It's called "Risk Assessment". It's nothing new, strange, or unusual. It is expected of any good producer and his team. You may learn this when you make it out into the real world... or get a real job. Whatever comes first.

The really sad part about you canceling is you will still be here posting long after you have stopped playing.

Why? It's the exact same mechanic that keeps people playing games they no longer really find fun in the first place - they enjoy the community.

You aren't going to change that so sniveling about it isn't going to accomplish much. If you want a board that only allows active subscribers, I believe you will find the main WoW boards right up your alley.

Enjoy the anal jokes.

^5 and then some. As ridiculous as these forums are the official subscriber only forums are far far far and my god far worse.

I wish Rift was out today Arc. I'd be in the same boat as you. Enjoying the beta weekends.

At least the people of his server got rid of a jerk. That's always a good point.

I will be playing RIFT when it comes out. But I can already see the shiny penny factor. I think the MMO genre itself is going no where fast. Rift makes some good moves, but it is WoW with a new wrapper (graphics upgrade).

That is probably good enough for me right now. One thing I have learned with MMOs is that we have run out of green grass on the other side of the fence.

WoW still provides me some enjoyment for now.

I really like the game, but I am having trouble getting around that 'same old' feeling. Even with a great guild to play with. I think maybe 5+ years is just too long to play the same game, lol.



Ok, I really enjoyed the game until I hit 85, after about two days, I had to work to stretch it out. They could have at least made it last a week. Now there are lots of new fun things in the questing, being a giant ball burning thousands of gnomes, all the Indianna Jones jokes, a few puzzle solving quests, camel racing in dungeons....but...actual solid content is very low. After grinding regularlas, I am not terribly intersted in grinding heroics for points for gear to raid. Hit a few of the raids already. Kind of cool with intersting and variable situations (think drake combo changes weekly with Halfus for example) but I'm not intested in grinding my butt off to gear up agian jsut to get bored with raids.


Now I started my worgen yesterday. I LOVE the questlines, the starting area and so forth the Worgen, but that's only going to last me until lvl 15. Battlegrounds, same boring thing. Tol Barad, can't get 5 Allies to go teh same direction let alone work together to win. Oh wait...free honor, the horde is gonna lose on purpose. Right forgot that part.


I had my doubts about the whole "death of hte game" thing but it's certainly starting to feel stale already. /sigh Not even as many enw zones ot explore as TBC or WLK. You didn't get scared going in any new zones as a lowbie either. Some of hte starter zones had some fun changes and I'm now able to fly over the dam in Loch Modan but that fluff only lasts so long.


/sigh


And yeah....the whole quit screen? Burning Crusade? Laughable. Beyond pathetic.
