Dipping the toe (Anonymous)
I've played a few online games, but the murky, slightly (!) geeky and obsessive world of the MMORPG has evaded me. But now I find myself in the position of seriously considering World of Warcraft. It could provide an accessible introduction to this, the scariest of gaming genres in the world. I'm hoping it's going to provide something a bit different from Halo 2, something a bit more civilised and laid-back. The fact that the European servers are separated from the US one, thus removing *that* problem from the game is a plus-point. My only worry is the old "spending hours chopping trees down to build your strength" image of MMORPG's in my head, that and the monthly charge, but I'm going to try it.
It's only available in French here, so I'll have to wait. But I'm looking forward to it.
Oh, and I might join a "guilg". How exciting!

Ignoring the typically ANTI-AMERICAN bias from The Gay Parisian (FREEDOM FRIES 4 EVAH!), I have to confess I am temtped by WoW too.
But then I think about how often I play Halo 2 online, and how often I am pwn3d by those damned gaming hermits, and I doubt it will be any different with WoW.
But if I was still prepared to put in serious time into gaming, I'd probably buy it tomorrow.
