If anyone cares I have been playing the WotLK beta for a month now and it is amazing ...

You may bask in my Blizzard glory.

Damn you

/shakes fist

I have been suckered back into the hell hole of no life that is WoW.
Leveling is tons faster since I last played it (almost two years ago

)

Refer a friend and try to level again - they are giving three times XP for both characters if they party together AND allow you to level a third character using 50% of the level achieved by the first character FOR DOING NO WORK AT ALL.

So if you levelled two characters to 60 then you could make a brand new level 60 for no work at all!!!

And it takes about 1 day to level a char from new to 60 using the 3x XP boost.

Get ready for WotLK, it's just amazing!!!

or give it up and start again with a real MMORPG - Mythic are soon to release Warhammer Online (Mythic wrote Dark Ages of Camelot, the game that Warcraft ripped off with its classes !)

Seriously though, Dark Ages of Camelot was light years ahead of Warcraft, but WOW was a great easy introduction with slightly dumbed down characters (WOW is a great game , if it sounds like I'm dissing it, it was just not a patch on DAOC).

Warhammers going to be a beauty, hope to see you there when I get home.

From what the developers are saying themselves - WAR is more of a PvP game than a PvE game. Which unfortunately discounts me straight away, I can't stand PvP

yeah that's fair enough..

Dark Ages did PvP a lot better than WoW, but I know exactly where you are coming from.

I am waiting for all the players who have used up all their free month to come back to WoW to be honest.

I'm actually quite sad, I was hoping that WaR would be a game I could goto when WoW bored me ... it seems now it won't be

yeah, I haven't played it yet though, so can't say for sure - but something that DAOC did very well was make PvP a real option.

best way to explain it is that people had to warp into the pvp areas from the normal game (like from camelot to the battlefield).

It was impossible for pvp players to attack people playing pve
