Finally got to 60. Feels kinda bad to be a 60 and have extremelly shitty gear. :(

according to blizzard 5.5 million people.

That chick Kate from Kates Playground plays it a ton.

Irvine, California - 19 January, 2006 - Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.'s World of Warcraft®, the world's leading subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game, has surpassed the one million customer milestone in Europe, more than quadrupling the previously estimated size of the entire European MMORPG market since its launch in February 2005. In addition, World of Warcraft topped the sales charts* for full-price PC games in Europe last year. Worldwide, the game has a growing audience of more than 5.5 million customers.

"It is extremely rewarding to see so many European players enjoying World of Warcraft," said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment®. "The players have supported our belief in the European MMORPG market, and we thank them for helping us make World of Warcraft one of the most popular games in the world."

Available in English, French, and German in Europe, World of Warcraft is operated by Blizzard's local European office. Established in late 2003 and already comprising more than 400 employees and 22 different nationalities, Blizzard Europe - the second-largest Blizzard office in the world - has expanded rapidly to keep pace with the growth of World of Warcraft in Europe.

World of Warcraft has steadily grown in popularity around the world since its initial launch in North America, Australia, and New Zealand last November. Following successful launches in Korea, Europe, China and Singapore, World of Warcraft launched in the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.

He was kidding. He plays it. He's played through it twice the last time I heard.

I Have a Tauren Druid up to 55 along with some other ones all in thier teens or younger but I just quit. Got sick of having to play 6+ hours to get a group together and run an instance.

ahh, well alot of people do play it hehe.

Yeah, that's a bitch for sure. That's why I never ran higher level instances (like BRD/UBRS/Strat/Scholo/etc) until I reached 60. The result? Horrible gear. Don't even want to think about MC/BWL time sinks.

Not that bad, good guilds clear them in 3 hours or so.

To even go to MC/BWL/etc you have to get good gear. Getting good gear (blue sets) is a huge time sink because guilds don't have organized UBRS/etc runs. You have to get a group going and that can take more than an hour sometimes. By the time you cleared the instance in 2-3 hours, almost 4 hours have gone by. I think that was AZ's point. I still like the game, though.

Well, i guess that is true, sorta. I have a 60 rogue on blackhand i almost never play anymore becasue there is no way i am doing instance runs with a bunch of tards that arnet patient and will jsut end up wiping the raid/group. I Did that once for UBRS and let me tell you, i twas a disaster. People dont understand the concept of let the puller pull the damn mob to us.


Though, i am an EQ'er been playing for years. 2 of my nerd friends hubby and wife, kept bugging me to play a online rpg for a while. Well, in th eend i caved n been hooked. lol So, now i am a nerd like them. Proud too. lol

I've run pug UBRS 3 times so far and never wiped. The problem isn't with tards wiping you, the problem is with finding these tards to form a group to begin with.

The server I was on, Horde is very under represented so it's especially hard to get a group together. By the time you do and head to the instance someone always seems to drop. Or if it's the one with "the Princess Run" you'd get there only to have the other faction there camping the entrance. I admit I've been having withdrawls here and there. I spent nearly a year of my life playing this game.

Level an alliance warrior or a mage or a priest on any server and you will have 0 troubles finding a group.

I have a level 60 Paladin on Gorefiend.

DOWN WITH THE HORDE!

OK I restarted my sub. But been bored playing - anyone wanna start a new character on a new server? I have played mostly Horde but have a couple alliance characters under my belt.
