thanks for the info Aprox.

I deleted Matrix Online, was really let down ... did have some good aspects, but even after all that development it felt too light in places, every appartment you went in looked the same.

WOW does have a similar feeling, but there are some cool moments and I will keep playing

electrickpirate · March 17th, 2005

i played Matrix Online for about a week in Beta. it was months and months ago, so maybe they fixed a lot of things but i wasn't impressed at all with the game. I got rid of it within a week and never had the urge to reinstall it.

anyway, going to best buy right now to pick up WoW........

As far as I know you can access stuff in the bank from any bank in the game. I could be wrong about this though.

I say the game is worth getting, most of the people that play are pretty cool. I have ran into some not so nice people on PVP servers so I try to stick to RP servers.

Aprox you are 100% correct... I like the PVP servers myself, thats the point of being on a PVP server..LOL

Anwyay... I like running up on some poor unsuspecting alliance character, right after he/she gets done fighting a creature and is half dead, and WHAMO suprise, its PVP time

LOL

sorry I cant help myself

Very wrong indeed.

electrickpirate · March 17th, 2005

can you have multiple characters to choose from in your account?

**Petros** · March 17th, 2005

Yes, you can. I've had as many as eight to see all the racial dances and emotes, but I don't know what the cap is. Although you can't have both horde and alliance on a PvP, you can on a RP or Normal server. You can also play on any server you choose, but your character (not your account) is bound to that server (unless you're on Arthas like me

)

**mlakrid** · March 17th, 2005

8 is the max...

**lancer** · March 17th, 2005

ok question, i've been playing eq2 on and off and i'm just bored with it, i also played lineage, swg, matrix online. all of them are boring, i used to play EQ which i loved.

the question is, whats so different about WOW, that will make me say wow, i means what does it do that others don't. I'd like to get into the mmorpg again, but most are crap, so whats so great about WOW?

**VenomXt** · March 17th, 2005

pills... pills make it better..

electrickpirate · March 18th, 2005

ok, got the game earlier. been playing for about 10 hours today.

8th level paladin so far.

i love this game. i think its a lot better than EQ, and MXO.

its seems to me to be a mix of diablo 2, matrix online, everquest, and neverwinter nights, but greater than the sum.

if that makes sense.

**mlakrid** · March 18th, 2005

it is better than most any other MMORPG I have played I have played alot of them FF, AO, EQ, EQII, UO, and now Wow, I think the PVP on WoW has the others beat for sheer enjoyment... ESPECIALLY on PVP servers... It makes going to disputed areas VERY interesting. As well as they are going to give bonuses and nice equipment and Itesm for playing on the battlegrouns when they release it.

**mlakrid** · March 18th, 2005

Also, the one feature I wish they would implement in Wow that they had in Diablo is Melee classes having 2 weapon slots, so you could swithc from one to another.

**Electronic Punk** · March 18th, 2005

well I have a blunderbuss and an axe

**lancer** · March 18th, 2005

i may just have to buy this game this weekend, but i just don't want to waste any more money on a crappy mmorpg, if its just the same. are there any free trials out at the moment so i can try it out?

**Petros** · March 18th, 2005

It sucks to have to buy the game, but your first month is free. Maybe you can find a friend who will let you play a character on their account. It's worth it. A guy here at work played EQ a ton (don't know which one, but he said he had two 70+ characters, or something like that).

Since it's my first MMO, I only have that to go by. It's definitely been fun, though. Just hit 50 and I'm excited for the endgame. The only thing I can say is that you won't be disappointed. The game has so many aspects that appeal to different people's personalities that you can enjoy yourself no matter who you are.

**Electronic Punk** · March 18th, 2005

endgame?

I thought these things keep going on?

**Petros** · March 18th, 2005

Hehe...well, there's an "endgame" (I learn neat terms from MMORPG people) but no end to the game. Endgame just means how the game plays when you max out your character. I don't see a lot of people complaining about being 60 anymore, especially on a PvP. When I hit 60 and get all my gear, it will be a gankfest. I'm gonna run my warlock around with a pally, a priest, and a rogue. Whee!

If you know anyone who has it you can install it and try it out for 30days free.
I think its a great way to decide if you want it or not

**Aprox** · March 18th, 2005

If you know anyone that owns the game they should have gotten a 10 day guest pass for a friend to use, just borrow their cds (which arnt required to play of course) use the guest pass then you have 10 full days to see if you like it.
