I quit soon after hitting lvl 70 in TBC, it seemed at that point the only way up was to invest a crap load of time doing video game \"chores.\" I thought it was a fun game before that though.
I know many say that level cap is where the game starts, *shrug* maybe if you have an insane amount of free time.

I am really really new to wow. I've constantly put off playing it because all my friends just become addicted to it though. I finally gave into it about 2 weeks ago. and i am finding the story more involving than any other aspect of it, Theres a lot of level crazy people out there, but i'm just enjoying the story line, its slow paced and not as addictive as i thought it would be..

The level cap IS where these games start - You're cheating yourself if you don't play past it and at least give endgame a chance. Levelling is the chore - once you get past that you can have fun. I'm a certified Alt-a-holic, so I know whereof I speak.
As for it taking a long time to hit max - last I checked if you kept at it you could hit 70 in about 12 days played. For a casual gamer that could take some time, and then there's the new level cap of 80 to hit. <Shrug> Once you know the quests levelling is a lot faster.
and for the guy who said he didn't see the addictive qualities - you may be one of the lucky ones, my friend. Uninstall now before you get hooked!

I've always been an FFXI fan, although I don't have as much time to play it now as I once did.
I've played WoW too, my account is currently inactive, quit last year @ lvl 67, then picked it up a bit back at the end of the summer to hit 70 (and get a flying mount!), I had fun playing to 70, but I've never enjoyed the raiding/instance dungeons, so to me 70 was boring.
I did enjoy the trip there, it is a fun game to pick up and play and drop on a hat. I'll probably eventually pick up Wrath and slooooooowly play to 80 one day, probably next year after the initial hype is over.

Hehe Merlin true Dat! When I played D1 on Lan is when I got hooked and started upgrading the 386SX. I had a 256K video card and then went VESA 2MB, no sound card to Sound Blaster 16,(played D1 no sound and in the tiny window in order to run the game), 1 mb Ram to 8 MB, and found some cache ram from another MB to pop into the blank slots. Then modem-modem multiplayer meant I had to upgrade from 2400 baud to 33.6k.
Of course when Pentium MMX hit I had to upgrade again...

I got my 1st PC because of 2 games I was hooked on: Betrayal at Krondor and Descent 1. It was a 486DX2 66MHz, Math Co-Processor, 4MB RAM, 2MB Video 28.8K Fax Modem Packard Bell p1mping Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. I loved that little PC. I think I still have it buried in a closet somewhere.
I used that thing forever went from Windows 3.11 to Win95 then Win 98. Think I had it up to 32MB RAM before finally upgrading to a Pentium II 233MHz, 256MB RAM, 32 MB Rage3D system I built, my 1st PC I ever built on my own. I got that one to play Descent 3!
Had to upgrade the 3D card soon after because that little 3D card choaked on D3. Ended up getting a Voodoo Banshee card.
Those were the days...
I drooled over the specs of your system, couldn't afford it at the time though hence the SX without the co-processor, (stood for sux in my books). Did the 3dfx thing too. Actually with a 266 MMX 48 megs of ram, (glitch with mobo)and a Voodoo 2 card Descent one and two runs very smoothly @ 60HZ. I bumped up the ram and made a bat file to run D2 in RamDrive... what a dream as it would and load and run in seconds.
Re:
Yeah! when half life game out, i played that game like crazy, and then when CS came out for it, I spent all my free time on it, I have never been addicted to anything more than CS...CDN_Merlin wrote:People complaining that WOW is addicting. What about what Descent 1 and 2 were out? I'd spend 99% of my free time playing.
