World of Warcraft

[darkshadow2247]

I can't believe that there isn't a thread about this MMO on here. Does anyone here play World of Warcraft?

 

[Shaggy]

Not me. You into it?

 

[darkshadow2247]

Indeed I do.

 

[rissole25]

I wanna play it, but its pay to play and I don't have a credit card.

So have you killed Arthas yet?

 

[darkshadow2247]

It is PtP but it's so cheap. It cost like $75 USD for 6 months of unrestricted play time. In the scope of things, that's like buying a console game once every 6 months - which I think is phenomenal. Consider the fact that you're playing an ever changing game rather than you pay for this, so this is all you're getting.

And speaking of Arthas, no I have not. I played before I left on deployment and had a 72 frost mage. It was hacked and the acct went to shit, so I started fresh. I now have a 20 frost mage.

 

[rissole25]

I might consider paying for it

 

[rissole25]

We know that you bot...................

 

[darkshadow2247]

Oh yeah. You caught me. Join the fun on Wildhammer.

 

[rissole25]

Hehe I wasn't talking about you darkshadow. There was a bot that just copied stuff from wikipedia about WoW that everyone already knew about. I guess he got deleted.

 

[darkshadow2247]

I knew that...

....mostly. lol

 

[rissole25]

So what are your levels on WoW?

i did think about buying and playing this game, but you do have to PtP, and it takes ages just to do anything....u also cant realy do anything by urself either....

 

[rissole25]

I think you can have private servers for you and your friends

 

[clief101_]

i dont know? you can have like a group of friends and clans and what not, but u cant make ur own server....

You cannot have your own servers but you can party up with random toons and there are guilds. It does not take ages to accomplish things and it is completely possible to solo from level 1 to level 80. I'm at level 33 and I've only partied up to quest once because someone was looking for help. While it is possible to solo through low level dungeons as a healing class (you'd die without the ability to heal), most people don't do it.

The fact that endgame (content for toons at the 80 level cap) bosses are 3 levels higher than the cap makes it nearly impossible to solo through endgame dungeons and raids. And yes, there is a huge difference between 3 levels in WoW.

i know all this, and i also know it is alot easier if you party up (even if only 1 person can get the item that ur after)....i just get kinda bored with MMO type games...

 

[darkshadow2247]

I never get bored with MMOs. I'm a social person IRL, so naturally I flock to an MMO style game.

 

[clief101_]

I wouldnt mind the friends side of MMO, just it takes a long time to do anything..ive been told it can take up to 5hrs+ just to do 1 raid

 

[darkshadow2247]

You're right. The thing is, even though dungeons are long, they hold enough mobs to level through them, you get phat lootz, and the content of them spans multiple concepts aside from, "Hey, attack this mob with your normal rotation."

 

[clief101_]

yeh, plus u have to have different kinds of players in your group. e.g a tank or a healer etc...
