From what I understand, should I purchase and log on to either of those games, my soul would just be sucked from my body and stored in my computer, accessable to me only when I was playing aforementioned game. Eating, sleeping, working; trivial.
To be quite honest, I'm just afraid to try either of them. Too much fun, too addictive, for me to be able to handle. |

I play <twitch> WoW </twitch>, and my only true "main" character is a dwarven hunter by the name of Longshanks on the Cenarion Circle RP realm, with a troll shaman alt named Bonedancer on the same server. The gods only know that I've experimented with everything under the sun, though. :D

Just a point here in wow playing a druid is cool Taurens get a hp bonus and soloing to around 20 is easy. I'm 31 and WoW players on Warsong are useally friendly enough to help ya out with hard quests or just a group to help ya move up the exp ladder. |

I bought WOW on the release day. I was was concerned that I might loose my soul to the computer because I've been playing RPG all my life.
... amazingly after 3 weeks I lost intrest and used my time fiddling with SR adventures and my characters. I was even had friends playing on the same server... and my girlfrind was out of the country !! I enjoyed the whole setting.. but something was missing for me... and the thought of spending days and weeks to hit the max level 60, just to see everybody else do the same - threw me off as well... I'm sure that it's the social aspect that captures people... It just (thankfully) didn't do it for me :) advice... no advice.. enjoy life |

I believe the "missing factor" was challenge...risk...accompishment one of the main draws for alot of people interested in SR to begin with as a "gritty"/harder RPG ;>. I too was "looking forward" to WoW for years as an MMO veteran, only to be incredibly disappointed in a game that couldnt hold my interest longer then 2 months. |

I bought WoW with the intent of buying a computer that can handle it right after, but stuff happened, and I ended up still stuck with this crappy machine and a game that refuses to play on it.
Incidentally, I happened to have invested in the Collector's Edition, so I can actually sell the game on eBay, get back everything I spent on it, and still turn a profit. 8) |

You should have sold it when Blizzard stopped selling it on the market. You would have made a fortune. |

I'm pretty sure that the market price hasn't dropped any. If anything, it has went up.
In any case, I don't need the money and might have the chance to play again in the future, so I'm reluctant to part ways with it just yet. Plus the artbook that came with it is pretty damn sexy. |

I was going to get WOW but was but off by the sever instability, bugs, and lack of dev involvement when I visited numerous WOW sites. Is it really the case?
I was in COH since beta, left in december, renewed this month and will probably cancel it in this month as well. A great game, but paying 15 bucks a month is what will end my subscription again, that and the fact my SG went bust. I love this game and to date think it's the best setup. Just got done with Guild Wars and I'll probably go to that now for a bit once it releases. If I can find a career instead of my old meager job and can start to afford a monthy fee I'll go back to COH (virtue server) Mecha Man Mardi static dude kurgan |

It's hard to say. For all the poaching they did from other MMO's they didn't seem to pickup anyone that learned anything useful as far as a communication method goes.
There have been a few updates. and they are focusing on power-giving bugs and exploits before repairing the power leaching ones. Personally, I think the long heard excuse from every MMO I ever played, "We didn't know that change was going in." is complete bunk. If it's not communicated, even if it's changed that variable name from kermit1 to Kermit1 it needs to be in the notes, period, flat out. Also, I think a lesson all MMO's need to learn is to tell players how things should be, lift the mechanics veil, otherwise we won't know it's broken and most complaints will be whining instead of mathematically appropriate and accurate testing. |

No. They have, and are running the best MMO experience out there, flat out. Anyone who says differently is to used to EQ. The devsa are involved inteh community but they do not bow to the wishes of every loser who can post on the boards. They have no more or less serv instability then anyother game. But they give you FREE days when the server goes down. So you do not pay to play on days youcan't access the server. On all the ones I have played (UO, EQ, EVE, AO, etc) no one has ever done that. The game had more content and less bugs at launch, than EQ had after 2 years. Trust me, once you play this game there will be no going back to others. Unless of course your a power gamer who feels his or her class should always be the "best" (regardless of what class you play). It is totally worth a look. Hell 1.5 million people are playing it an dliking it., |

Echo that Shadow.
My biggest complaint is they keep underestimating volume. Other than that, it's a great game. I have a few alts and I keep finding stuff I missed along the way, it's great. |
