There is a very slim chance that this is a serious thread btw.
If you are not collecting T2 & navy modules in your weekly autopilot raid, you will be dancing on top of mailboxes while begging for ISK unless you are busy cyboring in Silvermoon City among bloody elves.
Though I have not played it in ages so who knows, I'd assume not many changes there, but then again assumptions are the first step on a path to ruin.
But really, go watch some videos and read the internets about it if there's any chance you are actually being serious about this? :) It's a very straightforward and quite simple game, propably not very interesting on a long run if you are looking for a lot of variety from your mmorpg like EvE provides. |

I didn't like it at all. The bad graphics I can get away with but the gameplay really is go to the forest and kill boars and the lack of any risk just saps the fun out of it.

you want risk, balz?
make an alliance toon on a pvp realm that is 90% or so horde. lol. that plus that whole crossrealm zones thing they have going now will make anyone throw their keyboard across the room trying to level. |

There is a difference between difficulty created by a solid game design and difficulty created by humans that like to fight with the odds. Albeit, EvE has the later, but it also has solid and deep game design. WoW only has the later. So trying to level in a realm you describe is nothing short of insanity.
I loved Wow back in '05. It was my first experience with online games period. I grew tired of it within a year. Unfortunately I did not find EvE until the summer of '07.
EDIT: I remember jumping off the top of Thunder Bluff the first time and I got this massive feeling of my throat dropping into my stomach and then those two dropping into my gut. It was one of the most amazing feelings I have ever experienced and the fact that I got that while sitting still in a chair watching a computer screen just blew my mind. |

i played it for a few years. started back when burning crusade was in its twilight and everyone was expecting wrath in a few months. still have friends that play. they occasionally try beg and cajole me to come back. I was a pretty good resto druid and hunter.

much like eve in this regard, you do what you want when it comes to professions. if you want money, choose gathering professions and sell what you harvest. or if you like crafting choose those. or, if you want to be useful to yourself as you level, choose professions that would aid you. you said you are a paladin. mining and from what you mine...blacksmithing...would let you make your own equipment as you level up.
personally, I always went with gathering professions while leveling. for the money. then when I got to max level I changed them to useful things for my characters like enchanting and jewelcrafting. of course, over my tenure in that game I had pretty much maxed a toon for every profession. my characters ending up sort of feeding off each other skills. |

Once you will get flying mount, picking up herbs is easy. With Alchemy you can make you self and friends (guild) potions and elexires, always needed during raids. Trinkets, called Alchemist stones (as I remember, haven't been playing WoW for 2 years)

Currently WoW is on sale for 5 $, the bang per buck is impressive. The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7. Come and have drinks and fun somewhere between RL and New Eden! |

I'm still blocking spoof account support emails by the night elf assassins guild from my old account, why would I want to draw more attention from such ruthless assassins? I already keep my closet locked and a shotgun at the ready by my bedroom door just in case. Is 5 $ really worth your life?!? The risk is too great... GÇö+¬GÇö |

I used to like WoW but then WotLK came out, and it was all downhill fromt here.
Actually WoW has been making a steep descent from its proud beginnings as an elitist grind MMORPG to a free-for-all, everything-is-easy cartoon happyland. They've dumbed it down so far now that I'm at a loss for ideas to imagine how they could go further. But they never cease to amaze me.
Vanilla WoW was a tough grind because nothing ever dropped and your characters spent 80% of the fight waiting on mana and doing autoattacks.
Burning Crusade was accessible to everyone but still had difficult content, and enough cooldown spells and mana regen to keep you doing stuff at all times if you knew how to play your class.
WotLK gave even more spells and cooldowns so you could very nearly mash your face on your keyboard and play well. There was still difficult content but they also made easy versions of raids so that really bad players could believe they were at the top of their game.
Cataclysm redid the graphics (which was great BTW) and removed all of the character customization by making each talent tree 10% larger than the total number of talent points you got, so that it was impossible to make a bad build. There are rumors that the content was made more difficult but the truth is that all of the attributes were replaced with stamina (hit points) which made gaming less of a tactical funfest and more into a lets-see-who-dies-the-slowest as mana gradually drained and you weren't really sure if yours would run out before the boss died. This fake difficulty made raids frustrating, but not actually difficult.
Mists of Pandaria actually removed the talent tree and replaced it with a button you click once to choose your specialization. I'm not kidding! This is actually true! They also added a class that does everything that every other class did and better. The Monk is basically a Paladin/Death Knight hybrid on steroids, and is the epitome of their new unspoken motto which is that there is a right class, a right spell, and everything should be simple so that people with severe brain damage should be able to play just as well as elite metagamers.
I'm still hoping for a Blizzard-run Vanilla/BC/Wrath server but I'm not holding my breath.
P.S.: I'm not ashamed to say I loved what WoW used to be. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance) And bring back the missile Inquisitor!! |

It was jewelcrafting when I played, and I have a hunch that hasn't changed. I could very easily be wrong though. Jewelcrafting was the best because it was the hardest. If it's not hard it won't be the best I think, but I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to prove me wrong there. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander.

