Most of my friends already know that I am not so VERY excited about WoW, but it's probably very few who know WHY. And many do not think that I have tried it at all. BUT I have, actually:) And it was far from my taste.
I was friendrequested by my then-boyfriend, and started as a night elf rouge. It was fun, until he and his friend ran away from me. So when I was alone in the world, with no idea what I should do. So I ended up killing some monsters, levle, and do quests. Levlet up to around level 7 after 2 hours or something like that. So I gave up for the day.
The next day I tried again to motivate myself to play more of this game. Did not that much better ... Levled up to between 10 and 15 somewhere. Didn't come any further, and further I'll never care to go.
It was simply boring. Gore! And the graphics are not the best either. Do not pay 60 NOK per month for a game that I can find a better free version of.
But it's not just the game that is the problem. It is what it does to people I respond to. Nothing bad against my x's or something, but he is a fine example. Mentions no name. But when he played the game he apparently forgot the world around him. Easily got more irritated than usual. And went crazy on the game sometimes. And when he wasn't on the PC, he talked of nothing else than the game. Especially when the latest update to come out; Cataclysm. Then he was not talking about anything else. He had previously been complaining that I talked a lot about Left 4 Dead, but that was nothing compared to how much he talked about that game. And when I started to complain about WoW, then I got the wave of people who began to complain about me complaining. I just spoke up and said I was tired ... Tired of all the talk about WoW, since I lived with someone who played it almost constantly. No wonder I get tired, y'know.
SO! Brief summation of what I think after trying a little:
- Poor graphics. I know it's to give the feeling of the good old Warcraft games, but ... This isn't Warcraft. It's World of Warcraft. SHOULD been some upgrades since then, in my opinion.I'm a graphics Freek.
- Costs alot, really. Because there are free games with better graphics, more anime style, which I like, so I choose those, because it suits me better. There we have Maple Story and Luna Online (which now apparently has changed its name to Luna Pluss). And I'm poor, so ... Yes ...
- Some people who playes it become... Weird ... I really don't like that part. It's okay that this is a own, big world and all that, but it is not the REAL world. Far from it. So to run to compare things in the game with things in real life is a bit wrong. And they react to people doing this and that in the game, and then rage about it, is not good. It's just a game ...
I know some will think something like, "You are the one who should talk about raging at games?", "You have not played the bulk of this game that you should write something negative, since you have not come to the best parts ", etc. I have heard the comments a hundred times already, so you do not need post them here ^ ^ I know I often rage on a game. But there are shooters. WoW is more a strategy game. You press the buttons in the correct order, and the right pace. The shooter is required responsiveness. Proper quick response as well, usually. Must be quick on the trigger, y'know ;)
But it was all I could write about this game, over to the next! :)
See ya next time, mathafackazz! <3
