Why To Play WOW
« on: November 10, 2005, 12:35:54 am »
link removed

Turn your graphics on high, since by default they are set to low.
This game allows you to immerse yourself into a fantasy world.
You may find the artistic display of colors and graphics amazing.
In this day and age when computer graphics are still primitive
for gaming, you will see that artistic talent blended with style
and technology produce an effect in this game that is nostalgic.
The only downsides to this game that I have found thus far
would be the strict manner of Game Masters enforcing their
PG-13 views on most everyone. The other downside would
be the recent nerfing of several high end game classes.
I believe the recent nerfing is to better balance link removed
for the up and coming battle grounds additions soon to come.

Please don\'t spam with advertisements in the PlaneShift forum :) This post is alright (since it has been moved) as it could start a discussion on other games, but your other post was pure spam. Tsk.

WoW is just like any other MMORPG out there, incredibly boring.

I\'ll stick with Perfect Dark on the 64, thank you.

I used to play WoW.. and though it is one of the better P2P games I am glad that I left.  On the server I was on there were nearly 3 times as many alliance players as horde.  I know, if I were on a different server it would have been different.. but just too many high level alliance players raiding Horde territory and controlling places like Booty Bay :(... which overall it just ruins the experience.  I would constantly get killed at low levels by players much higher because there is no limit on what lvl you can attack like there is even in EQ.  Now when I quit the honor system was just being added... but atleast at the beginning of it nothing changed... and when it gets down to it there are too few races and classes to keep me happy :P.  Oh and I think there should be three auction houses for the horde instead of one.. that is all linked together with the same items and whatnot.. that would help all the damn lag in Ogrimmar :).

Edit: not that it was a huge deal at the time... but there is no RP there whatsoever.

Do you play Planeshift?

If so, case closed.. :baby:

I actually did play WoW however, for free (my roommate had it), it still wasn\'t worth the little time I spent on it and resembled every other game I played 5 years ago with better graphics.

The same is on the server I play but the horde are better.  I got my dwarf warrior up to 60 and hit the battlegrounds.  After getting totally wtfpwnd in almost every battleground by the horde I rolled a shammy ( yeah, I\'m cheap I know it... )...

I take it you\'ve never experienced the joy that is Lagforge, I mean Ironforge?

I was a member of the Horde on Tichondrius.

No I had the pleassure of being in Orgrimarrrrrrrrrrrr.  Yeah.. I have a pretty good comp and as soon as I would walk in or warp back there or whatever I had to wait atleast a minute waiting for everything to load :(... Everyone would stay in Orgrimmar because it had teh only auction house for us and I feel your pain about Ironforge.

Hehe we always liked to say we were better :P... but since I was playing with a friend (and there is a lack of classes I like) I was a Warrior.  Only got up to lvl 45 with him until I eventually quit.. but man it sucked getting caught out by myself :(.. yeah I got owned enough :(.. and I am too nice to never attack someone while they are engaged with a monster that I would hardly ever get kills... I even went hunting with a few alliance players here and there... cant we all just get along :P

[Edit]
  I checked out the site the OP left, it sells gold and power leveling. In WoW, Blizzard clearly states that the purchasing of anything belonging to the server Ex. Gold or Items is Illegal. As is power-leveling services.

Please read this


I have the complete Unedited image in WoW screenshot format if anyone wants to verify.

OP needs to be banned or recieve a strict warning[/color]. Im firm in my stance that Online RPG\'s need to remain pure of this sort of thing, I think it pullutes the game economy and ruins it for others when people do this

strict manner of Game Masters enforcing their
PG-13 views on most everyone.


bs,  There is no visible game masters in the game, They only moderate chat channels and Never ever say a word. They dont reprimand or warn or anything, upon violation you will recieve and e-mail and perhaps an account suspension.  Game masters can only be spoken to if you submit a tag

dont say anything unless you know its true

-Original post------------------------------------------------------------

WoW is good, but its not that much different than other MMO\'s

and the Original poster is tottaly BS\'ing.

Its not immersive, one of a kind, Nastalgic or some magical game in a sea of outdated graphics.

I Played it and liked it well, I had a 60 ally rogue and a 60 horde hunter

I just canceled my account 3 days ago because there wasnt enough content or classes to keep my happy. but it was a great mmorpg by most standards.


something tells me the OP has never played WoW, or just started, or is being payed to say so. heh
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phew im done /end rant
Grrr rawr.  bad day..  had to tear some one apart >.< thank god for the edit button

Id like to top it all off with this http://ohcameron.ytmnd.com/

WoW has a weird movement system, and I seriously can\'t see why everyone likes the graphics so much. The whole world feels unrealistic, so many bright and sparkly colours that fill up the entire screen - then again, it\'s just a matter of taste. I already didn\'t like the graphics in Warcraft III all that much.

The good thing is that it\'s very performant, easy to learn (The GUI is really concise, as in \"good layout\" andnot much on it), and I never had any performance-related lag (like in, say EQII :rolleyes: ).

About the \"selling items for real world money\": I seriously believe that ruins things for those, who already have to think twice whether to pay their account for another month.
The internet is "the terrorists'" most important weapon, they say.
Wrong.
Fear is their most important weapon.
Ours is our freedom.

:D

/me quotes himself after running to ironforge all the way from teldrassil  \"w00t lag!\"

and another thing, like pogo and others, its totaly stupid to buy items it defeats the idea of the game. finally the cost isnt really that much
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place
