World of Warcraft.

Since I never played WoW, I cannot tell about all your points.

I believe you BUT. Why would they make WoW then? I mean,
storywise. If they don't make it into canon, why the hell make the game
and with Illidan killable, and the Lich King and Arthas.

That's what I do not understand.

PS: I know Illidan is killable because I read it somewhere.

Fletch, get used to it. 10 Million subscribers? I know only one game
that comes that near.....

*Beats Lens around the head with large Grammar-Hammer* ... There, that feels so much better.

Answer: Marketing + lack of new storyline. The Author is not yet finished.

Also, the game was designed to be fun, not logical or follow a certain story.

It was meant to be: "Travel the lands of Azeroth, Kalimdor, Northrend and
Outland and pwn your favorite characters from the cult franchise WARCRAFT!!!"

I'm so gonna make a statue out of you if you are right.

So basically what you are saying, is that WoW, BC and WotLK are cash-cows?
I knew Blizzard was not in the charity business, but those bastards have gone
too far! :nono:

12 mil. Dang it, when did that happen?

a month maybe, before the new expansion release.


i don't know about any shows.... WoW makes no sense (storylike) to me.

IF they are doing charity...it only because of that weird US law that frees them from taxes a certain amount of time later. The same thing Microsoft did. (talk about Bill Gates BIG heart.)

So they could actually be doing charity. Go figure, I was being ironic.

Anyways, what shows do you mean?

So i was going to get it, and waste my life again for some awesome fun, but then i remembered that pay for play was fail. But, I'll probably end up getting it before the end of the year.

dont:sleep:

i used private servers and a free trial copy of WoW to test it...played for months on what some say are illegal servers (rubbish, there's no such law) and i found out that even thou its a great game it eats your life away just like that and i couldent bare to PAY for it sucking away my time for some fun... sucking time is payment enough.

Yep, I played WoW for a bit (ok, a few months, whatever), but in the end there was nothing else to do. I quit it without regret, since the only thing I was enjoying about the game was the people I was playing with. What I didn't like: paying like 15 bucks a month; it was impossible to get good stuff, because you couldn't get that without doing hard stuff, for which you needed that gear (viscous circle here); in the end, it was taking all my time, and I wasn't spending any time with my RL friends.

THEY TOLD ME I COULD BE ANYTHING SO I BECAME A SIGNATURE PLS HLP

you had the most common symptoms. Psychologists all around the world are trying to figure out how can a game make people forget their real life. (mind that there were cases of death trough intoxication cause some games refused to go to the bathroom during a 12h raid.)


one more reason to call most psychologists idiots. 90% of them should be patients, how can someone not understand human psychology as simple as that which concerns gaming and be called Dr. or Magistrate?
Why not just compare gaming with a good book? i know sometimes i read my favorite 2k page book it was so interesting i couldn't sleep at night....just reading like crazy. Same as watching a good movie(only their duration is acceptable) Is their intelligence so limited? (ok this is profession bashing...ill go no further since its offtopic...not all of them are retards.)
