you should judge a game by the game itself rather than by the people who play it or by what other people think of it
personally i think WoW is pretty good. not my kind of game, though, too much stuff to learn, too much strategy and tactics and planning to get good. as a noob, it kicked me in the nuts. i played the 10 day trial and played all the characters, and got bored very easily. i had uhh goron and skele help me out a bit which was cool but it got boring sucking so much.
i'd really like to be able to like, play in a private server with some (RL) friends who haven't played it before either so we could all learn together, and do quests and shizz. i think that'd be really awesome and fun. it was definitely discouraging playing in public servers with all the good people that know what they're doing while i sit their puzzled. ehh.
also, commas + periods are your friends!
