[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 2905102, member: 5202"] Actually, you can't really say the first sentence. A large portion of the people I know who play WoW (myself included) havedone varying amounts of RPing in their life. Plenty of people out thehre who never picked up a D&D or RIFTS book are playing WoW yes, but it's appealing to those of us who play D&D as well. It helped my fiancee and I keep the RPing itch down during this last year or so w/o a tabletop group. Esp once my guild started using voicechat. Feels more like a bunch of friends sitting around the table adventuring together. The DM doesn't talk much tho and has a billion quests already planned out for us to pick up at will. Or we can work on exploration or fighting other players or crafting nifty stuff. WoW is dominating all the other MMOs b/c of ease of play, something Blizz is really darn good at. A lot of the D&Disms are still found in WoW and people are fine with them, maybe even enjoy them. The second sentence I can go along with no worries ;) WoW is easier than getting people together, explaining rules, having dices, making sure people remembered characters, etc etc. Instead bring your computers over and we'll have a LAN party and go thru Scarlet Monastery! heh. All that said, I can't wait till I get Ptolus in August and maybe find myself a gaming group again one of these days *sigh* [/QUOTE]
