Selbbin Reppep	Posted - 2007.01.07 21:41:00 - [1] So after two and a bit years playing eve, I realised that there were other online games out there. I got World of Warcraft for Christmas and I must say its a great divertion from Eve. Anyone else play this game, and if so, how does it affect your Eve time?

Pickaname	Posted - 2007.01.07 21:47:00 - [5] I played wow for about 5 months after I became a SWG refugee. Wow is fun, but only part of the time. 0-60 is a grind, but its a decent grind, with lots to see and do along the way. The problem with wow is there isn't any purpose to the game. You can't change the game in any way. You just collect your gear and then go collect more gear - or participate in meaningless pvp. Bragging rights is the only purpose you have to do anything. It gets really mundane after a few months. It's definatly a game to experience though, enjoy.

Caerleus Salvage Inc	Posted - 2007.01.07 21:53:00 - [11] I've been having a break whilst long skills train and have been playing Rappelz instead, a free to play game a bit like WoW, Whilst I found it pretty good for the first few days, once I got to level32, I was left thinking that all the game involved was going round and bashing monsters of one description or other. I guess it was interesting to kill stuff 17 levels higher than the character i was playing and to annoy everyone on vent talking about my armor tanking Holy Warrior who drank cap boosters and which needed a cleric to remote rep him, and confusing everyone by talking about buying stuff with ISk. Eve is like a new girlfriend - you know its going down at some point, its just when and for how long.
Raem Civrie Umbra Congregatio Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.01.07 22:09:00 - [12] Edited by: Raem Civrie on 07/01/2007 22:09:10 WoW is a pretty good diversion from EVE, mostly because you can jump in and out of it. Doesn't have the same tendency to create strong obligations like EVE. And it isn't EQ2. The whole "EITHER OR" mindset of so many EVE players when it comes to WoW is a bit childish. Like you can't enjoy both EVE and WoW at the same time (or in alternating doses. A couple of months of EVE, couple of months of WoW). Stops ya from burning out on EVE, for one. ---- All you do is bark. You never meow.
Jogun	Posted - 2007.01.07 22:13:00 - [13] wow will consume and destroy your life. I quit a year ago, sense then I have lost 70lbs, made 20k more a year in rl work and spend a lot more time with my friends and Family. Eve has a great leveling system imo. Casual friendly!
Sovy Kurosei Amarr Therianthropic Technologies	Posted - 2007.01.07 22:15:00 - [14] WoW is like that hot eighteen year old blonde. Fun to play around with but probably not somebody you'll have a long, fulfilling relationship with. Well, maybe you'll see this screen soon enough and come back to the fold. ___________________

World of Warcraft is the most boring MMORPG I've played in my life with the exception of Maple Story. I would go so far to say that Runescape is more exciting than WoW. That's really saying something. Personally, I enjoyed WoW while I played it, but I'd never tried Eve. Eve is far more fulfilling, as an ealier post said.

WoW 2007, WoW 2008, WoW 2009... World of Warcraft 2142: In World of Warcraft 2142™, players choose to fight for one of two military superpowers - the Alliance or the newly reformed Horde -in an epic battle for survival. Armed with a devastating arsenal of gnome crafted weaponry, including crossbows, mind control devices and explosives, players will also take control of the most lethal mounts known to man. Massive Kodos wage fierce combat on the ground, while futuristic nether drakes rule the skies. When taking on these new fantasic mounts players will need to use their wits and an arsenal of new gnome-tech countermeasures like flares, grenades and rocket boots to level the playing field. ___________________

Hey, you make it sound almost bearable. :) You forgot to mention the SUPER GRIND though. But i hear they are giving out epics to everybody these days.

Daelmon Minmatar Ascent of Ages R i s e	Posted - 2007.01.07 22:42:00 - [21] Played WoW hardcore for 2 years, found Eve, and will never, ever, set foot in WoW again.
Fuujin Hadean Drive Yards	Posted - 2007.01.07 22:45:00 - [22] See i can understand why people would be entertained by wow prior to playing EVE. However after putting in some quality time into EVE i can't even begin to comprehend how wow can still be enjoyable, it's just so static, cookie cutter and boring.

WoW is pretty sweet for what it is. the problem i have with it and other mmos is that after playing it 2 years i don't have any sort of lasting accomplishment that makes my character stand out, especially after the expansion comes out. EVE is way more variable and with the skill training system you still have some edge on the competition as a reward for specializing and dedicating time to your character. ---- Would you like some cries with your whaaamburger?

However after putting in some quality time into EVE i can't even begin to comprehend how wow can still be enjoyable, it's just so static, cookie cutter and boring. True that, but I can see how it could be an enjoyable game even so. Sometimes you just want to turn the brain off and veg in front of something. WoW is certainly good for that. ------------------- ... [OK] ... zOMG!

