46 rogue, but I haven't played it in a couple weeks. I just have no motivation to level. I guess I'm not much of an mmorpg'er.

I quit about two months ago. Had a level 50 warrior on Illidan but left that server because it was a gankfest, then got to 60 with another warrior on Cenarion Circle. I'm the kind of guy who loves the levelling and exploring but hates the high level game because I'm a loner, so I can't do any of the cool end game stuff. Once I've explored the world, there's really nothing left I can do without joining a guild, and I'm just not someone that makes many friends. I really miss the game sometimes, but by the day I finally quit for good, it was more frustrating than anything. I think I spend more time being miserable than having fun. Figure I'll stick to single player games from now on, because I went through exactly the same thing with EQ and SWG.

This game has taken ahold of me like no game I've ever played before. Blizzard has the magic touch. If they're still making games when I'm 70 I'll buy em.
The Thing that makes WoW so great is the challenge comes from learning to play your class correctly, and when in instances, knowing your party's strengths, weaknesses, and limits. The more skilled each party player is, the better chance of survival the group has as a whole. Quests actually mean something, in game currency has an actual value, and there is never a "low point" in the game. The Horde Vs Alliance PvP model makes it all the more sweet at the end game as well =) I love not having to grind for levels like I did in previous MMO's. *quietly stuffs playoff from blizzard into his pocket* |

Im playing it right now and it's addicting. Every MMORPG that I've tried to play has been exhausting but this one is fast paced and it just works. Now if it was like Guild Wars and you didn't have to pay a monthly fee then it would be the best... but alas it is not...

monthly fee is worth IMO. It makes sure that they stay on top of things, constantly improving the game. There is no end product to WoW, it is a dynamic world.
I'm off to lvl my mage, I finally found some buddies to enact the plan basically 3 arcane mages, 2 priests and many many mobs at same time. I am averaging 15k exp every 25 minutes so almost 40k per hour. At 30's/40's thats pretty nice, and it will only get better .

Doesn't matter. I'm not the type to buy the cheap version of anything. I do think I'll probably go the Best Buy Card route, for the no interest thing, but I've been buying the sh*t out of other home electronics lately, so I have to wait a few months. I was planning on building my own rig, but my Chiefs season tickets shot that budget. I'm currently on an old AMD Athlon 750 Gateway, that's been suped up as much as is worthwhile, but it just doesn't have the processor to handle that game. I tried to install it, and it wouldn't even finish the install.

It's a tough call. Like I said, I'd prefer to build my own, even though I probably don't know near enough to pull it off. If I could put components on my Best Buy card, I would go that route.
