Not yet...

Heard nothing but good things tough..
Is it only multiplayer?
Just I like to play that sort of game in work, but the damn proxy

Yeah its only multiplayer on blizzards servers which is why you have to pay a subscription every month or something.

Not my cup of tea to be honest but from the mates i know who play it they say it is very addictive

Yeah too addictive, I don't have that kind of time to kill- well I do but school would go in the dumps.

My friend got his character to level 60 (the highest level in the game), and he said he felt kinda empty. Like he lost 1000 hours of his life. He said, through the entire game, you really don't have fun. But you expect that every time you level up things will be better because you have access to new areas. I myself played for a short time, but I quite because I thought it was pointless and repetative. I am not somebody's slave, I don't like fetching items for people for hours on end each day.

Then I would have to say most MMORPG's aren't for you. You should maybe stick to FPS games instead. AN MMORPG that you may like, and I disliked, was Shadowbane. No questing, which I found lame. I thought it was difficult to level up fast and get anywhere fast. I know it took me like an hour to walk from one persons town to the next...

But each to his own, right?

Naa, I rather like guild wars.

EDIT: Come to think of it.. GW isn't really an MMO anyway.

hmm, I liked DAOC, so I think I'll like WoW; it has a bunch of the same elements of DAOC (classes, professions, summoning "sickness" etc); might have to preview it first so I won't be too disappointed if it doesn't settle well with me; as for the graphics, it looks great.

I beta tested planetside. Dunno if people still play that though. But from that experience I had no interest in mmorpg anymore. But it is fun for some timekilling. Although I wanted to try wow I just don't have time so coughing up game money plus monthly fees sucks.

Guild Wars is an MMO, but not an MMORPG!

MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online... I think you can figure out what RPG is.

I've managed to borrow a friends install CD's and account to try this game out. Created a character and got it up to level 4. It's kinda fun and seems pretty dynamic with A LOT of options to explore within the game. It's fun with nice graphics, but I can't see buying the game and then still having to pay every month to play it. If I didn't have to pay the monthly fee I would probably play it more.

Aww! You ruined the fun!

WoW is pretty good. I didn't like the idea of paying to play, but I still do. I've been playing it since it came out.

I have a 10-day trial key that Blizzard e-mailed me, to give to a friend. I'd be willing to give that key to someone if A. They can get their hands on a copy of WoW to install it on their system. B. They will end up buying the game afterwards, or as Blizzard puts it, upgrading to a full account. That one expires in November I think. I also have a second 10-day trial that I got with my CE, but that one is going to a local friend.

LOL, I misread what you wrote and thought you were actually asking what RPG stood for, lol

I've been playing since April and really like it. I'm on the Archimonde server. I think that soloing can get pretty repetitive (probably in any mmorpg, although this is my first, so who knows), but I play a priest, so I'm almost always grouped up. The healer role probably suits me best as far as my fun factor goes; it's a little like being the goalie. As nice as it is to get into a strong, balanced group, it's almost more fun to heal for a group that's in a bit over its head. With that kind of group, I get to feel pretty good when I manage to keep them alive!

I think I have a level 15 Human Paladin on that server. I stopped playing it because that server sucks hardcore. It lagged all the time, which I found extremely pathetic.

Hmm, did the bandwidth kept being exceeded? or was the server a piece?
