World of Warcrack

ERM Warcraft, World of Warcraft.

Does anyone play WoW? Did anyone? Why did you stop if you once travelled around Azeroth? Why do you continue to grind your soul away if you did not stop?

How do you justify the repetitiveness if you play/ed it? Can one justify mmo mechanics logically may be the real question.

I don't hate it. I'm not bashing it by speaking in this manner. I'm just speaking the honest truth of what it is really all about that's all.

 

Other mmorpg's I've wasted time playing (time that was more like smoking crack or shooting digital heroin than playing a video game):

• EVE
• Guild Wars 1 & 2
• Age of Conan
• Aion
• Gosh I know there's a handful more but cannot recall them, none compared to WoW, WoW was the only one that totally devoured my soul for years

I think it's the interaction with people in a virtual world, one sometimes loses their grip on the real world and gets sucked in over their heads. I played WoW with someone I knew offline and it was a total waste of time but it was so amazing while playing it. I hated the game at first, everything about it sucked, until I started playing with someone I knew and Blizzard somehow sunk its hooks deep into the core of my soul. They have a way of doing that to people. Just Blizzard, no other game company can do this.

 

I remember when BioWare's Star Wars mmo was coming out, there was so much hype around it. People were saying it might be the WoW killer. Lol, we all know how that went (well if you were a gamer back then and played it).

I think only Blizzard's next mmo will dethrone WoW. I've been out of a gaming for a while now but my intuition tells me there hasn't been a more worthwhile contender yet.

 

Well. I should slow down my reminiscing. I'm typing poorly and mixing up info. The old tinker is fried. I find it odd, mmorpg's. How popular they are. But how much they really suck compared to other games.

I get a feeling they still all suck pretty much. But that doesn't reduce the addictive quality of them. A paradox.

 

One last thought, Star Trek mmo. Forget the exact title and not worth it to look it up, my friend was all excited about it. It was a dud when it came out though. I will never play a mmorpg ever again. I lost interest in games a few years ago. WoW called to me today, crazy. Just not worth getting sucked back into a make believe world. Virtual fantasy is so tempting for so many people. Maybe if Blizzard releases a new mmo...no. I find it crazy I'm thinking about WoW. After all these years, the fuckin' thing still reigns supreme among mmorpg's.
