[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 2806210, member: 15651"] Just wanted to add my 2 cents. Not saying that WoW suxx of anything, I'm sure I would get just as hooked on WoW if I had the time (which is why I'm not doing it). I just want to provide my opinions on these points: I think that is true for many groups, but is DM dependent. That's what my minis are for Can't really argue with that. WoW gives you a computer tutorial. In D&D I do the same for new players, easing them into the more complex issues. Not always a good thing. I cherish the times I level up in D&D. I anticipate them eagerly and enjoy the leveling up process. If it becomes instant and easy, it just becomes, "hey, look! I did it again!" Sorcerers seem to be simple spellcasters to me. Complicated fighting: I guess you haven't played with some of the people I have. OK, again with the visuals, it isn't usually worth the effort for a DM to try and make cows look unique and the players understand they are just cows. You kinda forgot the $40 to buy the software, and then how much per month? I spent less than $50 on D&D this year, and I'm the DM. Admittedly I didn't get to play very often this year, of course that's another plus for WoW - play when you want, not when your group can all schedule it. [/QUOTE]
