LOL I kinda feel sorry for you. WoW just isn't what it used to be. And are you sure you want that kind of addiction?

And im sure u would like it now with the like 2.6 WotLK patch and all the new quests, pluss, the entire gameplay has pretty much changed with loads more AddOns! If u want i can send u one of my trial codes.

I have a few other alts that I play ever now and then, but the rogue is my "main".

How is everyone finding Lich King?

Part of me wants to go back to see what it's like, but I only came back for 3 mths after TBC, which was fun but ultimately it all seemed a bit pointless in the end... (once I'd got my flyer and had some fun on it :-)

Well, at this point I only buy and play single player games. It seems the online games are designed just to suck money out of peoples' pockets. What I like about box games is: there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. You accomplish a goal. Online games just go on and on and on like some soap opera. So, I avoid them. I mean, box games are designed to take your money too, but they aren't quite as greedy about it.

nah, what I mean is WoW is a shadow of its former self. It's not half as great as it used to be, the add-ons really watered it down. The first year and a half it was out it was a completely different game, much more hardcore as far as end level content, raiding, and pvp. They made it way too noob friendly...

80 rogue - main - Athalus on Kargath
80 lock - alt
various other alts

WoW seems to go through it's ups and downs content and otherwise. I'm in a raiding guild so I enjoy the game for guild interaction and beating hard bosses. There are a lot of features i really like with Lich King. That said, The first boss encounters have been incredibly easy to date. The only real challenge has been Malygos and I think we figured out the solution to him last night. I think Blizz did themselves proud graphically. Certainly, the most beautifully rendered zones to date, imo.

If I had to do it over again I'd roll on a pvp server. Frankly the suspense of having to look over my shoulder all the time adds spice to the game that you don't get on pve servers. That and I think in general pvp server players tend to be better overall (perhaps more spacially aware etc).

As far as WoW losing it's sparkle for people. That's probably a natural progression going from something new to /yawn been there done that.

My biggest disappointment is that rogues in the expansion are no longer the dps machines they were previously. I hope they remedy that at some point or at least balance it out a bit.

If you like the game FEAR and you get a character leveled up enough. Try out Death Knights, the starting questlines are the best ever and they are an extremely powerful class.

I hope you guys saw the WoW SouthPark episode.

Because I am so easily addicted to computer games. I'm not even going to go into the WoW website.
