So, I finally did it. I installed and began a ten day trial in the World of Warcraft. I have developed some thoughts on this universe and felt compelled to share them through the interblags.Disclaimer: These are my immediate reactions. I reserve the right to change opinions at any time, because my brain allows me to do so.I began playing MMORPG's about two years ago through a game called Dofus. It is a relatively simple design, that deals with things in turn base fashioned. This is where my roots are, you must give credit to the roots, no matter how silly they may seem. So some of my initial reactions may stem from the fact that WoW is just different that Dofus. I appreciate these differences.
WoW is clearly a pretty pretty pretty gaming environment. I love to look at it. WoW has an endgame in mind. WoW for me at this point does not require mindless grinding and appears to have a mature community for me to experience.
WoW is difficult to start playing. I selected a character and I don't think it is quite right. I have read descriptions of all the other characters and they just don't seem quite right. How I wish it were fixed: a quiz about how I prefer to play the game. i.e. do you like being a primary damage dealer?, Do you like long range spells? Do you like being relied on as a primary healer? Are you tall, short, bearded, like the cold. etc... People keep telling me to choose a character based on my playing style. I need something to help me figure this out. I know I could create a million and a half characters and test them out, but how do I find the time to do that?
I guess that is it at this point. I know discussing opinions on WoW is probably pretty sensitive, and people might think I am crazy... who knows in 2 years I may still be playing and wishing I could rid the blogoverse of this post. Meh.
