IMHO opinion, the simple answer:
1 - Pay by the month games suck. Idon't care of WoW is popular/doing well, it's one of the few, and I think it sucks actually. Modernized Diablo 2, except you have to pay.
2 - I don't know how many games I've bought thinking they would work on my PC and they don't, or games I wasn't sure would work at all and they go off without a hitch.
3 - Too much emphasis on graphics, not enough gameplay. I am currently playing Master of Magic, one of my favorite games ever, (yesterday for 8 hours straight actually), but BioShock from start to finish is 16 hours.

That is a EXTREAMLY ignorant oppinion and is just one of those annoying attempts to sound elitist 'cause your a Old school gamer. Especcially since Diablo and World of warcraft except for a multiplayer component have very little in common. And the major problem with running a online game where you can support these kind of numbers to play you need to do pay by month. Servers and having a insane amount of content like most Massivly multiplayer games do. Requires a lot of work and requires massive servers just to hold it let alone host several thousand happy customers. And besides there are 8 million happy little WOW players just dying to say your wrong.


Get used to paying for games like you would any other service.

(Oh I don't play WOW by the way or any MMO)

That is a (spelling error)EXTREAMLY ignorant (and again) oppinion and is just one of those annoying attempts to sound elitist 'cause (grammar error)your (and again)a Old school gamer.
---Some people might have the same thought about YOUR opinion as well....
and yes, I am a fairly "old school" gamer - was that supposed to be an insult?

(you have a spelling error here) Especcially since Diablo and World of warcraft except for a multiplayer component have very little in common.
---Little in common? Let's see, pick a character with widely differing play styles, have the chance to join as a group, fight monsters, or each other...you play 1 character who can grow to a very high level, possibly even summon a little helper or two, go to different worlds or areas, etc etc etc I don't have time to prove you are wrong completely - that's just a sample of your uninformed statement.

And the major problem with running a online game where you can support these kind of numbers to play you need to do pay by month. Servers and having a insane amount of content like most Massivly multiplayer games do.
---Hmmm....I think I said I don't care if it's popular and doing well, didn't I? Also, it's one of THE FEW - which is a FACT - look it up please, thank you. Oh, and the KEY words here: "I" and "think" - it is my right to have an opinion, even if you dont' agree with it, which I obviously don't agree with yours. No need to flame, is there sonny?

Requires a lot of work and requires massive servers just to hold it let alone host several thousand happy customers. And besides there are 8 million happy little WOW players just dying to say your wrong.

#1 - I know the kind of work that goes into it. Probably better than you do, friend. But I know when to admit someone is ... older and wiser?
#2 - Yes there are millions of happy lil' players saying I'm wrong. That's why they allow themselves to be swindled. I don't think I was debating that. Didn't I say it was popular and doing well?
#3 - What was the point of your post again?


Get used to paying for games like you would any other service.
---Um, no. Notice I'm not paying, and therefore, not playing? :blink:

(Oh I don't play WOW by the way or any MMO)
---Then why are you talking?

---Elitist? No friend, not until I'm provoked.

edit - I'm not seeing the spelling mistake?
