pick WoW up when WoTLK comes out or start now and hit 70, then quit, because once WoTLK comes out everyone will have a fresh start, gear from BC will become obsolete and people will be wearing dungeon blues from northrend


anyways, guildwars is very anti-mmo ish, it's almost a singleplayer game with the option to go online

Im playing anarchy online, but thats probably just as complex as EVE , and the graphics turn a lot of people off so

Why not try Conan as you are in the US, and so real time combat isn't an issue. Or WAR when it comes out. Should be a laff. Srsly being able to plan a raid by saying 'LETZ GET EM BOYZ' and then charging in must appeal to somebody else here.

Get WoW if you haven't 'fully' played an MMO. The truth of the matter is that WoW is the best MMO in the market and neither Conan or WAR will change that, ever. All the new introductions and additions they're bringing in with Wrath of the Lich King cements Warcraft's place at the top of the MMO food chain for a long time to come.

There's no point in not getting a game because you've 'missed the boat'. You're never going to be on the boat with an MMO anyway- especially in a game as massive and overplayed as Warcraft. The people at the front of each and every race are literally the definition of no-life basement MMO players, some of which are even paid and sponsored to do such things. So play for your own satisfaction and enjoyment and forget where you're fitting in in the 'bigger picture'. So many people level alts and new characters on the Warcraft servers anyway... it's never as if you're leveling in a ghost-town with no one around . You'll still feel immersed in the MMO and will never struggle to find a group to help out on any quest or instance.

And yes, peoples' advice about Wrath of the Lich King is generally worth taking. I myself am considering leveling one more character to 70 before WoTLK, - but I definitely won't play the character at level 70 before the expansion pack. The gear-farming grind just isn't worth doing considering everyone is pretty much on the same starting line at the time of an expansion pack launch.

I heard conan fails hard and i don't know enough about WAR to consider it

Conan aparently is quite good as an RPG. Uzique, WAR isn't intended to take on WoW, the game is PvP focused and has a sense of humour. WoW isn't either of those for the most part...

Conan is fail as an RPG, I have a level 80 and actually championed the game until the hype and new game bewonderment wore off. Also as a WAR Beta tester I can tell you that the 'PvP' at the moment is rudimentary at best and is nowhere near as refined or fluid as World of Warcraft. And I don't mean that as a criticism towards the games immaturity and lack of experience- I mean fundamentally it seems destined to fail. Melee classes have a 4-second global cooldown between each attack swing... this is to make "pvp encounters longer and thus more enjoyable". Personally I'd rather feel as though the fights were fluid and reactive, and simply increase player's health and hitpoints instead. Only time will tell...

Oh and Mutant don't fear the fabled 'addiction'. You only play as much as you allow yourself to and you only 'succumb' to the game as much as you voluntarily want to. If you have an active social life and work to keep up with WoW won't affect that at all-- people who say such things are just idiots, or hence otherwise people that really need to develop some self-control and self-discipline. Casually leveling and developing a character has never been easier; I've played WoW on and off since the games initial release- and nowadays the 1-70 process is faster than ever,- and is still being made even easier (e.g. 60% speed mounts are now attainable at level 30, rather than level 40).

Yea mounts at 30 are nice. At first I was pissed because I had to work to 40 for my mounts, but now that I've started leveling a few alts it's really nice . Also in 2.3 "Now leveling from character levels 20-60 is faster, with less experience needed per level in that range as well as higher quest experience rewards for quests levels 30-60."
