Here's my original post...

Ok...so the game's been out for what, a year now? My brother bought the game a long time ago, but never played it because he didn't want to pay the monthly fee. About 3 weeks ago it was a crappy day and I had nothing to do for a few hours before going out to the bar. So I decided to install and use the 10 day trial...Needless to say, I was hooked.

The game is amazing and I wish that my computer was new enough so that I could enjoy the game's graphics at its best. However, besides the dungeons, the game seems to turn into little more than "Kill X amount of Y creatures" or "Collect X amount of Y materials" and return for a reward. There seems to be very little horde/alliance interaction. The proffessions often seem pointless as well as you can often find or loot items that are better than what you can create (with the exception of maybe alchemy). Despite this, I still love it and find myself wasting lots of my time playing WOW.

I was just curious to hear thoughts from those who have been playing WOW (or any MMORPG) for a couple months. What's it like at those upper levels when there isn't much left to do?

I played Guild Wars mostly through all the betas and events and was hooked for the time being. I eventually made a guild with a bunch of random people I met.

We did quite well for ourselves, placing in the top 50 of 2000 or so guilds. I'm not sure what guild battles are like right now, but we did over 50 battles at that guild hall map ( I don't know if they have more than one map now, forgive me).

The actual battles were quite intense and very fun.
I remember when I first played though, I thought it was some form of CTF, so our hole team ended up blitzing their base the hole round with one guy carrying the flag around screaming random shit, pretty funny at the time.

Great game nonetheless, a delightful and refreshing change over the usual mmorpg, although GW is more of an mmog than an mmorpg, game is still fun as hell.

Hey just so you know, when you say the word 'hole' and you mean entire, it's spelled whole.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything; just letting you know.

Anyway, as far as MMOs go, I'm not a big player, but I played RO a long time ago during the alpha days, some of the beta, and on a few private servers. That game is filled with hat quests, but it was still pretty fun as far as the social aspect went.

The upper levels are the most fun of all. Battlegrounds (two right now, three very soon), challenging instances (5man, 10man, 15, 40, and soon 20 as well), arena PVP, various forms of character-building such as farming for gear or materials for crafting.

Professions may seem useless at lower levels, but in actuality they are very useful. First Aid is amazing, for one thing, and Alchemy is great too (at any level). Blacksmithing produces some of the most formidable weapons in the game, such as Dawn's Edge, Arcanite Reaper, and Core Marksman Rifle. Tailoring creates bags, which are useful for ANYONE, as well as some pretty powerful high end robes and cloth gear. Same goes for leatherworking. And all of these things ultimately have epic recipes that are as good or better than similar drops. For instance, Belt of the Archmage is an epic cloth recipe from tailoring and it's one of the best belts in the game.

On a good PVP server you will always have some fun PVP encounters, particularly in groups. I can't even count the amount of times I've gone into an instance area like Dire Maul or Blackrock Spire and encountered a full alliance group. Hunting people in areas like Stranglethorn Vale is fun too, if you're into that sort of thing. Though personally, I prefer battlegrounds since they are designed specifically for PVP combat.

I've only grown to like the game more and more since I've hit level 60. Once you complete the "grind" you get access to all sorts of fun areas. It's just a blast to be coordinating strategies in Warsong Gulch in real time over Ventrilo as you're playing the game. It's great.

Ahh. None taken. Thanks!

I play-tested it for 8 months. The first few weeks of exploration are always fun, in any high-budget MMOG. But WoW really shows its ugly side once you get a couple months into it, moreso than most MMOGs I've played. The systems used, like instancing, fast travel time, and having almost no death penalty really cheapen (spoil) the game. It's still unanimously, somewhat "fun" up till level 20, at which point the free trial ends for a reason.

MMORPGs have been done far better.

[Beatdown]

End game EQ1 (pre Luclin) was loads of fun, especially with guilds. There were tons of fun raid zones and difficult mobs to bring down, plus arenas on non PvP servers for people to do whatever. My old guild used to set up all sorts of tournaments with each other by class type (tanks, melee, casters, healers) or do something stupid like getting totally shitfaced and running from one city to another on foot. Whenever we got bored with that we'd just gather up and find a spot to go.

One of our favorite places to go was the Tower of Frozen Shadow, a seven story tower with an extremly mean vampire at the very top and some interesting shit along the way including an undead wedding and library. Some of the best times are getting to like the fourth level and realizing someone left a key behind or watching a guildie fall into a pit of doom for the 8th time. I do have to say a lot of the fun in MMORPG's is what you and your friends make of it. Boy did we have fun.

[Blake]

There is TONS of horde/alliance interaction in a PVP server. Almost to the point it annoys me It can get hard to level in some zones but I've sworn revenge on those damned horde. Being a part of raids is very fun, and when I reach 50+ I'm going to run my own damn raid and make those hordes' lives miserable after they've made me waste a few hours of my time camping my corpse when I was just trying to kill a few more monsters in that zone. If anybody on Kalecgos wants to raid, gimme a pst my name is Blizihizake. I swear man. Whenever I run through the barrens and see all the pvp enabled low levels running like hell from me, I just wave at them and dance at them. But nooo, the ?? hordes that come to our land just gotta zerg and camp.

Oh well. It adds a different aspect to the game, and gives me a sort of incentive to get to a higher level.

[God's Debris]

I bought this game about a month and a half ago and have been playing it non-stop whenever I get the chance. I found that the game starts to get tedious during the 20-30 levels, unfortunately. But after you hit the 30s and are close to recieving a mount all while unlocking horribly more powerful skills and talents through your talent tree, the game picks back up again. I can't wait until I can make myself some Truefaith Vestments and pick up the Benediction staff. I will definately be one sexy undead manbeast with those.

Oh yeah, you can't forget about those Night Elf babes either. They're all ...babe-ish and stuff. :D
