WoW is my new addiction. Cool game !

The Amazon Nut...

it's like heroin. In fact, me and my non addict friends now call it Wowerin. Responsible for destroying all my favourite computer based social events, destroying my social life by all my friends refusing to go out cos they're too busy WOW'ing.

It's not right, it's not OK!!! It's like Soma in that book.... Brave New World, a tool of control of the intellectual elite

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

Starcraft is still wayyyy better!

Tiny,

I totally understand. Where did I disappear to ? LOL

I had a 10 day guest pass then bought full version last week. Already Lev 17 and in a Guild, yet learning my way around still. Some servers down right now, patch issues. Thought I'd stop in while suffering serious withdrawal.

Inko,
I'd try your game I'm sure it's great, but WoWing leaves no time for it !

Have you tried WoW ? Not 1,2, or 3, but WoW ?

*zooms off to check server status

I've occasionally been curious about WoW and those other RPGs, but from what I've heard, stealing a person's Cloudsong can be pretty serious business.

It was not a bad game some years ago. But the name of the game today, is Battlefield 2!

meh - I wasn't keen on BF2 when I played it. For me, the old ones are the best, and I stick to Operation Flashpoint - I love that game!

That's the problem with wow though, Cory. It's just like drugs, you get curious, so you try it. Next thing you're doing the geek equivalent of mugging old ladies and shooting up in train station toilets

ACIDRAIN has a good point. Before WoW, all I played was first person shooters, usually a Ubisoft title. I didn't try BF2 but heard it was pretty rad. I didn't like rpg's before. Like this one though I like alot of older games too.

WoW would be a good game to wean your kids off the more violent FPS games, but more addictive.

I have played just about all the games out there for PC. My two favs are BF2 and AOE II & III.

Great thing about BF2, is up to 64 play live together (two teams) at the same time. Also, very realistic in the way the weapons are used, as well as the diversity of vehicles and movements. As well as you are not only keeping track of your own score, but you win as a team thing in the end.

I dont get it - if you've played them both multiplayter, how can you thing BFII is better than Flashpoint!!

I just find it more realistic. If you have a good sound system, you can hear the chopper and know what direction it is coming in from, or any vehicle or even a person running up behind you. The whole set up is so realistic. From the different types of set ups you can be as a person; medic, mechanic, special opps, sniper, etc. And you get points for using your specialized function in the game. Even when you are the Commander of your team, which is not an easy task, as many people quickly learn. It takes much practice to learn to fly a helicopter or one of the different jets. They all fly different as well, depending on the civ they come from. There are just so many different varients in the game, that are always changing, depending on many other things going on.

In the end, to me, it is just so realistic, and that is what makes it such a hard challenge. I have well over 500 hours (probably closer to 1000) into playing the game, and just now I am usually in the top 5 scorers. But about a fourth of the time, I score lower. I only play on the big servers. In the next couple weeks though, I am planning on playing on the ranked servers. Here you make rank and keep it forever. And with rank comes unlocked more powerful weapons. Which opens up a whole another can of worms to discuss, lol.

It is just my fav for now. I am sure there will be something come out in the next year or two that will take me away from this as well.

yea i played a bit of it, too addictive and needed to concentrate on my studies....

I think they reached 6 million players globally...6 000 000 x 20 = 120 000 000..... thats a lot of zeros, these guys must be racking it in.

"I've occasionally been curious about WoW and those other RPGs, but from what I've heard, stealing a person's Cloudsong can be pretty serious business."

XFD.

Finally someone understood...

FP = PWNED.
