subasteve: Costs for keeping up BattleNet games and an MMORPG are not the same. Lets say Warcraft 3: They have some bugs, they just make patches and keep some servers. For MMORPGs, they need huuuuuuuuuge servers with huuuuuuuuuuge speed. Also (as far as I know) MMORPGs are never finished. Developers keep adding worlds and missions and everything. They should have maybe some ads system to pay their online bills, but I think paying 15$ pero month for playing a game (even if it was Metal Gear 3) is ridiculous.

WoW is great, I really love this game, especially the PvP element. Besides that I have a lot of friends that play the game and I have more contact with them now online than I ever had before.

As for the prive, they deliver a lot more than Sony ever did. I played EQ and EQ2 and never saw any chance of them extending gametime because of server downtime.
With Blizzard there is far less downtime, and they actually give you extended playtime to make up for it, or at least they have so far.

I love WoW, only had it for a while but im playing on Warsong in my guild from SWG.. KDS... im only a low level hunter at the moment but im finding the leveling fairly easy!

Its a good solid game so far and from what ive heard it only gets better

WoW isn't the best, let's look at the downsides:

You have to wait 6 hours on Tuesdays to play, due to maintenance
They nerf hunters like whoa.
They put in the PVP Honor system in, PVP servers are laggy as heck now, causing massive pvp loss in areas such as Tarren Mill, and such.
The game play is not so good, You spend most of your time scavengering for money to get good gear, it's what YOU constantly have TO DO, to survive.
Instances are buggy
Epic mounts cost over 1000g
Normal mounts cost 90g

Haha alliance suck. I've never lost to a hunter 1v1. They pretty much have to zerg me to kill me off. 60-Shaman-Zul'jin

And since the last patch Epics mount dont cost as much. Fixed many instance bugs. And to get good gear you dont buy it moron. Go do some high level instances. Don't pvp in areas like TM.

I play a 55 tauren druid on kil'jaeden with some friends who also play horde. To people on other servers....does it seem as if all the alliance know how to do is zerg? In TM, it seems that's all they do...gather up 40 people and just try to zerg us..normally ends with them dying lol.

i bought world of warcraft when the guys at the local game store told me it was good. so i bought it, and i played it for a while, but i just think its boring and repetitive... so i canceled my account and my money went down the drain it seems

The game can become boring and repetative, but if you find a character you like it becomes fun. I had a 44 undead mage, and he became really boring, so I made a druid, who is now my main, and a lot of fun. Also, were you grinding or doing quests? I don't find grinding as fun or rewarding as quests, but sometimes you have to grind. Also, levels 1-10 can be a bore, but after that, it can become a lot of fun.

World of warcraft is worth the 15 bucks a month, I have played a Night elf hunter to 60, I recently rerolled and went horde, and Iam now a level 42 tauren shaman. The game is great, for both PvE and PvP.
