Should I buy WoW now?

[Alffallen]

I play/played wow. Currently not sure if im going to keep playing much longer myself.

heres some things to think of.

WoW can take a long time to level up to max.(some can do it in months. others take a year)
WoW will take a big turn at max level and focus mostly on raiding and grouping for harder fights and better gear(items,clothes,weapons,ect.) which can require up to 40 people.

WoW is highly addictive. By the time most people obtain a high level. All they want to do is raid. And raid successfuly. Lotta guild breakups over failed raids ect. Lotta people quit because its hard to get 25-40 people organized.

In the end if you enjoy a game because your a completionist WoW prolly isn't a game I would recomend.

A very small percentage of players have seen end game content in wow. Which usualy are the players so dedicated they will schedual life around the game. Instead of the otherway around.

However if your just looking for a more complex mmo to spend time with friends just relaxing, wow can be great.

Just depends what your looking for from a game.

I think its a good thing that it takes a long time to max, thats the way it should be keeps you occupied and never bored...cough unlike pirates.

You get bored leveling in WoW -- trust me. Played it for 2 years before Burning Crusade (a game expansion) came out. Had a lvl 60 troll rogue, and I've done the whole end game raiding scene. I've scheduled my life around a video game.

And one of the happiest days of my life was when I cancelled my account and shrugged off the addiction.

Do I have game addiction with PotCO? Sure...but I won't schedule my life around it.

WoW's a great game, just remember that there is a real world out there.
