Seriously, I don't get it. The Lore is completely different. This just rekindled my dying addiction to fantasy...I've been trying to stave off a WoW addiction, so I never started it..(i actually bought the whole game + Wotlk twice, but sold it twice for like 50bucsk cheaper).

[Muse011]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Viglin]

Um...do you like the game or not?

[th3warr1or]

Damn right I do. I'm just in desperate of a Fantasy game that doesn't end until you want it to. Problem with WoW is it never ends even when you want it to.

Basically Dragon Age has left me hanging.. cause I can't continue after. 9 playthroughs is too much I think.

Don't do it! I played WoW starting at release. I would get bored with it and quit every so often, but then after a couple of months, something would always make me go back. Once I did, I regretted it, every time. I've now been away for 9 months, and no longer have any desire to go back to it. Just stay away from WoW for long enough, and eventually you'll probably get rid of your addiction too.

[BickBickBick]

I had the opposite reaction... this game made me quit WoW... it's just.... better... I like the lore better, the gameplay better, and it's nice to remain in game and not have to deal with or listen to the idiots that populate every WoW server...

May I recommend some fantasy RPG,



NWN & Expansions

NWN2, Expansion MotB almost a must play

The Witcher



Sure others will have more good RPG that you can play too!

LOL ld say youve done your part for the Wardens and deserve a break.

Ive got one playthrough under my belt, and about 7 other Wardens from lvls 7-16 wandering the country...not wanting to finish:)

[themaxzero]

Play both.



Cutting of heads in DAO is just as enjoyable as cutting of Alliance heads in WG. Especially when its your 20th successful defense in a row and they haven't seen VoA in a week.

WoW is crap for 5 yo. If you like this game you will not be happy with WoW. Its not even alike.
The only MMO that got me really hooked in last few years was TCoS. If you want more "mature" content you can try AoC. Heck, even LotRO is better game than WoW.

WoW was good originally, I think. It wasn't really until the second Christmas it was out that it really started getting bad (the first Christmas was only a month after release, so it wasn't that big yet). When Christmas came, there was an obvious influx of young players who had gotten it as a present from their parents who thought it was appropriate for an 11 year old. Since then, Blizzard has basically been catering to the 11 year old.

I adored The Witcher!



And of course, see if you can find Baldur's Gate I and II plus expansions. Planescape: Torment also, one of the best all time CRPGs I have ever played.

^this is awesome.

I enjoyed WoW and some of the best closed episodes I had were the Alterac Valley weekends way before the first expansion - one game could go on for 20+ hours. You could leave and go to bed, and come back and get in an it'd be the same game. Although it was looong it would eventually come to an end. 

Which brings my to my thoughs on your comment: If there was a concept I'd like to see in MMOs it's that of the "Campaign". It seems standard fare of pen and paper RPGs, so why not MMOs?

While not RPGs, the Warcraft games expand the (ahem) world of Warcraft.

I don't know, I've always wondered why MMOs had more replayability value than single player RPGs..

And it's not because of the community. During my 7years of RuneScape, I didn't even talk to anyone for the most part..

I am happy with WoW.
I am 23, not 5.
I play in a guild in which almost everyone is 18+.

You should probably stop generalizing.

This game helped my friend kick his WoW addiction. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I guess you know better then. I only started playing it with TBC and ended a bit before WoTLK. It is not bad at the start really, but once you get a grip of the game and get in contact with other players more..... ugh.
Besides it is absolutely nothing like DA:O, WoW has completely different atmosphere and feeling to it.

Actually the MMO that reminds me most of DA:O is AoC - it has its problems and failures but the general atmosphere in the game is very much alike.

So I am generalizing when I say WoW is not only available but tuned for children too? I am generalizing if I say I knew 7 yo playing WoW and finding it smooth and easy? I am generalizing if I say that overall graphics and design in WoW is more appropriate to someone who loves shiny baubles than someone who likes reality?

It is good for you that you are happy with WoW. I can be happy playing with Barbie dolls too, what doesnt change the fact they are made for 5 yo as well.

Why don't you work on giving yourself realistic limitations, and sticking to them. Instead of trying to avoid something you think you're absolutely helpless to.



WoW isn't the most addictive game ever. I've been playing off and on for three years. I pick up when I want to, and leave off whenever I need to. That's the awesome thing about it. It doesn't end unless you want it to, yes(which I guess is what hooks people, people want closure and completion)... but that can be at absolutely any time in the game. The first time I played wow, I played for a month, got to level 20 then didn't play for a 6 months. As long as your goal starting isn't to reach the level cap and get best in slot gear, it shouldn't be such a problem.

[grevinilvic]

wow is very boaring after a month of playing , their is no story line to play out . its just leveling guys , so if you love grinding to lvl 80 go for it ill wait for more dao dlc , mass effect 2 and star wars .

Well to be fair classifying anything that isn't a 100% figure is generalization, so yes on all counts I guess.

Troll spotted. Spray the zone, move along.



Nothing new to see.



And btw, if you are going to reply back at me with "HAH, YOU ARE JUST A BIOWARE FANGIRL" Then yes, maybe i might be one. But i speak with the knowledge i have from playing WoW for 5 years. You just can't compare a RPG with a MMO.



The whole WoW vs. <insert game here> is getting old.



But anyways, here is what i think:



WoW is an "open" world, you can interact with other people and even when you are doing the same thing over and over it gives you the feeling that it is different because you are not playing with a party of NPC's. There is storyline, and I like WoW lore, but you can't get into the storyline and manipulate it to your own will as you can do in Dragon Age.



Dragon Age it's a set story, with its begining and end. While in Dragon Age YOU are the story, in WoW you are an observer.



It's a matter of choice, really.
