these WOW commercials have gotten out of hand, noone wants to buy a 4 year old game with horrible graphics and a monthly fee, Blizzard, you should be ashamed

I'll "NEVER" buy a game with a monthly access fee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diablo II, oh ya...!!!!

^ Hear, hear. But really, I'm just afraid to become totally addicted.

Then again, Diablo III will just do the same thing to me...

Apparently over 11 million people pay that monthly fee, and the latest expansion sold (a record breaking) 2.8 million copies during the first 24 hours of launch. Love it or hate it, doesnt really matter, World of Warcraft will still go down as the defining game of this generation.

That it will.


This commercial.. ROCKS! Pun not intended.

And yet it's such a shame to better games that it was just a fluke of circumstance, imo. It was made to be very accessible with scatter gun tactics.. attract as many mmo fans as you can by putting as many elements of mmo games as possible into it, whether it worked correctly or not.

Though i hate to do it, i have to admit lich king was excellently done, at least from a solo-questing/storyline standpoint. I got some of the best storylines and emotional feeling from it since baldur's gate and that's saying a lot. However if we forget lich king for a minute and pretend it isn't out yet, 50% of the wow community would probably tell you that the game isn't particularly good, enjoyable, well done, and 75% would almost certainly tell you that blizzard treat the community like groupies to be shat on at will and they feel that they're cheated with the price they pay against the service they recieve. Still pay it though.

I think most of the popularity of the game came about because it was released at the right time. A time which will never happen again. The internet became huge. People will tell you the internet became huge before that, but it didn't become REALLY huge. 5-10 years before that a lot of people had the internet but if you played games on it as a schoolkid, at school you were still a nerd. Nowadays even the cool people at school do it. (god that sounds crap, but it's the best way to get my point across)

I'll tell you i thought everquest was the be-all and end-all of mmo's - but perhaps it's because i was really young when i played it and i was more susceptible to mystery and fantasy.

To summarize, i'm amazed the game became as big as it did, because it really isn't good enough, isn't maintained well enough, etc. etc. I'm sure someone will argue this point with me, but they won't be able to argue that half the people playing it think all this, and that's really the point - half the people playing it (11 million? at £9.99/$xx.xx per month) don't think it's good enough. (again, all pre-expansion, it's too early to speak averages otherwise)

And furthermore obviously i haven't spoken to 5.5 million wow players, i've spoken to/heard from thousands and thousands whilst playing and at least half were of this opinion.

Nerdspeech over.

WoW is a great game, it just takes way too much time investment to stay competitive. I played it for over 2 years before selling my account. Quitting the game is a lot easier when someone offers you $500 to do so.

I bet Ozzy would actually play the game if he could virtually bite off the head of a dove in it.

a) what does his character say at the end?
b) WotLK is really, really good. Way better than TBC.

I'm sure Blizzard is laughing at your comment... all the way to the bank.
