I played World of Warcraft for roughly 3 years. After two years of rocking a Warlock and Warrior, I found myself playing a Paladin when the expansion came out. I lost alot of interest with the game as it became less fun and more work. So I've let my account stay frozen for about 6 months now and am itching to play it again. But i found some relief in the Too Human demo which was released on XBOX Live a while back.
Maybe it's the Loot, and finding those nice shiny blue items of random mobs, or it's the tiered tech trees. Either way i've bonded over this demo with a few people who like myself are recovering WoW addicts and they also agree that it's a nice way to ween yourself off it.
Though the game doesn't hold the same type of community aspect as WoW does, maybe Silocon Knights and Microsoft will realize what they have waiting for them if they decide to make the next installment massively multi-player.
I've also read quite a bit of bashing about the gameplay mechanics and I see where they are coming from but at the same time would those expectations be there if it wasn't as over hyped?
This is one game I personally can't wait to get a hold of and thankfully I only have to wait a very few number of days!
To bad there aren't any skimpily dressed Nightelves or Bloodelves running around...
If anything, see if you can snag a copy of Hellgate london. Same type of game, but funnerer.
