Why do you like WoW?

[Occhidiangela]

The social aspect is one of the main attractions in WoW and MMORPG's in general, I would think.  That's one aspect that doesn't appeal to me (I don't get along with people generally and am somewhat of a hermit) so I'm better off playing single player RPG's with well-written stories.

Do you realize that you answered your question, at least in part, before you asked it? ;)

In any case, don't feel as though you "should" like WoW just because it is set in the Warcraft world. RPG/MMORPG games each offer a different flavor to gamers, which is a distinctly different flavor than RTS.

As Cryptic notes, you might want to look into Guild Wars for several reasons.

1. No monthly fee
2. Level grind ends at 20
3. PvP has a greater focus.
4. TEAM PvP is the focus. Caveat: You may again find that your preferences as a "Lone Ranger" being the limiting factor in your depth of enjoyment.

I have yet to fall in love with WoW, but that is partly due to lack of time to play budgeted agianst other things that I do. You are right, it takes some immersion and a serious time investment to "get into" the game.
