Default World of Warcraft

Does anyone play this? I played it for 3 months or so earlier this year, then stopped... now I'm back on.
I have various characters on various realms - tell us which you're on!

I use to play the Warcraft III game a lot. This type of games aren't really my thing but I am really amused by the large amount of people who play world of warcraft. I know so many individuals who play WOW and aren't really typical gamers. Amusing I think

WOW has been criticised by hardcore on-line gamers for its poor pvp system and labelled as a MMPORG for the masses. GW seems to be the best game atm.

What is GW?
I played WoW briefly, and I don't think the critique of it is nearly as extensive as it could be. Not only PvP, but also PvE lacks content, variation and point. The only character quality being valued and rewarded is pig-headed
sitting through instances and battlegrounds, doing the same things over and over again. Terrible game, if you ask me.

I presume they mean Guild Wars. I was attracted by the notion that it doesn't charge monthly fees like most other MMORPGs (*cough* WoW *cough*). It was a fun game to play, but I lost interest in it once I finished the campaign. There really isn't that much else to do, besides the massively unbalanced PvP matches and retarded trading system. I cracked up once when some guy started shouting "WTB 10 NEGRO SLAVES"...

the problem with games like warhammer is that it's more costly than a video game and you need friends who like it, which seems to be hard to find.

My boyfriend got me into it. 200$ later and I have a batallion of unpainted wood elves, due to my obsessive compulsive nature.

I have painted two models in 6 months. A nightgoblin for a painting contest and a wardancer lord. The rest are in various states of unfinishedness... *cry*

I used to play Daoc which has a poligonal graphic style a lot different from the more cartoonistic one in WOW. It's generally more difficult and sometimes even frustrating.

I had an account there but found the interface too user-unfriendly.
I don't take any gamer seriously who doesn't play Lineage 2.
Until you do, you will never understand the torment of The Grind

BTW - will sell my account with several high level chars.
PM me with offers

Isn't lineage II the game where people started making money in the game and selling it in real life and people started using bots to generate income in the game and sell it online?
