Me and my friend were going to try World of Warcraft, but we never did. I made a character at my cousins, and it was kinda fun, but he quit the game because it demanded a lot of his life. I'm not easily sucked into games, I can quit playing if I want, but I want to know, what are the highlights of the game, and is it worth paying $15 a month? Thanks!
It's worth $15 if you can find people to play with with other wise you could skip on it since playing by yourself is kinda shit
(By lord does playing by yourself get so boring especially for paladins)
Do you have self control?
Then you won't get sucked in. I'm sick and tired of hearing people say they get "sucked in". It's not that fucking hard to put the game down.
Yeah, I have self control. In fact, I get bored pretty easily. Is there a variety of stuff to do? And will I meet people who are actually decent and not just idiots? Because I like to develop standing relationships with people. Also, I don't really know many people around my city who play the game.
You don't need anyone around your city that plays.
As you level to the cap you will meet hundreds of people, of all ranges. Idiots, jerks, quiet, loud, annoying, and friendlies. You just have to buckle down and be ready.
I can deal with idiots and jerks. I don't like idiots and jerks who think I'm their friend and constantly bug me.
There is an ignore feature for a reason.

Good luck with that. I used to play this game, and it wasn't even overly fun, but it was extremely addicting.

it's not the game's fault you have no self-control.
Don't bother paying, play on private servers.
They have almost just as many players as well.
I find this game to be the opposite of addicting (levelling anyway). At times I need to force myself to keep playing on to level at the same rate as the friends I played with.
You shouldn't have any problems with getting addicted if you're not a drone.
I played it and after some months of play i got bored because you allways do the same stuff kill that amount of mobs, run to that place etc.
But somehow i sometimes want to play it but then i say to myself its not worth my money it only gets boring again. So my opinion for you is that you shouldn't buy it save your money for something else.

lolno
Private servers have large amounts of hackers, large amounts of game breaking bugs, and donation gear that makes the person donated more powerful than everyone else.
Private servers are either funservers with instant level 80 and a race to get the most overpowered custom gear on the server to one-shot everyone else in PvP.
And Blizzlike servers, totally not worth it. Either shit doesn't work, or there's not enough people to really make it fun at all.

He nailed it right on the head.
As for private servers, I have played some good ones but it will take some time to find one to your tastes. On the plus side everything does go faster if you're into short-time, high-reward kind of gimmicks. It's an acquired taste I suppose.
I played for about a month but I had no one to raid with or even grind with so it got boring very fast.
It especially sucks until you get to about level 25, right after you get your mount.
I felt it was worth it when I started, lol since beta. After seeing how much money I've given Blizzard, I've decided to move to FPS that are free and just as much fun. Besides, after 80 I didnt see the point on paying $15/mo to farm stuff. But guild raids were fun and worth the price per month.
lol i'm looking to see my toons if you're interested.
If it's worth it is entirely up to the person thats in front of the screen with wow open. My view is that LIVE realms are not worth it. Private servers give the same amount of fun and joy.
save yourself the stress and money. imo no its not worth it i got bored playing it stopped came back stopped you get the point once you reach 80 your gonna say man i could have played a real game and wouldent have to pay $175 dollars a year not including 20 dollars to buy the game 30 dollar expansion and another 50 dollar expasion followed by a new 60 dollar one.

Idiot.
I've spent just over $270 alone in the last 4 months on my Steam account.
$50 - $60 come out to being just as expensive, and lasting no where near as long as WoW does.
I'm tired of people acting like $15 is some big ask. For the amount you pay you get a massive potential of hours played. Acting like a $50 expansion is a lot is a joke. When it was new i bought MGS4 for about £50 which is about $70 (pure guess). In 2 days I had finished it. Sure I did half the game with the stupid achivement stuff (not killing/not getting spotted) before i got bored but I'd guess it was still only about 40 hours played. If you have the time you could easily spend upto 5 hours on WoW a day, but even if you were to only spend 2 hours per day adverage you'd end up with 60 hours over that month. It's far more cost effective than most new games.
If you can't afford that then maybe you shouldn't be playing any video games.
