It seems like a decent enough game, but not worth the risk of it taking over my life. I've seen what meth does to a person and it ain't pretty ... oops, I mean WoW.I can also sympathize with the reports of wading through torrents of WoW shop talk and in-game references. No matter how excited or obsessed one is, I firmly feel it is common social courtesy to not exclude anyone in a given conversation for more than a few moments. Did I just allude to the distinction between nerd and geek? Yup, I think so.What about the game itself?Limited and almost completly static world? Repetitive gameplay? Grinds and farming? A server full of whiny b*****s?A world populated with  hardcore and noob alike? Sounds kind of lame. The only way to play would be with people I already enjoy and on voice chat.As a matter of fact, I have some friends who play WoW regularly with actual acquaintences using voice chat. Although this seems infinitely better than playing with random strangers on the internets, (read: may include snotty teenagers who aren't very interesting to talk with) it still seems a far cry from the joy of a tabletop game to me.I mean, given the choice would you rather have real sex or phone sex?I'll take the real sex every time.Come to think of it (no pun intended), if I couldn't have the real sex I'd rather just play Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Morrowind, ToEE, KOTOR, System Shock, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy this, or DragonQuest that. At least all the douches in those games have well written dialogue. Plus, they end eventually. This leaves me free to , you know, have some sex or pursue something equally engaging.</blockquote>
