blizzard's games. I had hoped they would have announced it last year and I was disappointed when they announced SC2 instead.  
  • I would love a Diablo MMO, only if it allowed people from an entire region to do dungeon runs... Imagine being able to pull from players from Europe or Asia or America (like Diablo), not just one little server. The server could be persistant, but …
  • Most of the people I know that play WoW are over 30. The oldest person I've raided with was in his 60s. However, my son plays WoW, and all his friends do too. I've heard kids working at the grocery store talking about WoW last month. You can't …
