First of all do you understand how epic and huge a MMORPG is ? Its in a sense an alternate world were you build a character from scratch and do everything from quests, to crafting to killing other players, all while on servers with THOUSANDS of people at the same time.



There is just something 'fucking cool' about running around in the middle of nowhere doing a quest to look over and see some other guy out there and say, hey.. 'team' ? Then go about kicking the shit ouf of creatures with this random guy you met.



MMORPGs are the future no doubt. The immersion is unmatched ... no other type of game can even compete on this level of gaming experience. I was never a MMORPG guy and thought people who paid to play a game online were idiots, but then again I was just an ignorant sheep myself.



Once I tried out MMORPGs (City of Heroes my first), I fell in love with the much much more mature gaming envirionment. Not only does your money pay for a seemingly unlimited universe, maintenance, but the selling point for me is the mature environment. I no longer have to deal with loud squeeky, hacking infested 20 person servers, which by the way is fucking old news.



If you like RPGs, and you like the Warcraft series, you will no doubt enjoy WoW. The game is so ready for release its not even funny. Most MMORPGs take a few months of updating to get going.. WoW does not. Everything is so well balanced and put together you only miss out on a great gaming experience by not buying it.



Sadly there are people on these forums who refuse to pay to play and will inturn miss out on one of the best games to date. And one day, these folks will try a MMORPG (like I did) and wonder why in the world they never tried it earier. Their loss... I say go for it!
