[QUOTE=''paullywog'']read the entries at www.wowdetox.com then decide[/QUOTE] that was actually kind of creepy
I suggest you choose a Hunter as your first class, very simple to be OK at, but hard to master, they are easy to level and make money with.More people are Alliance than Horde, so you will have an easier time getting groups on Alliance, aswell as them having a better economy.
I dont plan to be playing it 24/7 I do have a social its just going to be one of those games i enjoy not one of those games that take over my life.P.S what race should i go i was thingking of going night elves.
wowdetox.com was pretty disturbing...Anyway, warriors are the best when it comes to PvP, given that they have amazing strength. I went warrior and I had a good time before I quit.
It really comes down to your own personal opinion , and the server you will be playing on. But i would have to say Hunters are pretty easy to level , but you might regret it at a higher level as there is often a lot of them and their uses in raids aren't that great.

It's not the game's fault.....everything should be exercised in moderation, and it was pretty retarded to throw that Hyperlink in the mix. A: not everyone is retarded enough to spend all their lives on a game. B: As I said before, as with everything in life it has to be taken in moderation. GG

GG[/QUOTE]I agree for them most part except for end game raiding. You had to have no life if you wanted any gear from the dungeons period. Thats what made me ultimately quit. To get back on topic I reccommend WoW. It's pvp system is easily the best out of all MMO's. Its quiet deep so theres a lot to learn. But don't get it for high end raiding.. You'll meet some of the worst human beings on earth and the loot system, DKP, is atrocious.
Its worth getting if you don't turn out into one of those people. Just realize its a huge grind, and Blizzard has another expansion coming out making all peoples hard work to upgrade their gear from 60 to 70, another huge chore to go from 70 to level 80.Its painful to think of it, not sure how people can stick it out like they do. You know, I think I would still go back to WOW for a month or two if they remade all the graphics, but only if they that. I can't see the same old thing anymore.Bottom line, don't get addicted. If you get addicted to things easily, just pass on it.
Sure, it's worth it. If you've got a soul to spare, that is.





:D

I would wait for age of conan or warhammer online.
it totaly depends on you .... if you consider that your life is worth 15$ a month, go ahead and enchain yourself with that game
I'd say go for it. Its 'addictive' qualities are just the same as alcohol or minor drugs. If you drink but you never drink too much, and you never get addicted to it, or become an alcoholic, or you dont drink at all, then its easy to not become obsessed with WoW. Its a great game, and when you hit the level cap PvP is like playing a fast paced first-person shooter online. It also puts you in great scenarios. Easily worth a buy. And its so pathetic reading those stupid comments. Its like saying everyone who smokes weed is a stoner, or anyone who drinks is an alcoholic. Sad that those kids cant get control of their lives and decide to whine about it instead.Its also pathetic watching people delete their level 70 characters because they are too weak to not go back. Because trashing a level 70 character to help you quit will make you feel sooo much better than just taking the game off of your hard-drive...riiight.Sorry I just hate how dramatic people are with this WoW obsession thing,
No, its not worth it anymore. You can level fine. But once you get to 70, everyone is leet speaking 12 year olds. Most of the adults have moved on it seems. Or moved to RP servers in a desparate attempt to escape the kids.
Rule Number 1 before starting WoW:



Choose the class and professions that YOU think are interesting.

-DONT pick a class because people say it's powerful, it may also be boring. Pick the one that you think you'll have lots of fun with.

-DONT pick a class because people say it's fun. Their opinion of ''fun'' might be different from yours. Maybe you like to shoot people from 40 yards away, maybe they like to stab people in the back when they're low on health.

-DONT pick professions that other people will say are ''good only at level 70'' or anything like that. Thats the mistake I did and i've had to change both my professions to something interesting. Even if your 2 jobs are only fun at low levels thats not a problem at all. If at level 70 you decide you want to switch jobs, you can do that in just a few hours. Jobs can be changed, classes CANT so you need to focus more on your Class selection. Although everyone HIGHLY recommends you pick a gathering profession as your 2nd job so you can make lots of money.

-Leveling up is VERY VERY different from Level 70. Lots of people are saying bad things about the game because of [Insert Excuse Here] at Level 70. There's a good chance you'll absolutely LOVE levels 1-69 and hate 70. If so, you STILL got your money's worth and its worth paying money for that experience.



One more thing, before ANYONE decides to buy World of Warcraft you need to do 2 things:

1. Go to www.WorldofWarcraft.com and check out all the game information on the left side. It has pretty much all the information about the game you need to get started so read everything. If you are REALLY interested in the game, continue to #2. If you still arent convinced, don't bother playing the game. period.

2. If you finally decided ''OK I WANNA PLAY THIS GAME ALREADY'' go ahead and download the 14-day trial and have fun.
yes it is. you should buy it. it is a great game...
Its very overated.

I also would like to start my WOW trip, and I think I will choose Hunter on Alliance, excited at its quick level up and smart.