World of Warcraft is rather addiction.
However, I don't like it.
Once you are max level you have to do all your dailies and weeklies or otherwise you feel like you are wasting your sub money.
Personally I don't like being forced to play every day so I don't like it. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. Captain Tardbar: The official grumpy cat of General Discussion. |

I played from 2005-2008 as an end-game raider, the game got worse and worse over time as Blizzard started pandering to "casuals" and screwing over the hardcore playerbase, so I left before it got any worse.
All I hope is that Eve doesn't follow the same path. |

The 'fashion show' game model is pretty old and busted now. Striving to get new clothes and accessories as the only way of advancement. But for a brief time WoW was awesome. Anyone who doesn't admit that is lying. It singlehandedly blew the MMO scene wide open. Now it's dying a slow death. With population dwindling more each month. I don't think it will ever recover totally, even if it goes free to play. But it lasted much longer than i would have expected. "In the void is virtue, and no evil.

Honestly, I don't really think they expected to keep it on life support this long.. but if the cow still has a lil milk left in her, why not try to make money on it, I guess.
I'm not ashamed to say I had fun playing WoW back when I did. I started at the end of vanilla, just before BC. I tried to hang through Wrath, took a break, and burned through Cata in a couple days and was saddened by how easy they made everything. Still, there were good times at some point. Those times won't come back, however. I mean, you gain a level for spelling your own name correctly now
They had a lot of things they could of done with the game after Wrath. Cata could have been made better. I still don't understand how Pandas got voted up over the Emerald Dream and the rest of the lore that got benched, but /shrug.
As for EVE.. I seriously don't see CCP following in Blizzard's footsteps. Hell, I'd expect them to completely remove CONCORD and all notion of Highsec before they followed Blizz into EZ-mode game models. |

I've gone back and played WoW like 4 tmes now. The guy who introduced me to EvE also played WoW so he dragged me into that one too (and a few other games like LoL and WoT, he's a game ***** lol).
I tried several different paths and some of the experience was cool, it just didn't hook me, even after I got my 1st mount or finally was able to turn into a bear and tank some stuff lol. I wasn't into PnP warcraft either so no surprise I couldn't fall in love with WoW. Not a bad game if you are into that stuff.
I'm really just not into MMOs, which is one reason why EVE (the "anti-mmo" mmo) really appealed to me I think. |

Vanilla to '09 (no idea what one that was, cata?) just got too easy I couldn't play it any moer. They destroyed pvping until it was just who had the best gear and all quick games...used to love my 12 hour valley of alterac, pushing the horde back for them to come back and pushing us back, calling out to the server to get more people in etc etc...
Nope, now its wowkemon and how pretty can I make my cartoon toon...

You must not have done much PvP in vanilla. People in raid epics were laying waste to the majority that only had greens and blues. Or maybe you had the epics so it was all skill?
My greatest moment was beating a guy in a rogue 1v1 who had the full bloodfang set, and i was in about half greens and blues. His teammates rode past thinking he didn't need help. Even though it was rough as hell back then, i probably enjoyed that single moment more than anything else in my entire time playing that game. "In the void is virtue, and no evil.

Played it for 8 years. I even run a Guild
But I've been feeling less drawn to it. Things are too easy and constrained nowadays.
Flying mounts just made the world feel smaller and epics mean nothing any more.
I don't think the game itself declined. We just got bored of it.
There are very few changes that I don't consider and improvement in itself. Less grindy quests. better skill system and so on. The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity. |

Well, there haven't been people in Silvermoon since Cataclysm (everyone and everything is in Orgrimmar now), so that part is incorrect but everything else is about right.
MoP really killed my interest in to the game, havent played it since the launch really. The story doesn't really interest me one bit, which is the main reason I played the game. Like others I really used to like the game and even though probably this is partly nostalgia goggles, the game was at it's height during TBC. Wrath was still a decent expansion bringing conclusion to the Arthas storyarc from WC3, but it has been going downhill from there. Yeah, yeah, that's what everyone else says too.
Outdoor PvP also gave me some of the most memorable moments in the game, but that is also almost completely dead. |
