Topic: World of Warcraft anyone?

The best thing about WoW is that it's so successful that everyone else will be forced to innovate or face being crushed under it's giant steel-toed boot.

That's a funny way of saying that everyone will try to imitate it.

The other problem with WoW is that nothing matters, even temporarily. I like the idea of sieging cities because that will at least offer something in the way of having an actual effect on the world around you. In WoW, I can kill 5,000,000 enemy players and it's meaningless if I don't do it again the next week and all of those players are still up and about.

Kill all the NPCs in a town and they'll be back again like it never happened in 5 minutes. Kill an enemy leader, same thing. When the entire world will never change no matter how much you attempt to influence it, it's no better than a virtual amusement park: fun for a while, but you'll quickly realize how shallow it is.

And when you're gone, it'll be like you were never there at all.

It's not about building your honor. It's about tormenting people. All day.

Heh, fair enough, but I never took an interest in ganking noobs.

Don't get me wrong: I love world PvP, but even on a PvP server, 90% of the PvP happens in battlegrounds, and usually against epic geared teams. The little world PvP I did participate in was always insanely fun, but since it only happens once in a blue moon, it ain't worth $15 a month for a game I enjoy playing maybe once a week.
