World Of Warcraft is it worth playing?

[mrhelpful]

It depends, and I can only imagine how much time to lvl an account. And what do you do when your done with lvl to 60 or whatever max lvl.

[Gumbork]

Guild wars 2 is better 

Ill jump onto this and say GW2 is not worth buying at all. Bad game.

What game do you suggest then?

[MakeBelieve]

It does seem most people loved it to start but grew very tried rather quickly.

it used to be but not so much anymore. it used to be challenging and fun, you would have to collaborate with group members, make a strategy, mark targets, talk about your plan. now you can almost literally roll your face on the keyboard and have all the epics. so sad what it has become. what you might consider is playing vanilla or burning crusade on a private server if you can find one with good scripting.

oh also it looks like ever-quest next is shaping up to be the first true third generation mmo. you might want to wait for that.

the thing that annoyed me about wow was that once you wiped, it took 15-20 minutes getting set up for another try. that's 15-20 minutes of just waiting around, doing nothing but chat. i found that boring.

and then if you killed some raid bosses and got some gear that was all fine and dandy.. until they release a new raid zone 3 months later, and your old gear is obsolete.

This.
Now it's a game for newbies. It wasn't like that when it was first introduced.

I used to play a lot when it first came out, but after the first expansion pack was released I pretty much quit. In my opinion it's a waste of time.

It's a waste of time indeed....

[MakeBelieve]

So, what game is similar to WOW when it first started out?

[jackyrozario]

played WoW for, give or take  I'd hardly ever find myself bored while playing it.......

[wunkbone]

Wow isn't worth playing, there are ton of games which are free and much better..

Could you give me some examples of the free ones which are better?

Any game is free if you're a pirate. ~Arr

Not unless you have a few years of your life to waste. I got to Lv 30 and all it was basically was doing quests to Lv up. That was a few years ago though, might of changed by now.

It's way too easy now.

It shouldn't take u more then 1 month to get max level now....

But lvling after 70 takes a lot of time.

the grind to the level cap was always more fun to me anyways. i liked smaller 5 man groups or 10 man raids. it's amazing to me how a 10 year old game could generate $100 million per month in revenues.. the graphics are from what your average computer could run in 2004. i'm not sure about the content, but it sounds just like a rehash of the same thing over and over.

Back in Vanilla, it took months to level to 60. I don't see your problem.

Unless you play everyday, it will take months aswell.
After lvl 70, after lvl 80 and after lvl 85, the exp needed for the next lvl is colossal.
It scales too quickly, like the best itens from the previous expansions will be useless right after you get lvl 71, 81 and 86, which means that every new Expansion kills all the grindind from the previous ones.

[izzotheschizo]

never played it.
