so i finished downloading world of warcraft on wednesday night at like 1am and i could hardly goto sleep without playing it so i suffered through the hour long (!) install and played it until 4 in the morning. rinse and repeat for the next four days and that was basically my weekend, work/sleep+WoW.

i haven’t played any mmorpgs before this, but i don’t find it a terribly fun game. the gist of it is to go on quests for money and experience so you can level and buy new equipment. most of the quests are pretty stupid, they basically fall into 3 categories: 1) kill x of these, 2) get x of this from killing these, or 3) go talk to x in y. aside from this my other gripes are: you usually have to walk forever to get to the area you’re supposed to go to do your quest (sidenote: they should have a follow this road or walk around trees/fences button), and you can get into a vicious cycle where you die and respawn in an area of monsters and die again etc.

i don’t think i’ll buy the game; for one thing it’s not too fun to play and it’s basically endless; you can basically go on quests and level forever. plus i’m not to happy with the $15 usd/mth fee to play the game on top of the $50 usd price for the game. i’m still having fun with warcraft 3 so i think i’ll stick to that for the time being.
