Quit once for a year, eventually came back 14 months ago and quit again 5 months ago. Different reasons to play WoW and to play D&D.I play D&D because :-I love it.-I really like fantasy settings, creating stories, characters and having the power of interact with those environments.-I'm a very creative person, and this kind of thing really helps to unleash all those ideas that run through my mind the entire day (somewhat related to my second point).-I play it with my friends. It's what forged our friendship 8 years ago and well, we keep playing, after everything that has happened, individually and to everybody. It's true that, being older, we got responsabilities, less time overall, but we manage to get at least twice games running each month. I had played some Spanish RPGs when I was 12 (almost 13 years ago) and after four years of not playing anything, some classmates and me gathered and one of them was a Rolemaster player, so he started to DM for us. Then I took the lead with Lord of the Rings. I kept hearing about D&D, THE RPG, but couldn't find books anywhere. Tried to find used ones by some stores, but no luck. Then some guy I barely knew said that he had the basic AD&D set (just player handbook) and he decided to just give it to me. There I started my D&D career till now (I've DMed other games, but D&D is what I like). After all those years and problems, we still enjoy hacking and slashing some enemies. Ah, nostalgia.Why I play(ed) WoW?Well, I've played all Blizzard games online (Since first Diablo) so WoW was next. However, it's too time consuming and the pressure (I was GM of a Molten Core raiding guild when that was the top thing the first time I quit; And a retribution palading in a Black Temple/Hyjal raiding guild the second time I quit). It's a masterfully done game, with plenty of things to do. It seems you never run out of things to do. A very complete and enjoyable hobby. But again, too time consuming overall. Spending a few hours working on spreadsheets to enhance my DPS is fun at first, then you realize it's too much.I think that comparing them is kinda comparing apples to oranges. Yes, both are fruits, both serve a similar goal, but they are so different in the end...(Apples are better).Ok, that wasn't short, but it sure made no sense!</blockquote>
