World of Warcraft question

The only games in the future I see as being contenders are Guild Wars 2 or Star Wars The Old Republic. Both of these games will not be out for some time, however. Also, from what little I have seen of The Old Republic, it does not impress me. Guild Wars two is at least talking about a lot of evolved game mechanics(phasing, no healers) plus no subscription fee.

As I understand it, LotRO is the game to go to for PvE. I couldn't get into it, myself, but I'm not a huge fan of traditional MMOs.

Dungeons & Dragons Online is my fantasy MMO of choice. The game is fun as soon as you land in Stormreach, quests scale to match your party composition, there are different difficulty levels for each quest, most of the quest areas are designed in an interesting way with branching paths, random boss mobs and secret areas, and most importantly the game is just plain fun to play.

I didn't mind AOC when it first came out till about level 30. At that point I got bored and started hitting the grind. My big problem though as someone who likes to roll alts was the starting area. It got boring the second time around.

That was my biggest gripe as well. I enjoyed it the first time through, but it was a chore after that.

I hear good things about LOTR and it will be free in the fall I think. I just don't think anyone can match Blizzard. They put out great games and take care of their customers. They are like Valve. Look at how much extra content they give you as part of the subscription fee. Sony very rarely did that--they typically charged you 20 dollars for an expansion.

I am excited for Guild Wars 2. I loved the first one.

Sony isn't the best company when it comes to being grateful. Look at Turbine, there has been a ton of book updates for free.

I don't know about those other games, but playing wow is just living in a farytale

I prefer PvP so I though Warhammer is/was awesome. MMO games are not known for having good AI, so I can't imagine PvE being enjoyable for me.

I never got into PVP, but then I prefer my gaming easy and without challenge. I use it to relax so being beaten in battle is more annoyance than something I welcome. I think this is why I got bored with raiding so quickly.
