I'm equally awesome in WoW as I am here - I bubble hearth at the least sign of danger.

Join in, it will be fun.

I play on Kor'gall EU, but I'm trying to quit atm

I play very sporadically now, mainly to hang with friends, but I was a big wow-head for the first 2-3 years there. I went from Shadow Council to Emerald Dream when the RP-PVP servers opened up.

Now I'm finally back to playing non MMO'ish games when I have the time. Though all that, I predict, will end again when Old Republic goes live.

I always play humans in RPG's so yeah.. I'm alliance, deal with it.

Oh and my name here is rather related to my original main WoW character (it was his nick name, in an RP sort of way).

I used to play on Balnazzar-EU, but I quit before this summer. I've restarted with UP in Lightninghoof-US (I had to buy the damn game again!) and it's still fun. After I had a quick foray into Warhammer Online, I see that WoW has begun to take the good things from WAR and implemented them in WoW. With Cataclysm, guilds will begin to level as well, which seems very interesting.

Mug's game. Yet just when you think you're out for good, it pulls you back in.

See, this is one of the problems with WoW being so popular -- anytime you run into someone who plays it, odds are they're on a different server than you. I'm on Uldum.

NERDS!

Never played it. Never will. I have enough time sinks in my life; I don't need to be adding to them.

I already have a job and I don't have to pay them to let me work. Sometimes they even give me money.

They steal from Lord of the Rings Online a ton too, the guild leveling for instance. Also little things, LotR's had the same exact haircut system WoW now uses about 10 months before WoW implemented it. There's a bunch more.

I played LotR's solid for almost a year, it's surprisingly good if you don't mind a lack of pvp. The crafting system is actually fun, and many of the early level quests have mini-instances that tell tightly scripted events that tie in to the big story arc your character goes through. Very immersive at times.

^Oh yeah, they steal left and right, but as far as I've seen they do most of the things they steal better than the original.. so I have no problem with it.

It's all coke and pepsi.

bah , hasnt anyone moved on to champions online yet

I just can't go there...
After the whole Diablo II thing, that took me almost five years to kick - and awe man was I good...

I'm swearing off the gamming for a bit and by the way, that's what brought me here, it gave me a reason to "not" log on and go MFing with my Zon! (*glancing over at my Diablo II Expansion disk...)


Edit: Also, Diablo II was free to play, I expect my marriage would end if I started WOW!

UsesProzac: I wish I would have had Wow, when my son was born, it would have given me something to do while sitting up with him in the night - What I did have was every season of Angel, Buffy and Farscape on DVD and the Space Channel (total TV overload)

**Also note, "I" was the one putting my son to bed and getting up with him, every night, not my wife - no breast feeding was done - she refused! (same, when my daughter was first born!) Once she gave birth - she was done with them - Postpartum is getting much better now 8 & 12 years later.)
PS: don't tell her I told you

Oh come on.. just a little bit. The first 10 days is free....

Yeah, no way in hell I'm starting another yet another toon on yet another server. Not that I wouldn't want to play with ya'll, but I blow enough of my time on that game as it is O_O.

"Yet just when you think you're out for good, it pulls you back in."

i'm paul and i'm a wowaholic.

i'm afraid i still have a lvl 80 gnome warlock on aerie peak (Gwenovier), but i've haven't played for almost a year.

You and I both. I've never subscribed to that drugless addiction...not gonna start now. In fact I don't even have a facebook. I figure by now, I've not had it for so long now, I have to keep up my reputation.

Yup, videosift is the only way I stay connected with you nerds.

I used to play LOTRO but never got into WoW. My best friend keeps trying to get me into it...I just tell her I got to much grinding to do in real life.

^You'll get in trouble for that at school...

Come join us lann.. you'll like it on the other side.....

Where you on Landroval by any chance Lann?

COD4 > WoW

For grinding? pffttt...not at the school I go to...

Have a priest on Stormrage in Militis Justica. Only now starting to level an alt. Carbonite's a great mod for that.

I tried out Aion, and it's really beautiful... the interface is a downright WOW-clone so it's great, but the game is like beating your head against a wall and WoW has a humor I can't get enough of.

@Doc_M: What a small world, I was a member of Militis Justica on Stormrage (was part of a guild called Silver Blades that got absorbed into MJ around 2005/2006.) I quit before Burning Crusade came out.

Now I'm playing LoTRO on Brandywine. IMHO LoTRO is far superior to WoW, mainly for the crafting systems.

>> ^Throbbin:

I love COD4, but it's the same thing repeatedly. Headshot, headshot. Hee.. WoW is variety for me.

If you ever get shot in the face by a sniper named Mister Rogers, that was me!

@knives. I remember that merge well. Your name?
Mine: Dorander

I've considered Lotr, but I don't think I can split my time up too far.

I made a conscious decision back in the year 2000 never to play MMOs because I would just get addicted and waste my life. I'm pretty familiar with WOW through cultural osmosis, listening to PC gaming podcasts, etc. Looking back on my use of the last 10 years (I defy you to find anyone who has wasted their life/potential as thoroughly as I have), I may as well be a level 80 guild leader camped out at Best Buy for the expansion apck.

Waste - Use; there's a difference, budzos.

I got some old toons on Lightninghoof. Alliance, tho.

My Chars are named Wysh, Syzygy and Mises, btw. The last one is my bank char... extra points for getting the reference.
