I'm surprised you didn't see it in my last thread...

Well, about WoW... Since I am the thread starter, I'll comment on this.

I dislike MMORPGs. A lot. They are usually only made for you to spill your money to the developpers and the game usually stagnate until you get fed up and leave because you been playing the same game over and over and over again for years.I was very reluctant to try out WoW, and I would probably never have tryied if it wasn't of one of my friends who was sick at the time and had nothing to do than play computer games all day (and rest). So I started a free account to give him some company... And then, as I began playing around more seriously on my own, I saw the light.

What kind of light, you ask? Not the "OMG this is the best kind of game I have ever played I must be smitten not to have seen this before!" kind of light... But the "God, this game is a true gem and it's probably the best of it's kind ever made yet" kind of light.

Sure, I still dislike MMORPGs. Just like I still hate adventure games. This never stopped me, however, to try some once in a while and stop to analyse the strenght and the weaknesses of each game. There is crappy games in all genre, and there is real gems in all genres too. WoW is one of those gems. I tryied a lot of MMORPGs in my days, and I always got a lot of issues about them. WoW managed to even out almost all of those issues, and it's still fun to play while at the same time having enough different content to please any kind of player.

So, yeah... MMORPGs (usually) sucks. But just like I'd tell you to try MOO and Master of Magic if you think that strategy games in general sucks... Try out WoW at least once before complaining, even if you think MMORPGs sucks. It's that good.