Matori Kar	Posted - 2007.01.07 23:08:00 - [26] WoW was great for a while. The pve stuff is pretty much second to none. 0-60 was no where near a grind, it was mostly fun The problem was on hitting 60, Blizz decided that all 60+ content required a mass amount of people taking a mass amount of time to do raids so I quit DAoC kicked the raid stuffing out of me and that has far far more level grind than WoW WoW pvp was fun but fast paced and pointless. Now, if Blizz fixed the 60, now 70+ content to allow solo and single groups to compete against the mass raid in terms of rewards, then they would have kept a hell of alot more of their subscribers... Caldari: Don't have to worry about transversal, falloff/optimal, cap, tracking, how your damage type is being tanked,ship speed, the direction you are moving... etc. Easy Mode w00t!!
MOS DEF 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.01.07 23:09:00 - [27] See you in 4 weeks.
Fracking Beach	Posted - 2007.01.08 19:52:00 - [28] If youre into WoW, you might also want to check out Guild Wars. No monthly payments, similar type of game.
Kaizek Gallente Imperium Forces	Posted - 2007.01.08 19:59:00 - [29] Ive been playing Everquest II and Eve pretty much at the same time. I Do dabble in Wow but thE similarities to DAoC in the endgame are pretty much the same. Get to 60, get all the gear, and PvP in the same boring static battlegrounds day in and day out or try to find the non existant PvP in the gameworld or the constant zergirrific hell that is Hillsbrad foothills. Pretty much boring, I will give WoW credit for excellent game based on their Warcraft world, but it does get old quickly. I prefer everquest II. More content and more quests with multiple steps that can quickly consume time. But at the end of the day, all the games have the grinds, it just all depends on which grind you like best.
Kim Chee Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.08 20:19:00 - [30] WoW was a lot of fun for about 6 months. Once you've made a charcter of every class and played them all to 20 (2 weeks), you can pick one and play them to 60. Then it becomes a question of how much grinding you want in your diet.... Things to like about WoW... It's simple. You can run around and kill stuff without any consequences, because there's almost NO death penalty. It has pretty graphics, provided you don't want realism. You have hundreds of servers to choose from, so if you annoy people, there are lots of places to run to. Quests hold your hand every step of the way. Things to hate about WoW... It's simple. There are no consequences to dying, so dying is a valid mechanic to finish quests (see corpse jumping). There are hundreds of servers, so you'll never find all your friends in ONE place. Quests hold your hand every step of the way. You grind from 1 to 60, so that you can grind away at the same instances for those rare drops, or so you can grind away at Battlegrounds PvP for warlord gear. Nothing in WoW is NOT a grind. Male night elf death animations are the most pathetic ever devised for any computer game.... seriously. Average mental age of WoW players appears to be about 8 years old. Train up your 133t 5p37k V skill!

El Muerte	Posted - 2007.01.08 21:06:00 - [32] Wow is an excellent game until (like someone stated earlier) you hit the lvl cap then it becomes boring if you are not in a good guild running the instances. Eve is similar if you are not in a good corp you most likely are sitting in empire space twiddling your thumbs. Which gets boring. I have played them both for 2 years+ upon their release dates. If you need a break from eve WoW is a nice refresher.
Nemiona Minmatar The Phoenix Legion	Posted - 2007.01.08 21:47:00 - [33] started eve in 2003... started wow in 2005. I still play eve, I dont play wow anymore. Wow was fun with your first lvl 60 char, then you made another, did the same quests... then yet another.. ------ The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only far more expensive.

Plutoinum German Cyberdome Corp Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2007.01.08 22:12:00 - [34] Edited by: Plutoinum on 08/01/2007 22:18:53 Originally by: Selbbin Reppep So after two and a bit years playing eve, I realised that there were other online games out there. I got World of Warcraft for Christmas and I must say its a great divertion from Eve. Anyone else play this game, and if so, how does it affect your Eve time? See you in 6 months. If you don't find a motivated guild that keeps you in that game that long I expect you back earlier. Nevertheless have fun. I had some fun there, too, just regret a bit that I didn't continue skilling my EVE chars during that time. Hehe. Well, some people seem to stay in wow forever. My old guild is there already for around 2 years since beta. Still raid-instance running like mad. They offer other players places in their raid groups now to get them epics and let them pay with gold for it. lol. CTD/con-loss vs. log-out. A proposal for a fix.
Baleine4Nerver	Posted - 2007.01.09 15:24:00 - [35] I have also been dabbling in WOW recently , and before anyone asks.. NO , You cannot have my stuff ! I may or may not be back, but im not giving it away, it took me 3 years to get it :). Im finding it a nice diversion from my long standing EVE mistress. As weve fallen out of favour with each other since recent content and game changing patches. I've lost my EVE way, cant see the point in loggin in at the moment, only to make sure im still training. It may be the people or area I work in, but there is no PvP unless they outnumber you 3-1, local has IMHO been nerfed. The risks to some are too great to enter combat due to the ridiculous prices of ships and mods. Anyway of to kill some Orcs. Back in a bit ===============================================
NAP	Posted - 2007.01.09 16:48:00 - [36] It will be interesting to see how the release of Burning Crusade affects the numbers of players on Tranquility, especially as much of Revelations hasn't been very well received so far, and CCP don't seem to be giving us 100% at the moment. I've never seen Eve's playerbase as disillusioned as they are now, but I hope TQ can maintain its growth after the release of WoW's imminent expansion.
