I played for 4 years after release.  I hit level cap with classic WoW, Crusade, and Lich King.  I raided on all 3 versions.  I played a rogue.  If I started again I'd play a shaman so I can heal instead of being a self-serving damage dealer.

Do you want to play again? If the answer is yes, then you probably should.

@rectum_abominae: Alright then, do you have any other games lying around that you feel like you should catch up on? Unless they're also MMOs, chances are you wouldn't have to pay a monthly fee to get through them, nor deal with the massive time-sink (though that's really up to you). Truth be told, I've never played WOW, so I'm really not the best person to ask on this. I just replied to this thread 'cause it was on the main page. :/

Nothing in the OP gave the impression of doubt. Be a shaman, and save me from my sins!!!

Well, if you want to see Azeroth before it's destroyed, maybe get into the game a month before the expansion pack releases to realize how much you'll miss it.  If you don't, well there's your answer.

I haven't played my rogue in about 5 months, which is good but in a sense too bad because rogues are topping raid dps charts at 10,000-11,000 dps... My rogue is still rocking Naxx gear.   Patch 3.3 is also coming up, which is going to basically wrap up the Lich King expansion with the Icecrown Citadel/Arthas Raid... Personally I'll probably start up again in a month or so, so I can gear up in Ulduar & Coliseum in time for patch 3.3.    I also just got my Grunty the Space Marine pet code as well... it's a sign.
 
Long story short, yes you should play again.

 Before you start playing WoW again, ask yourself these questions:
 
1) Do I have time to play WoW?
2) Do I want to play, or do my friends want me to play? 
3) Are there any other (non-MMO) games that I want to play? (Play these FIRST)
4) If I don't like my Shaman, would I be willing to go back to my Rogue or roll other classes until I find one I like? 

 
If you DO decide to play again, send me a pm so I can Scroll of Resurrection you.  D:

No you shouldn't, although because you've made this thread... you will.

NO
 
 The game is in semi-stale territory, even with the new content they throw in once in a blue moon. I'm not going to get into the numerous other issues because i'd be here all day. With all the new games coming out, you'd be better off getting a breath of fresh air with something new and exciting. As much as Blizzard really wants it to, MMO's will never last forever.

No, but thats only because I have a great dislike for WOW. Though I can see why so many people like it.

No, and I played solid for two years myself.  There are a lot of other games that you could take a look at first before getting sucked back into that daily grind.  Try Champions, Aion, Fallen Earth, WAR, D&D Online (free), or a single player RPG.  Borderlands is out in a few weeks.  Uncharted 2, Brutal Legend, Demon's Soul, Magna Carta 2, Alpha Protocol, Tropico, and Charm School Girls: My Fashion Parade are but a few of the titles being released in October.  WoW demands a huge chunk of your free time.  Time that could be spent playing all the good stuff that is out and is on the horizon this holiday season.  If you want to limit your gaming again, then nothing I can say will change your mind, but I think you should try and experience as much gaming as you can outside of Azeroth before Cataclysm drops next year.

Ugh...I can't think of picking WoW up again, quit a couple of years ago during the 70 cap and looking back, though I did meet some great people along the way, I let the game suck up WAY too much of my time.
 
I'd lean towards no if you have the tendency to get addicted to it, but my perspective on MMOs in general has changed vastly since I dumped 3 years into one, so I'm sure my advice is biased.

  Only play it if you have friends that will play with you. Otherwise that game is just a waste of time.

You've got one life to live, if you enjoy playing WoW then go for it. Don't make it a chore to play though.
