Shortie Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 World of Warcraft has been a game that has been going for many years and still even now, to this day it is a very popular game played by many. I myself used to play it years ago but because I got so addicted to it, I ended up stopping playing and have resisted the urge to go back to it, even though many have tried to encourage me to do so. I also resist the urge due to the fee you have to pay to play it as well and with my current schedule, I am not sure I would play it enough to justify it. Do you still play World of Warcraft?

Empire Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Ultima Online still exists. It is still being developed, and people still pay to play it. Similarly, WoW will still exist off the forever loyal crowd it has. But me, Not wllingly, but the fantasy rpg genre has nothing good in it currently, ESPECIALLY mmorpgs. I find myself occasioanly limping back to ye olde at-least-they-tried Shortie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I remember playing WoW years ago, back when they only gave you like a 72 hour free trial (before they changed it to the level cap now). It was a fun game, but I never had any friends who were deeply into it which you kind of need to do a lot of aspects (and the $10/mo was pricey back in the day compared to other game's membership costs that were/are $5/mo).

Smokey Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 My buddy Matt has sucked me back into it.....I'm below level 20 on my current character so I can play for free for a bit. I played a little bit this morning before they did maintenance and I was promptly disconnected 😛 Might try to play more tomorrow or later tonight, we'll see 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I haven't played it since about 2010 and I don't think I'll ever look back either with how Activision has been treating it. The game has incredible lore but Activision have turned it into a massive cash-grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I've never actually played WoW before. I always put it off because my friends made fun of it, or I always thought it would make me look bad if I played it. Blame it on the dumb crowd I hung out with. Either way, I think I never bothered to play it, because I knew it would be too much for me. Much like other games in the genre, I'm not good with it. Plus I felt like I would need to ask for a lot of help online, and I don't like asking other gamers for help haha. Weird I know. Shortie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah - it's a huge cashgrab nowadays so I wouldn't recommend going anywhere near it. They always release powerful classes only to nerf them so that people will spend on the new classes that are going to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too sometimes feel that way about playing new games that I will be made fun of for it if I don't know how to play or what I am doing. I think because so many people judge before knowing you and that you are new to the game, it will always be something that is in the back of your mind. I try to think past all that and think to myself, if I am having fun whilst learning then I should just play. It's difficult to get past the mind set though.
