I tried wow for a whole week, and couldnt tolerate it anymore, I actually felt dirty and somehow pathetic after sitting there playing that stupid game. Completely outdated graphics, and a horrible feel to it, the only reason that they have so many subs is because you can play wow on any computer, it came out 5-6 years ago, has the same graphics as it did then. ugggh
Yes, and as avid RPG players, we all know that graphics is the most important part of a game. That must be the reason why we all agree that Baldur's Gate II is such an awful game.
I played WoW for over a year, on an RP server, did a whole lot of RPing, had a couple RP guilds, loads of fun, a lot of friendship and social interaction, to see people who played it for five minutes or even never, slander it just because so many people love it. The first couple hours were bad for me too, but after that it got better and better, to the point where I'd say it's the best game I ever played. I used to play it every day, and it was the only game I played in that period, where before I'd buy a new game every two weeks otherwise in those days, so even with the monthly fees it saved me quite a bit of money. The major reason I quit was that it was just taking up way too much time.
Everyone's allowed to like a game, or dislike a game. I've heard people say that Dragon Age's graphics are absolutely horrendous, and they're entitled to that opinion. You may think WoW is bad, that is your prerogative. But the constant dragging WoW into arguments just to bash it on this - and other - forums, for no particular reason.. And then call someone else a troll. I'm really getting quite sick of that. Hate on Final Fantasy or KOTOR, at least you'll be a little more original.
I gotta agree to an extent. I've played it since almost the beginning. I watched my room mate play for a month after launch, and had to get it.
I still play WoW, and enjoy it quite a bit.
Comparing WoW and Dragon Age, other than both are epic fantasy sword and sorcery, is like comparing apples and oranges. (As is comparing any single player RPG with an MMORPG)
Yes, the taskbar layout is similar, so I can map my spells and use my numeric keypad for quick casting. Yes the mages have way more spells than you can fit on the taskbar. Yes, warriors are tanks, rogues are DPS, and they can stealth (like many other fantasy RPGs) But that is about where the similarities end.
It's ridiculous to compare the two. Almost as ridiculous as it is to expect to get something for free all the time.
I don't work my job for free (although my boss would love it if I did:crying:). I don't expect anyone else to... except, you know, other hobbyists using the toolset to make their own adventures in their off time.
In fact, again, if anyone is working on anything and wants someone to help with proofreading, editing story/dialogue text, or even voiceover work, I have (paid, professional) experience in those fields and would love to do the unthinkable and create some new fan made content.
