You need to be OCD to play WOW.

The entire thing is like a giant chore. I have nfi how people become addicted to it, it's fucking shit.

Firstly, you're looking at WoW like you would any game which is a wrong approach as the addictive aspect comes into effect when you begin to grow emotionally attached (i know it sounds stupid) to your avatar and experience satisfaction from completing a task with a party of other players. Socialising is a big part of the gameplay which attracts alot of female gamers straight from the Sims franchise.

As a MMORPG, if you were to take the online compatability out of it - you would be looking at a horribly boring and pointless RPG which would fit into what you were saying about "giant chore".

Like this thread has pointed out already, MMORPGs are not a healthy thing to get heavily into. Its probaly killed more koreans than drugs and alcohol put together but when taken in moderation, the game can be a pleasant escape from RL...

There were 8 confirmed girls in my last guild [ about 12 or so claiming to be girls but with no vent proof or pics proof] 3 of them were pretty attractive[for wow standards, basically they looked like your average half decent girl you would see on a sat night] the rest were bushpigs.

I guess that can be a motivation for people who dont really get out much or are pretty lonely.

I found something intresting.
Been playing on this server for a couple of weeks now and I must say it's quite good.
The XP and drop rates are like 20x, but for the rest (quests/raids/instances) everything is blizzlike.

Best of all is, you can play WoW here for free!

Check it out and meet me in game (char: BigM (allied))

i played WoW for like 1 month before i quit. the game is boring. too much grinding and not that much action until u get to the higher levels and i just couldnt be stuffed.
DotA is a better game cuz u play when u feel like it, no long term commitments, and u dont have to pay money to play.
no i dea how people play WoW for years, its way too repetitious.

I have been playing wow for just over a year now and I find it a really good way to get out of this reality and play someone different. I am like the game but i preffere do play other FPS games like BF2142 and CS:S. Good idea if we started a BoS guild on a couple realms. *LOL*

World of Warcraft sucks.

On Wednesday I read a study about the relationship between those who play WoW, and intelligence. It's probably not a causative relationship, but the userbase of WoW is less intelligent than the average population.

Wow is another worthless addiction which gives you no real purpose in life except for wasting time in a virtual world :) Harsh truth for those who are still play.
