to me wow is a game that the people that play it never got to play a real mmorpg like eq1 and daoc . WoW is just to cartoon for me . i wish there were a way to fight against a wow toon using my 70 shaman or my 70 monk from eq1 or my 70 sorc or my 70 infiltrator from daoc i think i would wipe the floor with any WOW toon out
orly?
Because out of those 11 million, there couldn’t possibly be DAoC or EQ1 players running around? It is accessible to hardcore and vanilla players, hence its popularity.
Blizzards agile iterative design cycle for all of its games = perfection in the end.
Also, I played EQ1 and DAoC. I hated both. EQ1 was cool for its time but in the end it was just squares fighting triangles. Or was it dots vs static? I can’t remember.
In the end, EQ1 had 500,000 players and WoW has 11 million. No argument can beat those numbers.
I play WoW. My gf plays WoW. My friends play WoW. We like the game. I don’t mind that you don’t like the game but telling me that the only reason I play is because I didn’t play EQ1 or DAoC is a fallacy.
Enjoy your real bad looking ‘real’ graphics and I’ll keep my cartoons of awesomeness. Do what you enjoy, it isn’t my place to judge
