I Hate WoW

I hate it too. I think the name should be World of Wankers. That seems more suitable.

So i buy it and go home. my computers havent been upgraded in a while, so my good computer only just past the computing requirments. i put the dvd into the disc drive and it starts installing.

1 and a half hours later its finished installing. im not pissed yet because ive been chilling to HIM hangover music (because i like it) and surfing the internet on my shitass 600mhz computer in my room (separate to the pc ive been installing WoW on). i go to create an account, alright thats fine. then a thing pops up-i need to download a 3 GB update. then i recall one of the guys at the toys r us counter said "good game, but hope you enjoy the 3 GB patch". but thankfully the game opens after i click the shortcut on my desktop and i think to myself 'alright, i can still do the basic stuff in the game without the patch.

i log into the game and then it says 'please download this patch' which is apparently different to the other 3 gig one im currently downloading. so i exit out of WoW and start downloading the other patch. 10 minutes later, the 3 gig one is stuck on 3mb because "you are behind a firewall" and the other one hasn't started dispite the fact its status says "no errors detected". i canceled both downloads, took the trial dvd out and left it somewhere i dont care about. WoW sucks bigtime. Its a good thing i didn't buy the real deal or i would be paying for account that i cant use.

i might get warcraft 3 off my friend-ive heard thats much better spec wise and doesnt cost a penny on the internet.[/list]

It's not blizzard's fault you don't know how to forward your ports. It's got nothing to do with whether it's a decent game or not.

Why do you say that, and if you're uninterested, why are you trying to use a free trial?

Yes the installation is a bit long especially for those trials they release sometimes. but it went smoothly for me with no errors. It's probably just your computer.

i didit like WoW myself and yes i played it on a shared account

after playing the game for a week i didit care to much for the game nor i dont like the fact i would pay for my own account to play

@Kenyon try graveing guild wars good game plus free


free things are good

Meh.

Any of these completely immersive type of games are for people with too much time on their hands.

Eg. If you are playing Second Life, you most likely could sorely use a first one.

Gamers. Pffft.

I also got that free trial sometime around cristmas and I didnt really have a problem with the huge freakin patch because i was like doing cristmas stuff and I didnt really have any other use for my bandwith. ummmmm so anyway I put the trial on and was imidiatly addicted lol. after playing 14 hours a day for 2 weeks loosing a girl friends and ganning a jelly rolll I began to loos intrest. I agrre with the guy above me. Befoure you take on having a second life you should be happy with your first.

It's a shitty game, alright. Luckily I never fell for it.

Its not WoW that sucks, its the Blizzard Downloader and the P2P software integrated into it. Just disable the P2P thing in the blizzard downloader and you're good to go. I use my friend's account to play so its free for me and its the best free online game I have.
