Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arc" data-source="post: 2078402" data-attributes="member: 12184">I've played the game at its worst: Alliance Paladin on Blackrock (the most crowded PvP server, and with a rare Horde majority), and dear lord, I keep coming back to it. Despite hour long queues to get into the game, despite frequent attacks from Horde PvP gankers, despite having a quasi-language barrier in place (half the server is Australian), despite the occasional bits of horrible lag... I keep going back. It's just that good.I've kinda lightened up my play recently, since school's gotten a bit tougher, and my girlfriend gets a bit unhappy when I choose videogames over her, but I know I'm going to keep my subscription for a while.In all honesty, the game is the best MMO out there. The classes are fairly close to balanced (not perfect, but better than most), the sheer quantity of content is amazing (even though the Alliance gets a little bit more), and the PvP, while occasionally frustrating, is the most thrilling experiance I've had playing a game in a long time. It may seem like I'm highlighting the downsides, but the good bits have already been talked about, and I agree with every word.One last bit: Casual gamers are actually rewarded by XP bonuses, so they can keep up with the truly hardcore. For every few hours spent in an Inn or major City, whether logged in or not, a certain amount of "Rest XP" is gained. When you log back in, enemies you kill while in the "Rested" state provide double the XP, so that you get something similar to a UO "Power Hour" when you don't play for a bit. It won't make you level faster than someone who plays constantly, but it helps keep you from getting left in the dust.</blockquote>
