I am frankly amazed that I still see so much media about World of Warcraft so long after release. They say subscribers are falling, but it's certainly not down to some new MMORPG coming in to steal the show.
I did play the free-trial for a bit, and then I played solo using Mangos for a while...
I could just never get into it though. I think part of the problem, is that something which on the face of it so simple, to play properly is quite challenging. Starting at level 1 with zero gold, the mountain ahead of you to climb is massive and playing casually, just doing what you feel and enjoying the environment is going to mean it takes years to get to the good content.
It struck me that it might be worth buying a decent World of Warcraft Guide so you could speed up the process. Time is such an important commodity in WoW, particularly during the earlier levels, that anything which can speed up the process of levelling and farming has to be worth having a look at.
Even if it's quite expensive, if it cuts the time to get to a level where you can actually start playing properly rather than just grinding and farming.... Well, it can then work out to be cheaper!
Let's say it normally takes 2 years to get to a level of XP and gear to do certain raids? And a World of Warcraft Guide can reduce that by 6 months? That saves 6 months subs, so the guide is worth at least 6 x monthly sub.
Something to think about...
