WoW, Alpha Tester Report ! - Jim - 03-20-2004
Hi
This is a Great Read, posted by a Alpha tester :rolleyes:
Quote:I Was a Teenage World of Warcraft Alpha Tester
(Warning: The following is a big info-bomb. While I have tried not to spoil a lot of the cool surprises beta testers will discover in play, I wanted to give what I felt was a full overview of the game as it currently stands. A good amount remains to be done on the game, but in many ways, World of Warcraft feels fairly complete already, and so the following is Not Short.)

Have a Great Quest,

I want just a "Diablo III" with single-player and 8+ multi-player, and not some fancy MMORPG with Gucci graphics that is multiplayer-only and that costs monthly fees :)

Don't let monthly fees be a reason NOT to buy or play at least one MMORPG in your gaming lifetime...Consider this, you buy a game and play it for 40 hours & that's it, Game Over & on to the Next $50.00 game...sure you can play it on the next 2 Difficulty levels BUT it's Still the same game & you'll be doing the same Quests & killing the same Monsters. Take that Next $50.00 and invest it in a MMORPG it should get you 3 Months of playing time plus the free month that comes with the game...that should hold you till WoW goes Gold :o
MMORPG's have a continuing story that is added to in most games Monthly...I play Asheron's Call 1, been playing for 4 years on and off...Off so I could try the Rest [EQ, DoAC UA, UO, AC2 ETC you get the point] IMHO AC 1 is the Best, Because the DEV team is always THINKING, we get New Content or New Quests "EVERY MONTH" :rolleyes:

Quote:Go Here and DL a MMORPG just to see how Great these Games play I DLed "Anarchy Online" played it for 7 days Had Great Fun, it is a Great Game & if AC 1 & WoW went under this would be my next Game...I see DAoC is not listed too bad that is a Fun Game...also give Asheron's Call 2 a try: :P

Or, on the other hand, you can afford 5 new games every 2 years, instead of paying for a MMORPG. If those games have good multi-player, and mod value, or replayability (Civ 3 comes to mind...), then they could very well keep you busy for 2 years.

Hi
Good Point...>Afford $$.$$ :D
Gamers don't Play just one game @ a time...I'm currently playing beside Asheron's Call 1...>Myst 3 Exile & Dungeon Siege LoA...add to this list...>1 MMORPG demo [AO] & 1 RPG [Sacred demo] & 4 Adventure games [URU, realMyst, Post Mordem, Syberia2, demos] 3 FPS [UT 2004, Halo & the Far Cry demo from PCGamer mag] & Other demos I downloaded in the past 3 months just since Xmas...It's a good thing I'm a "Retired person" who is in his Second Childhood phase of Life :o
Quote:BTW Gamerhell has one of the Best Demo Lists & High speed downloads if you have DSL like I have ;)

I'm right there with ya, but I don't think it's useful for us to drag that thought over here. This is a WoW forum, and WoW is going to be a pay-to-play MMORPG. No use raining on the parade for the people who are into that kind of thing.

Hi KJ,
Yes, I actually played AC1 with KJ and another member from our guild for almost 6 months. I liked the easy leveling system and gameplay. I am not really concerned with the cost of a game, since I actually spend more on coffee and lunch per week than a monthly fee 10 games (comes a point in one's income where some expenses matter little) . I am more concerned with quality of game play. Diablo 2 LOD had a certain "something" which kept me interested for a good 2-3 years. I hope WOW will offer the same interest.
BTW, Sacred is a great game!
