I played the trial for 2 minutes and it sucked.

Never played it and never will.

I've never played WoW but I have played a number of other MMOs

i touched the box at the store and that was enough.

Never played WOW, have no intention of doing so.

The only MMO experience I remember is playing Shadowbane for a couple months, some number of years ago, but nothing since then.

No, I never played it. MMOs are boring, and I hate talking to people I don't know, especially in a videogame.

I endured the trial period but as for playing it, well, there didn't seem like much of a game in there. You point, you click and the computer does the cool stuff.

Good MMOs are a fantastic way to build virtual friendships and they are the be all end all of Co-Op gaming today, unless you like FPS.

However I lost enough of my life to Everquest, I dare not touch WoW.  I made some great friends in EQ and shared some really fun times and helped people achieve in game goals.  But it's a giant time sink, and I was never able to keep up w/ the unemployed crowd and most of the crowd like me (working 60hrs a week, girlfriend) were so spotty in raid attendance that you have to end up guilding w/ kids.  Most of them are fine but oftentimes some of the kddies can get real annoying and I prefer adult only gaming.

Hi, I'm jakob187.  I've played WoW for 3 years now, and my social life isn't in any way crippled by the game.  = D

Believe it or not I know quite a few people that got laid/married/pregnant via Everquest. Of course for every 1 marriage there were 3 divorces and 10 neglected babies and 100 cases of lung cancer, and 1000 "sick days" logged at work by varios people

One time my ex-gf way back in the day was like "WHO IS THAT GIRL" when I was buying potions off an NPC vendor...

I played the Trial once, for like 2 hours. Can't see the point of getting into, I have too many other things I like to do.

The closest I ever got to WoW was when I watched the South Park episode about it. I don't play games that make you pay to keep playing them.

I've never played a game that involves a Monthly Fee, Except Xbox Live of course.

I haven't, I watched a friend play World of Warcraft and just did not find anything I saw enticing.

Thanks for the response guys. Looks like thid thread is nearly dead. Good run though. Especially for my first post.  :)

"I've never played it either. I can't see myself ever paying a monthly fee to play a game and my interest for MMORPGs in general is pretty much nonexistent.

Give me a good single-player RPG with a great story instead Blizzard!

"Never played WoW.  But  Isn't Halo a MMO? Isn't wow and Mmo-RPG?  WEird I always thought their was a difference. 

Leroy Jenkins?  LoL  Thats where that came from!  I have never seen the original before.  Thats crazy!  I always thought that started somewhere in Halo 2. 

Anyway, I only play MMOs like CoD 4, Halo 3, Left4dead, and Killzone 2.  You know FPS MMOs.  I found this yesterday on Youtube.  Kinda funny, that they get into it so much.  RIgt?  LOL!!!  They need to buy a 360!  That 11 million players has got to be crap."

I've never played and I don't plan too, personally, it's just not my sort of game.

I once saw my friend play it (well I actually pressed forward once) and it was really really boring. Though I haven't played WoW I know quite a lot about it because almost all of my friends play it and they talk about it all the time at school. I can't even count how many times they have tried to lure me into playing it.

never played it.
hopefully never will.

I just started playing it ;)

"I've never touched wow and never intend too i've played other MMO's mostly free ones and not a single one was different id play till about lvl 30 then get bored because id have to level grind too much just to even begin the next set of quests.
"

I've not played WoW. I have nothing against it, I just prefer Ragnarok and don't have enough time to juggle 2 MMORPGs

Ive not touched it, i have a very aaddictive personality and although EVE is more to my taste, im afraid of whta would hapen to me if i got into WoW

Not much of an MMO kinda guy.

...so instead you continually buy new games, play them for a week or a month or even a few months, then buy more new ones?  What's the difference?  This argument reminds me of people saying they will never play MMO's because they are addictive and are huge timesinks, as if sinking 60 or 70 hours a month into HALO 3 online is any different.
"

I think it's sad that so many people have to knock WoW and talk about "oh, it's an addiction" and that it's for people with no lives.

Also, majority of the guys I know in RL that play WoW...DEFINITELY aren't fat and living in their parents' basement like most people think.  They are normal, everyday people.

Man this post is like the Energizer Bunny... I think you know the rest.

had the trial, but did not invest enough time in it. I don't really do MMOs.

I'm not afraid of MMOs. WoW doesn't turn sociable people into recluses and social deviates. Recluses and the socially devoid play WoW.

And, no, that's not the rule, I know a couple of people who were into WoW and they were fine for the most part. However I would put money on the top WoW players being quite an odd bunch.

MMOs require a great level of personal investment - more than I think I'll be willing to hand over. I'll stick to keeping my K/D ratio at 2.0 in CoD4.

I try to stay away from mmos i hate people 

Never played Wow. Proud of that fact. I should mention that I am afraid of getting sucked into it so I'll stay away. If you like it though, more power to you.

I never played World of Warcr-aw, heck. That's a lie. I played the shit out of that game.

Single player games are not all that different, except that most of them end, where as MMOS keep going.   Although some really great single player RPGs have a ton of depth and replay.
So what's the difference between 300 hours logged into Morrowind vs. 700 hours in WoW?  Co-op and constant balance patches is the really big diff and what you end up paying for. 

I had a 4 month subscription and the highest I got one of my characters was around level 17. I just couldn't get into that game...

I'm an ex-addict :(

Just give the game a try for yourself, get the free trial.

"Just give the game a try for yourself, get the free trial."

I've never played WoW. A lot of my friends play it, so I end up talking about it too much for someone who doesn't. I used to play Star Wars Galaxies before that got screwed up.
