LordSenate said: I loved the fist 3 expansions or so.. man.. when WoW first came out (Beta especially) I was blown away, FUCKING BLOWN away. Man, just had not seen any game fleshed out and brought me into an rpg world like that before. But as many have said, its not the same, a lot has to do with catering to casuals. That and it being old as fuck
The big thing that blew me away in WOW was the seamless movement from one zone to another with no loading screen. I was like 'OMGWTFBBQHOWDIDTHEYDOTHATMAGICSHIZ'
Oh, and then flying from one zone tower to another the first time. Or the first time you flew from a really far away (but still on the same map so no loading) tower back to orgrimaar or wherevers.
Back then I really liked the cartoony graphics too, if only because they did a great job with the world design and such so it made what was a pretty low poly, easy to run game, look nice.
When my friends and I all played SWG, we used to go pick some uber badass looking planet like dantooine or something, go up on a hill, then turn allllllllll the video settings up to maxmaxmaxmamaxmax just to see the pretties. Of course back then even a bleeding edge machine got like 5fps max if you did that, because SWG's engine had capabilities built in that farrrrr exceeded current day hardware.
WoW on the other hand, was made to look good even on pretty low settings and bleh hardware.

I'm waiting on Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, check out the website, from Everquest designer Brad Mcquaid, sure most of you have heard of him. Anywho, it's a game specifically catered to making friends and grouping to complete the vast majority of goals in the game. Big emphasis on grouping. Won't be out for a while, but I've waited this long . Definitely worth a peak, give it a glance.

Meh. If anyone still plays wow hit me up for battletag. I'm always up for PvP or doing old raids for achievements or mounts.
Following where the topic headed, I really liked the BC and LK expansions. I didn't really like Cata and MoP was awful. Quit entirely during that Pandaland shit. Wow gets repetitive but I still like it, at least right now. Been getting the subs with gold.

Vanilla wow sucked me in like heroin.
Tried the 14 day trial when I was sick on spring break and I never stopped playing. I literally couldn't get enough.
I kept playing all the way up to the Litch King expansion and quit after that. I found myself on my flying mount just flying around aimlessly.
I had to lie to get my flying mount.. I promised I wouldn't try to get it if this group ran through just for one person to get it. I rolled for it and got it muhahahaha

I still enjoy wow. I do however miss the vanilla days... I tried a private server for a little but didn't care for it. I enjoy the social aspects of the game. Level 100 quests get quite intense and keep you playing. It's addicting. Sometimes I just log in and chill by a waterfall and fish. The addition of the garrison is pretty sick, I have my own city and fleet of ships. There is always something to do... The music is nice and the ambient sounds are straight as well.

Yeah when you hit lvl 90-92 you receive a quest line that build you a basic "Garrison" (its like a fort). At first the fort is just small huts but can be upgraded over time and by doing quests. Eventually it turns into a bigger garrison fortress. This is yours. No one Elise's. You customize the building in the fort. So I'm a herbalist and Alchemist; So I have a alchemy trainer building, and a herb garden. I have a bunch of other fun buildings too. One lets me stay mounted while attacking in Draenor (awesome). I have a building for portals too called a "Spirit Lodge". Anyways but yeah you even get "Followers" that you can send on missions. Then you build a huge set of docks with vendors... You send your ships on missions and build bigger ships and send those ships... there's just too much to do. They have made it so you can't get bored lol.

I would be willing to make an char to found a guild that dedicates itself to mind controlling people into lava in the BWL/MC chamber
Right now I do have a 25 rogue on that server but haven't played for a month or so.
It's a quality server though, LOTS of world pvp, has a very active feel to it.

If you guys want a new/unique MMO to try, I've been trying out EVE onlines 30 day free trial.
Seems like a super in depth game so far. Mostly spaceship based, tons of customization/different build types. And you can even fly ships manually once you get good enough, so no more of that stale turn based MMO combat
And, the big sell, the EVE people are currently working on EVE valkyrie, which is VIRTUAL EVE online. the first virtual MMO is en route folks

They added hands on flying into EVE?
I just never liked how point and click the controls were never made it too engaging for me though it is a fantastically constructed game. Also I always feel like starting this late in the game I'll never be relevant the way that skill upgrades work.
I'm waiting for star citizen :p

I'm playing Nostalrius atm as well & was thinking of coming on here to see if anyone else did. I play Horde, characters name is Kremzeek only level 23 right now. Playing with an old friend but was looking for more peeps to play/join a guild with or even roll a new character with. I'm about to jump on now.
As far as new MMO's go I am kinda interested in the new Warhammer 40K one, don't know anything about it though other then its a more shooter sort of MMO.
