Ok everyone else has done it so one more SURELY can't do any harm...
I bought WoW on Sunday, and after much patching and problems (Im behind a firewall using an HTTP tunnel), I got the damn game working.
I spent the first 50 minutes feeling my heart sink as I had to grind and grind and to do the most repetitive and mundane tasks, and was quite frankly getting bored and failing to understand what all the fuss was all about.
However without realising it I played for 5 hours straight ( my machine crashed during Hour 5)...
The rest is history, over 3 days I have become a druid hellbent on achieving my first shapechange.
Darn it! I have gone from being the cool environmental economist to a raving nerd unashamedly pronouncing my in game victories and encounters with other players to all my friends (I believe the number of "friends" has since fallen significantly)...
Grrr...
So this is my message to any would be WoW players. DONT DO IT - Its EVIL.

I've never really seen the appeal of a online only game that charges about £10 a month for the (dubiously said) 'privilege'
Same here.
Guildwars is simular but as no subscription fees.
You're all missing the points though.
It's a game quite clearly up there as Greatest Game of All Time™
It's unbelievably fun, addictive, goodlooking and pick-up-and-play (a first for MMORPGS)
It's £8 a month. Now, I'd rather pay £8 each month (or £23 per quarter) for a game I know I'm going to keep loving for a looong time, rather than paying £30+ each Month for a sub-standard console game I'll be bored of come the following Month - and believe me, console gaming has really become sub-standard since this game hit retail, hell even before it did, on the Betas!
Anyone who moans about the Monthly fee quite simply must be a complete moron, simple as that.

MMORPGs games are a waste of life.
Simply.
Simply.
Restarted as a Tauren Hunter last night and got the initial grind. Was getting seriously bored. then, leanered skinning, leatherworking, fishing and cooking. It's starting to open up a little now, and I'm getting a grip on the character.
The fees, as far as I'm concerned, allow you to play on the development companies servers. Therefore, they're free of hackers and cheats, or if there ARE hackers and cheats, they get found out qu8ickly, and banned.
8 quid per month for the best game I've ever played in 20+ years of gaming? It's a steal. Those that complain, can't afford it and have the green eyed monster. ;D

And By MMORPG you mean all video games in general?

Yep, or they are too closed minded to even give it a try.
