Supposedly it gets better at higher levels.

I played the trial and on some private servers for a couple weeks then stopped. Not my game apparently.

EDIT: Wow so many typos, sorry about that, late day...

I sometimes play via localhost with a few other guys. I refuse to pay.

Played it for about 2 years, WoW's great fun if you manage not to get completely sucked into it. You can meet amazing people out there and have a lot of good times, then again, you also meet a lot of noobs and bad people. Though to be honest, sad to say but the community there I had is much more mature than disco.

Suppose it's like that everywhere. And, ok ryeguy? I fail to see the point.

If anyone wants to join me some time, just PM me. I'm running at a version of TBC since I couldn't find a later localhost server runner. Right now just looking around, checking things out.

Same here. It's funny to me that people are railing about "what that game can do to people" considering the following:

1: Discovery's main server has way fewer people than a WoW server, but I've heard almost as many "this game took over my life" stories from here as I have from people who play WoW.

2: Most people don't write detailed biographies and elaborate stories involving their WoW characters.

3: I can't speak for everyone but I've spent the better part of a day doing nothing but playing Freelancer once or twice, whereas after 3 hours of WoW I'm ready to set fire to my computer.


Now, I'm not saying it's bad if computer games are your passion. Far from it, there are much worse things to be passionate about. I'm saying it's bad to blame WoW when 10 years ago these people would have been playing everquest, or 10 years before that they would have been obsessively talking to people over a BBS/playing a multi user dungeon.

That, and looking down on people for playing their medieval RPG while you play your space RPG is an awesome example of the pot calling the kettle black.

Aren't we looking down on them in a very literal manner?

"Hah hah! Look an the little people down there! Playing with there magic, they can't even make one lowsy space ship!"

Sure, but then you get into all kinds of semantics. When underneath a planet, surely the people on the surface can look up at you but can you look down at them? Without things like orbit it's hard to say when the planet's gravity becomes your gravity. Personally I think you're each looking up at the other.
