why do people still play WoW?
>> Anonymous
It combines a subpar RPG with a popular franchise. Why do you think the "World of Starcraft" April Fools Joke made so many fanboys wet their pants?

sure it's a very successful franchise...but I think blizzard are pretty dull when they only develope games in the series warcraft, starcraft and diablo...it might stagnate in the end...or mayhaps people will want feel at home with game-enviroments and worlds that they recognize...I dunno

I present to you the arguement (though probably better for /v/) is that the reason Blizzard has been so successful is that they've been sticking to the three major franchises that made them big in the first place with little deviation.

Trouble is, it almost seems now with WoW, they have all their attention focused on a single game with very limited potential. Doesn't help that practically most of WoW's original development team as well as ALL of Diablo's has jumped ship.

Because pathetic worker bees get addicted to replacement grinds of their real life grind of school and or work and they can't help trying to attain success with a false sense of accomplishment

Because it's fun.

One really needs more resson than that?
It's actualy a fairly obvious question. I could ask why people play the grand theft auto games. Personaly not my cup of tea. Were I to ask why people play it. I'd get the same answer.

Personally I like Guild Wars more. Plus it's free.

Because some people feel the need, the insatiable urge, to fail at life so hard that they play an MMORPG.

Furthermore, they play an MMORPG that you need to pay money for, which strongly reminds me of phone sex, only that phone sex is more beneficial.

Some people seek to fail.

Ive been playing since like 2 weeks after it came out. I dispise it, I hate it soooo much. Nothing to do, and what little there is, its extremely boring. Why do I play it? Because nothing else is catching my eye right now and it sucks because companies are gonna copy the wow formula so your gonna get the same shitty game soon.

I play Guild Wars and WoW. Its not a matter of preference because they're entirely different games when it comes down to it. I don't pay for WoW because Its not my account. I play it because I enjoy the world created for it, though, I prefer Guild Wars' mission based quests, I feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Well i played for 2 months and cancelled recently since i spend most of my summer outside. I'll probably get back this autumn.

The game is good, immersive and quite deep (i didn't had the time to PvP though).

But, Blizz seems to focus their attention mostly on raiders and new raid content than balancing the game and economy. A raider would probably state the opposite, but anyway... :)

Also the tech support is not so good and the server queue and offline realms are hell.

That's 15$/month for ya!

I used to play wow, but I dropped it in favour of personal Japanese study.

Now I bot as a hobby.

Because people still have faith in the fantastic game promised and beta and at the core of the current game, the game that grinded to a halt when nearly all of its original developers jumped ship, the game that has been shat upon by EQ-failures and subpar replacement devs.

I did for about a year and a half. I've finally realized that WoW is going to be nothing like that orgasmic game in Alpha and Beta. Some people evidently take longer to realize this.

This is a victorious gif. WoW is for faggots.

*shrug* I enjoy it. I have a couple of characters that I enjoy roleplaying, it's a pleasent enough distraction when I've got the free time, etc.

And, really, folks: Not only are we trolling through 4chan, but we're posting, participating. In 4chan. In /gif/, no less, which is arguably /b/'s estranged cousin. We all fail at life. ^_^
>> Jhoh! !9J6Xe7Aqf.
/b/ isn't related to /gif/, just a lot of /b/tards moved in (strangely enough it happened after I left 4chan to play WOW non stop for a few months).

The game preys on the addictive personality of the player. It's quite simple, really. The game isn't fun; it just eggs on the human desire to want more and be greedy. Piece of shit.
