i played the 2 week trial for about 1 hour and couldn't stand it anymore. i love online games but have never played an MMORPG before. i'm wondering if i threw in the towel too quickly or if this game is an acquired taste. i love action/adventure games, first/third person shooters, racing, sports, RTS, action-RPGs, and puzzle games. for some reason, WoW didn't strike a cord with me. I wasn't impressed.
Its definitely a personal preference. I played the game for about 1 year and a half before I quit, and I played a lot of characters. If it is a game you will enjoy, you probably wont know it until around level 20 or so. That is when all classes get some really cool abilities which makes it a lot of fun.
You really gotta give a game like WoW a good few hours to play... call it an evening (4+ hours) before you can make even an initial judgement. Really.. if you gave it the two weeks you'd probably end up enjoying it, or at least respecting it. I honestly didn't like the game until I got a few levels on me. I ended up getting bored of the game a month or two into it, but it is deffinately a good time until then. I dont think you can say the game isn't too great yet.
There is nothing wrong with you, its a boring mmorpg. Its just questing and pve, thats it.... the pvp is sub-par if not completely boring and its unbalanced. I had more fun playing Ultima Online, and Shadowbane at release with all their bugs and crashs thant his simply because those were Guild based games, where this is the horribly boring Faction based system. Faction "pvp" games (is say "pvp" because wow is really a pve game) are a horrible fad and lead to boring games. The only people who are into wow hardcore do end-game instances non stop and thats it... same people who played Everquest all those years for the end game raids on that. So if you dont care for that kind of PVE gameplay or if you like PVP the game is BAD
It's personal preference, just because 8.5+ million people play it activly doesn't mean everyone will like the game. There are people who hate they game because it doesn't appeal to them. It's all down to your play **** and the **** of games in which you play and enjoy playing.
it took me a long time to get up off $50 just for xbox live. i find it difficult to spend another $20 or whatever it is per month to play a game like this. i love xbox live though.
i can't stand WoW; and no, it's not because I've never played an online game. I was addicted to Diablo 2 for a year, probably played that more than any other game excepting AOE2 perhaps. WoW is just a mindless drudge for levelling up; it addicts you until you get to that next level, that next weapon or skill. I got so many characters in D2 so leveled up because I just couldn't stop. Until I did, of course. WoW is stupid.

No, it just means you don't enjoy endless grinding and a crappy community.
Your not alone...After years of playing everquest live..Ive tried every mmorpg out there to date..Even eve online..Im still looking for a game like eq live to keep me involved...Thaught everquest 2 would do it..I played eq2 for about a year an got bored...Was in top guilds also had some of the best gear..It still didnt do justice to everquest live..
Eve online for me is as boring as wow also...Im giving vanguard a go when my friend comes home from iraq..Im even willing to try conan online when it comes out..Love mmmorpgs that are guild based..
Wow to me is just boring..An yes ive tried it for a month..Gave it a chance even hit lvl 20..Dont see the thrill in this boring boring boring game..
What i miss about eqlive was this..Boss mobs popped you went an raided to beat the other top guilds...Ive yet to experiance this same thrill as i did with live..Than any other game out there...Was all about the competition of eq i think...

I Don't play WoW anymore but you really should give any game more than 1 hour of playtime.
You are just too young to appreciate what it takes to put a quality on-line game like WoW into operation, to keep it accessible, and to fill it with good sound, animations, and environments.

For me it was an aquired taste but even then I only played till level 30 and got bored with the same quests over and over and quit.
No thats fine, just because a game is popular (or even unpopular) doesn't mean that you will agree. I think you should give it more than just one hour (maybe play till level 10) and decide then. WoW and MMO's in general are not fast paced games that can be done in just an hour.

i'm 24 i guess us young whipersnappers don't know quality when we see it.
MMO's in general are an acquired taste, much like a Sam Adams Lager, or a Fuzzy Pirate.Cerza
...or a prostate exam. not to dog blizzard (because i loved the Diablo and Warcraft RTS series) but i find this game about as exciting as watching my gamespot profile level up.
I think it's time to break the MMO mold. The formula has been way too static for years. I'm looking forward to Hellgate london. I think Flagship is trying to take MMO's in a new direction. Huxely looks amazing as well. Just have to wait and see.

There is nothing wrong with you. Every game does not appeal to every gamer.
its just an overall bad game, no question, just like 9 outta 10 of the other mmorpgs out there
gameplay can be exploited and manipulated easily, blizzard offers little protection from hackers, PvP is unbalanced, WoW offers you nothing more than the average MMORPG other than easily maxed stats :)

That doesn't automatically make the game fun for everyone, regardless of age.

Oni im with you on this..Im buying a new computer just for hellgate..Well that any other games...Even though my new pc may cost me over 3k...Its still so worth it...
Some people are complaining about the online fee..Im all for it..If they keep making the game better an add new items..Like in normal mmorpgs...

