I agree the game looks fantastic, but I think their timing on release is poor. They are gonna have just enough time for the game to get old, before WotLK comes out and all the people they got from Wow are gonna go right back.


Well that really depends on if the game sucks or not. i would counter with they are releasing it with enough time for people to get invested in it and less likely to go back to WoW.

Honestly my interest in WoW has been waning its to gimmicky, one of the last straws for my was this gay ass spirit of competition. Its like rather than make a good game they just put all this ADD crap in it.


/agreed
WoW has become a gear grind. In the end that's all it is. You grind for mats to make your CRAFTED EPIC LOOTZ! You run your raids TO GET YOUR EPIC GAER! You PvP TO GET UR WELFAER EPIX!!! You know when WotLK comes out, that's all it will be.
Screw all that. Lemme at WAR.

honestly, aren't all of these games GEAR GRINDS? I mean, thats why people get so invested in these games, to level up to the highest level, then make their character the strongest out of all, by getting the gear that suites them, or by getting the gear that will customize their character the most.

Now, granted, there are people that do enjoy roleplaying out in WOW land, Im on one of those servers (Moon Guard, for anyone who wants to know), but in reality, when the people on those servers arent RPing, they are probably leveling and then trying to get the equipment to turn their character into exactly what they want.

In summation: The biggest aspect of all of these games, and the games before it (in my humnble opinion), are the customization of the gear that one can aquire, and therefore the customization of the characters as a whole. It isn't like a console game, wherein we are capable of achieving all of the storytelling aspects. God knows, i enjoy the story of WoW just as much as any other story driven game, but in actuality, all games that are MMOs generally are gear/Level grinds.

Well, I'm playing this. Right now we're in the Collector's Edition Head Start.

The server is Vortex and Destruction side.

My character name is Skylah, Dark Elf Disciple of Khaine.

We have a guild going on called Guild Name, so if any of you want to join us, you can go in and send me a tell or mail me or whatever.

I would post the link to the VGEvo thread, but the site is down right now. Sad

If I'm not mistaken, Isle of the Dead for renamed because that's where we were in Beta.

We tried Skull Throne and that place was way too full. So we did Vortex.

Yup, I succumbed to a MMO, I don't believe it either.

I'm on Tor Achere

Destruction, Chaos Army, Rank 5 Zealot named Byelabog, you'll probably see me running around with a Rank 5 Marauder named Czernabog.
