Should I get World of Warcraft??

Tip for Cosmos: Most of the stuff it includes are crap, so take some time and play with the Cosmos options in the game...then at the character select screen click the Addons button in the bottom left and disable the stuff you don't want.

I have about 75% of Cosmos disabled.

Big bull-like Melee characters. Very honourable.

Don't forget their native-american / hippie side. It's funny, I get upset about WoW not having good RP servers, but then when you step back and realize it's a Blizzard game, you have to ask why would there be?

I went to that site, but didn't see a thorough description/screenshots of what it offers.

Stop ya whinging. They've delivered the product that most people want, same as they always do. If you want a more RP oriented game then I am sure you can find something suitable.

Personally I think you lurrrrve WoW so much that's why you're annoyed the RP servers are weak.

Er... that's what I just said in the post you quoted.

Blizzard has always been the anti-thesis of roleplay, and it's stupid for me to expect it to be a good roleplaying game.

And yes, I am somewhat frustrated that the efforts of a relatively well made MMORPG has been squandered by catering to the Warcraft / Diablo audience.

Hehe I don't think that you've fully admitted that before.

I've always said that the primary reason I don't like WoW is it's poor role-play atmosphere...

[DrSpike]

Yes, but you only just admitted the reason that annoys you is because WoW is so good. After all, if it was pants you wouldn't care whether it had good RP servers.

Not because it is "so good" but because it is relatively good.


And perhaps I shouldn't even just call it "good" it would need good roleplay for me to consider it good - let's say it is relatively good quality, instead.

Are you roleplaying a pedant?

I have yet to see any roleplay in a mmorpg.

I saw a little bit in Everquest 2, and a little less in AO

Ya'll are ignoring me it seems...

I kinda really want to get this game....is it worth it even if you have only about 5 hours for most weeks? I mean, can you still get a lot out of it? And furthermore, is it still good on a lower end computer, like one that can barely play Doom 3?

Does anyone have problems with serious choppiness in city areas? I'm curious as to whether it is lag or my computer. I don't really have a problem with it away from the cities.

I have a Pentium 4 - 2.6 Ghz, 512 mb ram, radeon 9800 pro.

I'm thinking about picking up some more ram.

There's significant load-lag from loading textures from the harddrive for crowded areas.

It's one of the games where having a harddrive RAID set up makes a big difference.
