Does anyone still play it? Was thinking about installing it for a few hours of mindless fun.

I have it installed, but i dont play it often, i got a 60 day GTC a month ago to just have something to do, i play it now and again, its quite enjoyable, but tbh im too lazy to load it up, so i just play CS.

World of Warcraft is a very unique game.
As unique as having your testicles shredded and fed to you.

I gave up when I realised it was no fun grinding 40 man instances over and over for 3-6 hours at a time to get the equipment needed to fight fair against f4gs with 100x more time than me.

Plus ridiculous reputation grinding is NOT single player content, it's distilled tedium.

fakt.

It wasn't long after I stopped playing that I developed a pure hatred for the game and what I went through playing it, pretending to myself that I was actually having fun.
Because I wasn't, but I would have been just over that hill I was climbing.

It's THE MMO nowdays, and that makes me sad. The chances of the entire industry recovering from WoW are slim, there will never be another game that doesn't take ideas and impressions from it. After all it will make them money, it worked for Blizzard.
But the only problem is they will compete with like-minded ideas against WoW and lose because of it's now entrenched position in the mind of gamers.

You can't go anywhere on the internet without finding a large quantity of the people there play WoW religiously.
I keep my eyes on the gaming industry in an inhuman manner, WoW fever has spread to every facet, to every forum, like some kind of viralant disease, it devours the human soul in exchange for sugar coated poisons.

Try it yourself, think of any new game release coming up and go check out their forum, I assure you, you'll find references to WoW in the craziest of places. It could be a world war 2 historical recreation and you'd still have CUMIKAZI-TAURON suggesting the whole game would be better if it had steam powered dwarven catapults.
Or at least telling the world that while he's waiting for this game to come out he's going to KILL ONYXLIA AGAIN WITH HIS GUILD LOL.
Then you will get the obligatory replies, stating how someone else has KILLED ONYXLIAG IN 12.8 MINUTES.

If I ever become proud that I can repeat the same experience 800 times until I am the supreme master of repatative gaming, please, find my muscle wastage ridden body and suffocate me with the pillow covered in festering crisp crumbs laying next to me.

BTW I don't like WoW. :(

Agreed that there will be games like these, and they will fail, but sooner or later people will realize why they fail.

I read a recent interview with Richard Garriot (calix's god), and he said that WoW was the pinnacle of 2nd age MMOs, and with it ruling the market, no other 2nd age MMO can really compete. So the next stuff that will come along is a developed 3rd age MMO with new stuff.

Ofcourse he was promoting his own product, Tabula Rasa, but it made sense in that way that basically the format for MMOs that has been used so far, and ultimated in WoW has been 'used up' and it's time for something new.

So, guess I'm not as sceptic as you ;)
