Shake your money maker...

Buy Sims 2 or The Sims, you can understand what they're saying a lot more than MMORPGers. Not to mention the intelligence gap.

Simple answer: Yes. It's nice if you are into the genre and like RPG's. Also, it's not 25 pounds per month. A gamecard here in the netherlands (with wich you can play for -two- months) is like 25 euro, which would come to roughly 17/18 pounds per two months of playing. If you really want to test the game try getting your hands on a 14 day trial account, but if you like the Warcraft series, it's a defenate recommendation :).

ht here


You are saying combat in swg is fun? Please dont take this offensively man but the new system is the most troublesome combat system ever. If you guys want a good twitch based game, you should try Dungeons and Dragon Online. I personally play wow and if you guys think the grind in that game is bad you havent played that many mmorpgs. There are many worse games than wow in the grinding aspect. WoW however makes alot of the leveling up pretty fun. Every few levels you get to run instances and get some pretty cool gear.


if u wanna see most boring grind ever try lineage 2

SWG and WoW combat is similar.

I still want a turnbased combat :(

EDIT and there is challenge in WoW. The Leech (sp?) king is supposed to be THE hardest NPC. The Blizzard devs say a full 40man raid group of cl70s cant take him down. Enemies in SWG are soloable.

its a much better game to play with someone, me and bubu only play together and we love it. combat dont bore us because we use strategy between us to attack so it makes it more fun.

anywayz graphics in that game are cool, if u played w3 then it will be pretty simmilar and thats good.
i didnt play it much only teh trial, but i should say that its really decent game, much better in pve than guildwars, all the magic atmosphere with strange creatures just charms me...

I like WoW a lot, but I think the whole MMORPG genre has a lot of growing to do.

Combat needs to be twitch-based, and there needs to be less dependence on the idea of level and number of hit points. Death should be permanent unless somebody resurrects you within 24 hours.

The world needs to be dynamic. People who like WoW better than GW tend to complain that GW's world is all instanced...but in WoW the cool dungeons are all instanced, so it's the same thing. Instancing is a necessary evil because of the current limitations of the technology, so I can live with it, but I long for the day when it will go away.

WoW players tend to spend 10+ hours per week playing it, and in the U.S. it's about $15 a month (less if you buy several months at a time). Ask yourself how many hours of entertainment you could buy with the same $15 going to the movies, the bar or the clubs. It's a good bang for your buck.


im 15 so i cant go to bars :P but thanks again, this is all good stuff. keep it coming :) thanks dudes
edit: ill be going over to my m8s house tommorrow to try it out. although he plays on private servers (-cough- haxs -cough-) so i can see what the graphics and pretty much what the gameplay is like :)

my opinion. i had a 36 night elf rogue.
8 races:
Alliance:
Night Elf
Human
Gnome
Dwarf
Horde:
Tauren
Undead
Orc
Troll
Classes:
Rogue
Priest
Mage
Warrior
Warlock
Alliance: Paladin
Horde: Shamen
the combat after awhile gets boring to i just dont like that if your engaged on one person attacking others will only get you killed. but iw as a rogue so... mabe being a mage you get area attacks like frie storm and stuff.
so i really cant judge the game cause i had tons of friends on it to. had 2 guilds an alliance on destromath , and a horde one on stonemaul "hottie patrol" was the name.
at end game it can be pretty fun but after a while it'll just die, once you get all your calsses epic items. you get highest PVP rank and get grand marshall weapons/armor. epic mount. all that jazz.
But personally i would point you towards city of villains.
i really loved combat in that game. the powers were awesome .. i so do loved the energy blasts and empathy. all like BOOM friggn HEADSHOT then can go and heal ppl. i was very pleased with COV/COH
so i would point you towards that mixing powers and the character creation is amazing. and the villains are really fun to play.
whilst wow can get really boring in a process.
do bunch of quests.. lvl.. go grinding till you lvl... go do an instance 20 TIMES!! to get that item you wanted but someone took it from you and now you gotta do the whole damn instnace AGAIN TO GET THAT FRIGGN SWORD GAWD DAMNIT!!!
then repeat with less ests then do another instance.
wash and repeat on a bigger scale...
now city of villains aint as different but i gotta say those missionsare hecka fun... and that random save you get in from cruising the town like a badarse.
there all O NOES IM GUNNA DIES then you go /Heal and then OWN those baddies in the face with some blasty-ness there all thx yo. and you go np Homey thats how we do. and you fly away...
good times....
but if you dont have that money to spare then probably just go for guild wars...
or try some free MMO's there not all crap.
im into Gunz The duel currently and im trying to get Face Of Mankind to work which is an mmofps. WITH ALIENS!! they were newly added and i want to blast some foo's so yeah im dieing to get it up and running...
well tahts all from me any questions leave em under the carpet in the back or the "profile"

honestly (plz dont flame me :() i think the combat is kinda boring (my opinion)

graphics as you would probally know arent that good(which means you wont lag unless you computer is crap)

some of the quests are fun...and they make you keep wanting to continue...but others are like "go kill 10 so-and-so creature...not much fun

my friends have played it since october 05 and most of them are sixties and thier playing time has slowed down...but they were alliance and they make hoarde characters on a diff server

you can also be different types of the races (8 of em) and use different combinations of the classes (dunno how many there are)

dont know about the money in europe i just know its $30 or $40 to get the game then $15 a month

personally i dont like WoW...mainly because the combat (opinion) is boring and combat is one of the biggest parts of WoW

this seemed like a review so im going to give it a score 7/10

i leave with 3 comments

if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket go and try it out

plz dont flame me...

and yes i have played WoW and i was a bit disappointed so dont get your hopes too high
