WoW the Next "Golf"?
TheGrapeApe writes "1up has an article about the possibility of World of Warcraft becoming the next "Golf": A place where friends, acquaintances, and perhaps even business partners will meet up to "talk shop" and swap stories. Personally, I can't wait until I have my next job interview in the Deadmines. " I demand extra healing and mana pots from all my employees.
I really dont understand how so many people can still play WoW.
IMHO, WoW is the McDonalds of MMO's. A lot of people like it at first, but play it enough and you get fed up.
I was sitting at the back of a funeral in a church a few months ago, and I heard three guys a few rows infront of me talking about how to kill magmadar in Molten Core.
I went home, cancelled my account, uninstalled the game and will never ever install it again.
I was getting tired of it even before that incident, that just pushed me to finally cancelling my account after playing the game for six months.
If you like WoW and its your first MMO, go try out some other ones, there are many that are much better than WoW!
Seriously Taco, all your stories are references to WoW.
It's not a good game. It's insanely popular because so many people who have never played one of these games got into it because it's a blizzard game
The classes stink, the balance is off and the general setup is carebear garbage.
Some of the dungeons were OK but overall it's a game that has you doing a lot of mundane things to get crappy items.
Please stop posting these stories. It's not "news for nerds" as it's news for lusers because any real nerd has better things to do and better games to play than WoW.
It's not "stuff that matters" because it doesn't matter.
This game is a waste of time. Mainly because of the users in it. May, many, many morons and twits. It's what you expect though, being as large as it is.
Lets just say I stopped playing this game after a month when I found at level 45 I could dominate most of my competition and in multiples, usually of higher level. This was due to hvaing a poor community of gamers and of being able to easily put together great PvP characters which apparently many people couldn't figure out. Also, you could win fights with algorithms so that took challenge out. If me and a few friends were together we could take out groups of 10. This is pathetic. Most people just start running, etc. there is next to no competition in this game.
Luckily DOTA is available for people that actually enjoy playing a game in their games. It's also free. Oddly it's modded off of WC3. Also leveling is for lusers.

Why is it so many people incorrectly equate RP with Shakespearian old English?
Ren-fests.
Any other questions?
(By the way, what's "incorrect" about it? Everybody looks like people living in the 16th Century, most of the non-magical technology and architecture is from that time period, most of the mystical creatures resemble folklore of medieval Europe... why not talk like you're from that sort of time and place?)
