True story.

Except the PvP part. I played WoW beta as far back as alpha. Our guild was one of the ones selected in the 2nd stage of Alpha when Ironforge opened. You can find old IRC logs on the net from Blizzard chats in IRC and on the beta boards, but BG's were mentioned before the mass beta invites even began.

It was quite clear what this game was to become, and it has. It has inherant flaws in the itemization system, because the PvP aspect of the game was fairly new in beta testing. It was said more then once it was never a true part of WOrld of Warcraft, therefore, you have horrible itemization from a PvP aspect, and in PvE. (the reality of it is, no one gives a shit about it in PvE.)

I have a BWL geared mage, and rogue, and quit raiding when my son was born. About 6 months after that, I quit all together. But, WoW is what it is, its a cash register, nothing more. Everyone can play it, to a certian standpoint, simply because it caters to all kinds of gamers. (WoW in no way shape of form is as hardcore as previous MMO's I played, namely, UO.) 20 hours a week with 40 consistant people, and you can learn most of the encounters in a pretty good time frame. I mean, it took us 3 weeks to down Razorgore and Vael, 9 days later Nefarian was dead.

So, all in all. It's WoW. Hate it, or love it. Personally, I think it sucks.

Open PvP please.
