I'm thinking about getting WoW but it's been out a while so is it still worth getting?

Also which game to I get first? the orignal, BC or WotLK?

Not to late at all, loads of players start all the time, try the trial and see if you like it.

I tried the trail about 6 months ago but I got my PS3 around that time aswell so I only played 2 hours of it.

give it a try.. get the battlechest (contains WoW and BC) and you get a month of free play time all for $30.

If you enjoy it, keep on playing, and buy WotLK down the line.

Yes. Because MMO's are known to have fantastic combat! It never gets old clicking on a fairy, waiting for my warlock to jog up to the fairy, then watching him slowly bash the fairy in the same fashion over and over again while I hit random numbers to buff my man.

Oh holy crap no, I don't recommend it because it's actual name should be "once you by this game your social life will disappear game" but there are MILLIONS upon millions of players, it's ok to still buy it in that regard.

ou can really jump in and out of WOW anytime, so no it's not too late. Still, this game will probably give you like this love/hate feeling, because there are a lot of things you will like about it and a lot of things you will wish were better than they are. The main thing is to just have fun, and not make completing every minor quest and squeezing out every last drop ofXP your objective. Focus on getting better equipment and strengthening your character, and playing with friends, it's best that way.

I am dead-certain that a LOST online game could work...like you make your own original character in a sort of factions thing with one side DHARMA Initiative members, one side Others...or maybe just everyone is a survivor or something. It would probably have a lot of adventure, mystery, FPS and survival aspects to it. Anyway they probably wouldn't want to start on a project that risky until the whole tv series has aired in its completion and the full scope of the series' mythology is out in plain view for the developers to work with. But maybe that would make a better single-player game made by a company that knows what they're doing...like Bethesda, in a style similar to Oblivion/Fallout3, with online play. That would be awesome.

Well if your one of those gamers who want to keep up on the style, then yeh itsa bit late. If you've got mates

playing on it and still loving it then your gonna get more fun out of it. Still though, its behind the fashion now.

get WoW! The pop isn't dieing down anytime soon. There are 11 million people playing it. With regards to what to get, get WoW and then BC. If you like those then get WotLK.

Actually, I think kotor combat was very well implemented. It won't work for an MMO, but I really don't see how you can criticise their RPG gameplay. Most are extremely well done.

Give it a go! It's never to late. It's still a fantastic game. I play from time to time. Nothing like I used to, but it just never gets old.

I played WoW for a year a while back, and recently tried going back to it. It just doesn't feel the same anymore. It takes too long to level up despite how many times they're claimed that they decreased the time it takes. The only way I would recommend it is if you have friends that you know will be playing it for a while.
