I have neither the time nor the money to spend on World of Warcraft. The concept doesn't much interest me much, either. I am always reluctant in trusting games in which my gameplay-experience depends partially on other humans.

[dErmos]

All in all, the game is dangerous. I heard about a Korean guy playing non-stop for maybe two days or so . . . and when he got up from the chair he fell down and had a heart atack. They should put some kind of a warning on the WOW boxes for people with a weak heart...

Watch Pure Pwnage for a fictional, but possibly accurate showing of what it does to people.

Thanks for repeating what I thought was a doubtful compliment to begin with, but you're quite right, of course.

[BeefontheBone]

It seems to work pretty well for me too

Then again, we are a multiple personality, aren't we?

Who's getting OT now?

So to conclude, WoW is too much a waste of money to play...

Anarchy Online is a very good MMORPG. Go try that it's free!

I've only stopped because I need somebody to take my character somwhere. With my RAM it'll take about an hour or two. Somebody else could do it in 5 minutes and earn themeselves 30k

Ew.
Anarchy Online, blech, and it is sorta buttgy...I found one that got me like 200k for one kill of this monster...

I'm confused.  

[A. J. Raffles]

What's so confusing about that? Anyway, let's try to keep this on topic. If you'd like to have a chat about how great a place Oxford is, feel free to PM me, Sean, but this is supposed to be about MMPO[insert random bunch of letters here]Gs, really.
A friend of mine played Everquest for a year or so, together with her boyfriend. They "only" played for about 2-3 hours a day, but it was a little disturbing how much it affected my friend's life ("Sorry, I won't be able to make it tomorrow, I need to wait for [some monster] to respawn so I can finally get that quest item."). One day they decided it was just costing them far too much time, so they stopped and sold their characters on eBay for a few hundred Euro, and they've never regretted it.

Its not so bad you only hear bad stories about it and some people aren't qualifide too play video games, but i have seen people ruining their lives over that game,but i dont think that is a good enough reason to bann it , i mean why dont we ban cigaretts too and alcahol, and cpu, and medication ,guns?,knifes?
