If these games weren't worth it, people would play Guild Wars instead of WoW, EQ2, EQ1, DAoC, SWG, Matrix Online, LOTR Online, etc.... BTW, all of these "pay to play" games are outpacing Guild Wars which is free to play (after software purchase).....there must be a reason.

I've played this game since closed beta... I agree it sucks you life away if you let it. Also about the pay to play part of it. Over the corse of 4 months of playing you spend as little as $80 to play this game. How many people go to Gamestop or Software Etc and spend $50+ on a game every month. I used to think that MMO's were a rip off till i did the math myself. Anyway thats my rant, and if anyone plays on the Archimonde server and are looking for a local guild let me know.

I'm so pissed I wasted $30 on it.
When you think about it - aside from the initial game purchase - if you spend one night a month at home playing WoW instead of being out at a bar or cruising around, you'll have saved money. That's actually the main deciding factor I used when I first bought the game. $15 a month is nothing compared to a night at the bar.
IMHO, The Burning Crusade killed WoW. I know quite a few people that just quit playing when they hit 70, me included. Unless you don't have a job, friends, or any other sort of contact with people at all, it's just pointless. We're all waiting for Warhammer to come out.
If anyone wants to buy an account with a fairly well geared 70 dwarf hunter plus alts on a PvE server, let me know.

WoW for one year = $156 and its the only game you are paying for...lolz for you saying you have to pay for playing online...but $50/year for playing a bunch of games or $156/year to play one single game...sounds like it'd get old...I'd rather spend the money on 2-3 other 360 games...

To compare Forza or any other game to a MMORPG is a joke. Yes, there are aspects you can only do online in Forza, but the level of gameplay isn't even close. It'd be like comparing a Super Nintendo to the Wii, yes they are both gaming platforms from Nintendo and you can surely get a Nintendo for a lot cheaper than a Wii, but does that make the Super Nintendo superior?

That and a bunch of xbox games have upgrades quite often too. Halo 2, as an example, has now had 4 map updates since it came out...and for the record...RPG's are a joke :p: ...lol...i just cant stand the damn things...dont got the patience

^ they're made so people with no lives can live their lives out through a game. I play video games once and a while and enjoy it, but seriously some people do it 24/7, it's just sad I mean go outside and do something...Wrong, its not so they can live their lives through a game. It's like anything else, a form of entertainment. Never once in my life have I thought...Jeez, I wanna be a witch doctor/alchemist/necromancer, but I have played chars that are those classes.

Chuck...do you really presume that he meant the literal characters in the game? C'mon, he simply meant that many people get carried away with it and just can't stop playing, therefore making WoW their (social) life, and how you twisted that into literal characters, I am not certain. Maybe it's bc you don't know people that can't stop playing...people whos grades have gone down the shitter bc of the game... If you can play it and just play it on occasion and no more then there's no problem. That's the bottom line here...it's more than entertainment for some, it's a lifestyle.
