| Not sure if there's already a WoW thread here, but I'm a bit new, and couldn't see one (I have to admit I didn't look very hard) - but anyway - anyone play WoW? |

I played it and lost interest when I got my first character up to lvl 70 (max lvl).
I suppose I'll try playing again when "Wrath of the Lich King" comes out and then stop after that.
There are other games I'd rather play than trying the same quests over and over.

Yea I know people who have done that, but it turns out that private servers people cheat or rig the game.
Atleast on the public servers you know your character is safe and able to be viewed by all on WoWarmory. |

| Don't play this game, its only purpose is to keep you playing as long as possible. It's not like other video games. |

Agreed, I prefer a game with a plot and deep story and a resolution. WOW dosen't have either.
I have lost some friends because they have gotten sucked into the game.

I've been there. I play myself, casually, but a few friends became obsessed and stopped speaking to me, since I interrupted their WoW time. |

Yes, other video games encourage you to be sociable and engage in outdoor activities.  What a pointless statement.
Everything is good in moderation. The obsession is the problem, not the game. It's funny to hear aspies complain about losing friends to their obsessions. Sounds like hypocrisy to me.
I've been on WoW since November, 2004 and have no intention of closing my accounts any time soon. I've met a lot of cool people I never would have known had it not been for the game. My wife and I play together - I believe it's helped shape our level of cooperation and communication. My brother plays too and we talk more now than we have in 25 years. We get to play together even though we're thousands of miles apart. I also keep up with my old Army buddies on WoW. For my itinerant lifestyle it has been a great social networking tool - far more fun and interactive than myspace or a blog.
I have 4 70s (troll rogue, undead shadow priest, tauren shaman, and draenei shaman, all on Deadwood, I mean Duskwood US) and am working on #5 a BE shockadin. When I don't feel like playing I don't. I purposely refuse to commit to a raiding guild because I know the obsessive draw of the big kill, been there, done that.
The game is what you make it.
For those who actually play, I've really been enjoying the enhancement Shaman - so much so that after I made the one on the Ally side I had to make another on the Horde side where my main toons reside. There was a really good writeup on elitistjerks.com on how to set up and play the spec, and the damage output is remarkable. I think once he's properly geared he might be able to give my rogue a run for his money.

I played for 11 months between April 8, 2005 - March 9, 2006. I played on the server of Spinebreaker and had only 2 chars in that time, my highest was a 60 Orc Warrior (2 handed axe specialist), but my main char topped out at a mere 57, but that Undead Rogue (ambush specialist) gave me endless hours of enjoyment. In fact the name of my avatar on WP, Draax, is the very same name of my rogue on WoW. In those 11 months that I played I racked up about 2600 hours of play (6-9 hours a day X every day) and finally gave it up to persue other things like, a life. But dont get me wrong, I loved the game and gave it up because I seriously was addicted to it (I still have cravings to play on occasion).
Now that the general info is out of the way, I can say this: anyone that doesnt play on a PVP server is a pansy. The game is not about quests, its about killing people. Lots of people. I was Draax, one of the most infamous, corpse camping, ganking, son of a bitch Horde to ever play on Spinebreaker (and I know this because during my last week on the game, I deleted my horde chars and made an alliance char to see the other side, and everyone I talked to knew the name Draax and HATED him); I helped put the 'Gank' in 'Ganklethorn Vale'. That char only made it up to level 57 because I spent so very little time getting experience, prefering to stalk my way through contested territory ganking my way through the Alliance ranks. In the 7 months that I played Draax I never set foot in a battleground but racked up 10,000 HKs, all of which were gotten in the world at large. When I was bored, I would infiltrate Ironforge and gank people as they zoned in from battlegrounds, right in the middle of the city were they thought they were safe. HA!
I set up my own guild, 'Helepolis' (for those of you not familiar with ancient greece, the helepolis was a giant seige tower whose name translates into 'Destroyer of Cities'). We were a raiding guild, not an instance raiding guild, a town raiding guild. We once shut down all Alliance air travel in the Eastern Kingdoms by killing all the flight masters on the continent simultaniously in a massively coordinated strike; granted we could only keep them dead for 30 minutes but HO were the Alliance pissed after that. I remember organizing a massive all-Undead waterborne assault on Menethil Harbor where we swam up onto the dock, swept through the town, killing everything in the town with a name tag, and jumping back into the ocean; then doing it again 15 minutes later when all the Alliance high levels showed up. Yes, good times.
Sure, quests are fun, but the real joy to be had in the game is in the PVP.
This post was written assuming the reader plays/has played World of Warcraft and uses some terms that may be incomprehensible to non-players, sorry.
