Wow, really? I don't think I've ever given up after only two weeks. Do you raid or do PvP? A lot of people can barely finish leveling and doing dungeons for starter gear or get mats to craft some gear by then. It usually takes a while to get PvP gear as well. I guess if you don't really do any...

Well, for one thing, it beats the heck out of watching TV. I'd much rather do something that requires at least some action, instead of sitting around. I think gaming is a much better way to stay sharp too, rather than mindlessly absorbing television shows and commercials. I really like playing...

I don't think it's an either/or thing. I think a bit of challenge makes a game fun. I don't want super hard every second, but I don't want super easy mode either. I like to think. I like to have to try. If it's too easy, like some games have gone then I have no reason to keep playing.

When I first started playing WoW, I got a little caught up in it. Generally, I don't get so absorbed in anything, but I was new to the game and it was intense for me. I lost track of time, and I ended up being like 5 minutes late to pick up one of my kids from practice. I felt like the worst mom...

@gkillian it really depends on the people. Grown ups who work well as a team are much easier to lead, but I've dealt with all kinds. When we tried to expand our raid team from 10 to 25 man, we made the mistake of absorbing what was left of another guild. Their leader said they didn't want to...

Mine is probably the Ironbound Proto Drake. http://www.wowhead.com/item=45801/reins-of-the-ironbound-proto-drake I like the mount itself, but mostly it's the memories behind earning it (at level). I was on a raid team full of cool people, and we had so much fun getting those mounts. That whole...

Yep, and I also get a lot of other use out of my computer as well. I do some freelance work online, so a computer is a must. I can kill two birds with one stone. I think part of it is habit too. I'm just more comfortable with the PC experience. Although, I wouldn't mind hooking up to my new...

Sadly, I think you're description is pretty accurate. I have stopped paying for it, but I still miss it. I play my veteran account from time to time, when I really miss playing. Then, I remember why I stopped. They could give something back to their longtime loyal fans and host legacy servers...

Me too. It's a lot more work to keep a guild running smoothly than most people realize. It eats up a ton of time, and I definitely don't have that luxury any more. I also don't have the "drive" like you said (or even the patience, ha ha). I'm happy to help the leaders if asked on occasion as...

We started ours with a small group of friends and went from there. At the time, you needed 10 people to sign the charter. Those ten were our founding members all of whom we had played with before in another guild that had become defunct. Many other members from the old guild started showing up...

My husband and I owned a guild and later I was an officer in another. I was in charge of recruiting members and stuff. I guess I got kind of used to having a role, so when I wasn't in one, I still tended to speak up a lot or just do things that needed to be done. Doing that is how I got roped...

I used to play a lot of World of Warcraft. When I was raiding, it was 3 nights a week, for 3 hours a night. That was just the actual raids. Of course, you also have to spend time in game doing other things to be prepared, like making food, potions, gear, enchantments. You need to farm and make...

I'd like to add that with greater technological advances, many people have also become less social (at least in person). When I was a kid, the best thing about the arcade was being able to hang out with friends while also playing fun games. These days, it seems like many people would rather stay...

Yeah, I can't really think of anything cool right now. I guess the most descriptive, most accurate, would be "old school." I wish there was a better way to say that without the word "old" in there, ha ha. I love the classic version of WoW and how games like that used to be played. The newer...

It sounds interesting, and I like the Star Wars theme. My husband was just talking about this the other day. I have to wonder if it is still worth playing though. Is there much of a community left? Is there a big divide between free players and those who sub? I guess it's worth a go if you...

My daughter would give this post a standing ovation. I had to double check to make sure she didn't sneak onto my computer and write this, ha ha. She loves FF7 the most (and agrees about Lightning too). So, it looks like there is still a bit of a wait? I just saw pre-orders on Amazon for...

Wow, I'm glad I found this thread. I guess the graphics did put me off a bit, as I pictured this game being more for kids. I mean, I knew adults played too, but I just didn't think it would be for me. From reading these posts though, it sounds... fun! Actually, it sounds like it could be a lot...

I would be excited to see a remake (legacy server) for classic World of Warcraft. Some people call it Vanilla. Today's version just isn't the same game at all. They claim to have written over the code in later iterations, making the original unusable. After a private server (emulated) was...

Can you recommend any? I'd really like to find a new game to get into. I've seen a couple that sound good, but a lot of them seem to be kind of dead these days. Are there some good ones that are still popular enough to find other people to play with? I hate being a newb at a game, but it's...

Put them together and what have you got? MMORPG, my favorite. I'm an old WoW player as well. I never had so much fun as I did in the earlier days of this game. I think it ruined me for other stuff, ha ha. I play a few console games, but mostly just to do something with my kids or my husband...
