World of Warcraft /rpg

[Sephirah]

Yeah, I'm playing that. The nice part, for those who don't like to commit to grouping with ppl all the time is that a lot of the content is soloable, and groups are often open, which means you can just jump in, do what you want to do, then jump out. So it's as social as you want it to be.

That suits me, lol. I quite like the idea of being a follower of the Chaos god Slaanesh. Better makeup, lots of leather... whips... mmm... *daydreams* Uh... I mean, yeah, might be a giggle.

Everquest 2 is much better.

Liessss and slander.

My ex (who actually got me into WoW) tried first to get me into EQ/EQ2. I just didn't care for the graphics and that's a huge reason why I love WoW. I really like the cartoony characters and the scenery is just gorgeous.

I really liked TBC but yes Northrend is lots of fun. Death Knights rock. They made retadins way too easy to play though, but it's fun to run around cutting through everything like a hot knife through butter

[Vexing]

Agreed.
The EQ graphics were too damned serious - not enough candy.

[Miniar]

I played WoW for a couple years... then I realized.... I was paying Blizzard for giving me a second full time job... and I stopped.

I'm downloading the COH/V 14 day trial as we speak though, so I might play that

[Vexing]

I prefer CoV over Heroes, but both are pretty cool.
I found it ultimately lacked depth. I felt I was just leveling to get costume slots.

I was a hard-core WoWer for 4 years, and it was one of few bright spots in a run of depressing, sick years. But I finally hit a saturation point, between having a computer that's not really strong enough for Lich King (and that I can't afford to upgrade/replace right now, and...I'll pull the rest of this parenthetical digression into its own paragraph below) and feeling like I'd assimilated a few too many rules revisions. I'm back to focusing on tabletop RPGs online with select friends.

The rest of that parenthetical: I don't have a lot of money. My needs are well provided for, I don't lack for anything essential to my well-being, but I have to be careful with choosing luxuries. (Particularly with now saving for upcoming transition costs.) The computer I have works great for my work (which is writing), and for my net uses, and music, and videos, and all that stuff, and I am very satisfied with it. I dropped WoW partly because it was making me unhappy with my computer, and I don't want to be unhappy with a unit that works so well for me for everything else.

I'll enjoy some MMO again when I can sensibly afford a machine that's current for whenever it, I'm sure. And in the meantime I'm very grateful for the excitement and escape that WoW provided me.

I still play some, although my account is set to expire on the 20th of this month and I don't plan on renewing it for awhile. I got a 75 priest and of course an 80 Death Knight but after getting my Death Knight to 80 the game kinda started losing some of its appeal. Mostly I got sick of the degrading support and the fact that with every new patch I had to completely redo every stinking addon. I probably wont completely abandon the game but I do need to put it on hold for a bit. Life has thrown me another curve ball so I need to focus on this new issue first.

the curse.com auto updater is a godsend for mods

i love warcfaft and always will i have played alone for years and with peoples just as long and i never get bored. Blizz often add new content as well and the new dungeons are awesome but i really enjoy hanging with my special friend and doing the lower one too.

It good to be Horde

It good to be Horde

AHHHHHH nooooooo! not a hordie!!!

OK so its not that bad   I went alliance, still not sure why. I guess cause the only pretty Horde class is the Belf but I have been tempted many times so switch sides because of all the cry babies in BG ally side. But then I think of all the work I put into building our guild web site and I just hate to think of it all being for nothing... I'm so vain. Some day I might get over myself.

Awww Cami
we all make mistake in life is learning from it that counts actually i play both side, i play mostly horde on a pvp server as that is my biggest love but i recently started on a normal server with someone and although i am trying to get the courage to play my elfkin i will at sometime or just start a DK there and skip that leveling

wow you have a guild too i only join them and have never tried the run one, i am hoping to be in 2 girl guild some point but that will only be me and close person playing to share resources like guild bank ect and some identity ofc.

s/salute Cami

[Ellieka]

It's actually Emmes guild I'm just her side kick with the web skillz, lol

I'd be happy to level another DK on  another realm with ya

[Feever]

I have played WoW for years.  I have several level 80's, and some 70's all alliance, all female.

I am not currently palying as I am on a lengthy business trip, and my laptop wont handle the graphics.  But when I get back home in a few weeks, I think I might reopen my account and transfer one of my characters to another server where a close friend of mine is.

Like someone mentioned before, I used WoW as a coping mechanism.  I realize that now, when I have been WoW-less for a bit over a month.  But that month has been good, because I have started reaching out, instead of holding it in.

[Sephirah]

It's not too bad. But I have the PvP skills of a three day old, slightly smelly halibut. That's been blindfolded and left in the dark. With cheesy Europop blasting out at full volume from a stereo where the bass is slightly too high.

So... yeah. Other than that, no comment.

Lol, so I take it we should go easy on you.

[Sephirah]

Nah, you don't need to do that.

I've grown quite fond of graveyards. And the spirit healers and I are developing quite a rapport. Next time I even promised to bake a cake and throw a tea party, lol.

[kesenaie]

Yay, a WoW thread ^^

I have a level 80 blood elf paladin and a level 75 belf warlock, both on Darkmoon Faire... I love WoW... but I disagree with the people saying it's just a game ment for people to get addicted to.. I don't play it for hours on end. I just pop on, roleplay a bit and log off to study or do something else. I do this and still have a decent amount of epics on my pally ^^

Naxx is boring though... but Flame Leviathan in Ulduar is very interesting. I also hope patch 3.2 is coming soon! New skins for druids

[Melissa Ryan]

I also confess to the addiction. I lived my life through it for a couple of years. I was social more than anything. I made a lot of friends who know me now in real life, one girl is coming to stay with us in early August. I havnt played in a couple of months though and was thinking of getting rid of the account. I have a couple of 80's and a 75 with a salt and pepper of others. Three guilds and a lot of friends. I have found a need to get out in life now though. I wish it was worth money...Such is life.

I played mmorpgs when my friends introduced me, and when I made new friends in High School and they all played WoW, I shifted over to it, and yes it is very addictive, me and all my friends would play all day long almost every day (Quit just last week).  But while I do regret playing so much of it, it did help me realize with much more confidence that I was TG, cause I was always making female characters, just feeling more comfortable with female toons (My friends thought it was a bit weird but they didn't say much about it). Soon it became more obvious to me. 

[John]

When I played my female characters, I made sure to always tell my guild and people ingame I saw a lot that I was a male in real life, but when I was just grouping for a quest with someone I may only see once, I didn't bother, and when the group refered to me as "she" or "her" I felt really good inside.
One time as a joke my friend and I joined a new guild and he just blurted out "I LOOOOVE YOU" when I joined the guild, (we liked joking around like that even IRL) and I said "I LOVE YOU TOO" and he had the crazy idea of passing me off as a girl to the guild.  To hide my big secret I backed away from the idea a bit, but did indeed go through with it.  He made sure to pass himself off as my BF so no one would try to hook up with me.  The guild soon took a liking to both of us, as we were both attention whores we couldn't really log on without getting attention somehow.  It felt really good to be treated like a girl.