I have to agree with a a few points here. The first point being that I too found it rather boring. For me, it just seemed rather repetitive and droll. That said, however, I'd also have to agree that it would be worth giving more than an hour to. The game does open up a bit at 20 and up. If you reach, say, lvl 23 and still no spark, let it go. By that point you'll have a fairvariety of skills and have seen a good enough amount of the game, imho.
I hear too many horror stories and see too many people sucked into that game to even try it. I have done a lot of work around several apartments, and I have seen my share of WoW-ites. :P
Dude, all you are saying by not likeing WoW is that you are a sane person and that you don't have a trendy attitude. You are a individual and you should be given a medal for your heroic actions.
i used to play alot of mmorpgs, and i used to like it, but now... they all feel the same and skill maters not on mmorpg. timespend=gear and lv = power = skill, thats how i see it anyway i played wow for about 6-8months and got bored of it, sure raids can be fun but its not everyone that can spare 5hours per day on a game (and lets face it mmo's are not for the weekend gamer) i rather stick with a game that i can play 1-2 hours a day and a game that acuatly add something to my life , like a nice story , a fun gameplay and that can surprise me, mmo's are pretty predictble and i dont feel chalanged playng them.
fans would likely to bombard you with the "8 million subscribers" napalm, but see, mate....that's just a freaking small portion of humanity. you're as fine and dandy as anyone can be on the other side. in some way, better :)
I played the trial once, hated it and didn't play it again... Until my christmas break when I didn't have anything to do and played it almost day and night. Then school came back around and I never touched it again.
W.O.W. debate. I have said in previous debates the game has a great community. But unless you come from China or Korea and you like simple games then W.o.W. is not for you.
Lucky some of us have taste. Diablo is another overrated pil of poo which only obtained the 70-80% mark when it was released. Not sure why its getting legendary status. Starcraft is another. Amazing how many think its better than TA. TA revolutionised the genre , starcraft played with the same isometric crap that had been done in populous.......BAH.

Where do people keep getting this idea that Hellgate London is an MMO?
I played it longer than you did, about three months. The game did have its merits, hell it's a Blizzard game, but ultimately as with every other MMO I've played, other people ruined the experience for me. I understand that PvP is often an integral part of the MMO experience, but after being ganked for the 80th time in one playing session when all I'm trying to do is level, it gets pretty old, pretty fast. I'd have to admit that WoW is one of the best MMOs out there, but at the end of the day, it is an MMO - a fad which I had hoped would eventually die off, but with the unbelievable success Blizzard has achieved with Warcrack, I guess the reality TV of gaming is here to stay.

Blizzard sucks ardylicious
gotta disagree with you on those points, Diablo and Starcraft are very fun games for many of us, so hopefully people take your opinion like a grain of salt.
I'm not a WoW fan either, but I hardly think Blizzard sucks. They are probably the most successfull developer this side of Nintendo for good reason.
no theres nothing wrong with you, personnaly i found the game picked up soo much at lvl 60, because of tier sets and so on, i just enjoyed how you learned without much of a choice about every spell peice of gear in the game, running arround pvping and you see someone casting with you at the target knowning what the spell is and BAM counter and destroy them. I find the game dull for the first couple lvls to about 20-30 before you start doing dungeons and so on, i played the game for 2 years....im done now cuz it was simply to much. When you and your guild is doing very intensive endgame content to get a world first or server first....theres a lot of pressure, and when all goes wrong and no one knows everyone blames the priest which i played, and BTW A LOT OF DRAMA that is what killed it. ninja, officer drama, jerks....end of story

There is nothing wrong with you sir. It's your preference and I gladly respect that! Not everybody likes WOW. I do, but I can't force everybody to do the same right?

just a preference thing. WoW is not an action type game. the fighting in wow is really dull. so if you get your enjoyment from that you won't like it much. WoW caters mostly to ppl that like the story, ppl that have an obsession to get everything, and ppl and like to socialize online. I actually quit wow after hitting 60 and getting a few epics because i had seen it all and it was clear that the fun was gone. i was doing pretty much the same thing just for new loot. and i keep up with my friends (guild) on my website so i didn't need to keep paying for wow.
It's actually pretty boring in the beginning. That's why I hate starting new characters. You just gotta force yourself to level up to the more exciting levels. Levels where you can do instances and PvP. If you played it for 1 hour, I'm assuming you've only reached level 5 or so. It took me a while for the game to get going.

hmmm my experience is different. the first time i leveled the game was a lot of fun. at around lvl 50 or 55 it got so that i needed groups to do anything and the quests took hours to finish and thus the fun diminished. part of the enjoyment was discovering the world and new areas for the first time. now after you have a high lvl character re-rolling gets boring because you already know the lore and the land. it become of chore instead of a new experience.
