My trial subscription is over I think tomorrow. I'm at level 7 and I keep getting killed so I'm frustrated and done for the day. I went to Athens this weekend to visit some old friends and one of them plays WoW so I made a character on his server so I could meet him somewhere and I chose a priestess, still a night elf, and I like her better because she sparkles. I met a new friend almost immediately after there we completed a couple of quests and it was fun to work with someone but difficult to type and I'm not really quick with the shields and healing during combat so the group thing didn't last long, but it was really neat. I died a couple of times during combat, but I've figured out to follow the little box in the map to find my body quickly. I'm in Darnassus, but my body is in Ben'ethel Barrow Den somewhere. I don't get very far before dying again and my partner left me but at least I found that quest thing first so I think I'll still get credit for it. Oh, my priestess is level 8, almost 9. But all the monsters in there are 9 or 10 and there're a lot of them!
Oh, and it took me forever to figure out why I couldn't use my bow when I was playing with the hunter. The weapons and stuff go bad after a lot of use, and I ran out of arrows. I didn't know it required upkeep, but I guess it makes sense since this is a 'real' game.
It's also neat how the quests differ slightly with the character's specialties. Or, rather, how the stories for each quest are individualized. I think I've decided rather firmly that I prefer the quests for the sake of exploration and I find it tedius to have to fight with everything to level up. I'm definately not an achiever like that: I like to explore.
I don't really want to purchase a whole month but I've only gotten about 5 days out of my two week subscription and it's kinda getting fun (it's still a new toy and the shininess hasn't worn off yet) so I think I may break down and get one month worth.
I like the graphics, too. It looks like a movie, and there are different characters everytime, so it doesn't get boring as quickly. I played Halo the other day for a few minutes and it got boring very quickly. I like how I can go find my body whenever I die and I don't lose any progress. I do have to go back to the beginning, but not to start over. I see how it could be addictive; it's something to do when there's nothing on tv and I've seen every movie in my collection.
