You mean the kind of situations you force people in when you lie?
The design is sort of okay-looking but that won't make me like this show!

I didn't say all of the content is mind-numbingly easy, try reading 😛 I said most of it is. And you even agreed with that!WoW is the reason why the entire MMO genre has stagnated like hell for so long.
You said 'most content,' but then almost immediately said 'anything.' I wasn't quite sure what to make of that, but I wouldn't be shocked if my reading comprehension failed me.
Yeah, I agree with that... to some extent. There's still pre-Cata content worth doing: there are fun instances and quest chains worth and fun doing even if they've become too easy and transient. Cata also revitalized quite a bit of the old-world content, but I can't say I care that much for it. Hell, I actually support the idea that if you have an 85lvl character, you should be given an option to make new characters that start at a much higher lvl than 1(Death Knight style, basically) so you can avoid at least some of the content that you've already seen and done when making an alt.
I also remember you saying "you have every skill you have available to you at any point in time you don't have to actually think about or plan anything." It's just not true that you have every skill available to you at any point in time, not even at lvl85. About planning: some classes/builds have to do more planning than others, but it's true that you probably won't be doing much of it unless you're trying to do a group/elite quest by your lonesome or something like that. Planning and timing can be pretty important in that case. That's of course excluding instances and PvP.
EDIT: Nemesis, I saw it too. Oh yes, oh yes...
EDIT 2: I'm not sure what to think about WoW screwing the MMO genre. I could as well say that WoW showed everyone that an MMO can be so much more than just a niche game and become a massive commercial success. Of course it can also be said that it inspired other devs to make WoW clones and made life more difficult for different kinds of MMOs.

I watched every episode of MLP. I hated some of them. I liked most of them.It's alright for a kid's show. It's much better than I expected MLP to be.
Also, Rainbow Dash is amazing, and the ponies are likable. I can say this without feeling my masculinity threatened. estahuh

From the sound of that reply, EA, Guild Wars 2 will enthrall you.

See, I don't see leveling up as an accomplishment at all - just a waste of my time. What's the bigger accomplishment is finding the right set of skills that work together nicely, or completing elite areas, or finishing stuff in hard mode...because just because you can try those things once you hit level 20, doesn't mean you'll be any good or succeed 😛 Guild Wars is more about playing the story, not grind.I just think WoW is a terrible game in every way, myself. It's so godawful boring.
And even there, with the higher level cap, leveling isn't terribly important, you get access to dungeons like halfway leveled up, and there's no xp curve as you gain levels 😊
Well I guess I get sucked into the World of Warcraft. Which is probably odd in that I don’t RP in it, but I digress. When I’m doing quests and playing through the various characters stories, some of which I know from previous encounters, games or books. I love how intricately all the little paths cross and weave together and become the events that take place. I wuve it =3
I feel warcraft is about what you want it to be. You can become a warlord/marshal and conquer the enemies of the horde/alliance for nothing other than the sake of victory. Raiding and defeating the various threats to both the horde/alliance and the world. Or you can just do your own thing. There are things that feel like grinding but that’s not what it’s about, at least not to me. Grinding is sometimes necessary just to give yourself the best advantage gear wise for a task you might particularly enjoy =)
And finally I feel that Warcraft is both simple and also rewards skill in a way I thoroughly enjoy. For example
It is a simple question of perseverance to get to level 85. If one knows how, the killing of elites/group-quests can yield significant advantages for any player.
PvE healing is a simple question of whack-a-mole with green health bars instead. However skill at this allows groups to do heroic modes or push through an encounter if some other healers screws up and dies crippling the group in the process.
PvP should be kinda obvious.
The many more skills and cool downs you have access to I feel allows a much greater level of control you have over your own ‘destiny’ in each scenario as opposed to just have 8 (is it 8? It’s been awhile) skills and being more dependant on your group covering your weaknesses/blind spots.
For all these reasons and more, Warcraft has just broken the roof off the mmo world for me. Playing GW now is just like playing in a cage =s
The new features they are bringing out in Mists of Pandaria already seem like they are going to trash what little competition WoW has left for me.

GW2 is looking to be the best mmorpg of the next few years, easily. It shits all over TOR and DC Online, sure as sure.
If I had a nickel for every game that’s claimed to be that…. I’d have about a quarter!
Honestly, I doubt any game for the foreseeable future has a chance of knocking Warcraft from #1

If you wanna play City of Heroes sometime I'll start a new character with you.
Well I can’t afford to set up a subscription atm. Christmas wipes out my bank without fail every year.
Plus there’s often the problem most of you guys will be on the US servers. I’m from the UK =( 4 games out of 5 I can’t play with you.
I can’t even kick FinalAnswer’s booty at Starcraft =(

Naw the comic had 2 or three volumes before the game game out. the game made it reenter the public mind and resurface in two different forms. The original Darkness comic continuation, and one that has the game version of jackie and his world in it.

Well the game has a free play option and I forget if I have another slot token but if I do I'll play on the UK server... I think it's called Union.
I don't play on tuesdays because that's my Melee/Blazblue night.
I only have my free account active right now but I plan on re subbing on my main account soonish.
