World of Warcraft?

I've met lot of people talk about this MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) being very addictive so i actually went ahead and tried it...

My opinion. Music is pretty nice, graphics are nice too. load speed. game play. they are all nice. It's got stuff that people will like about but I just didn't get hooked.

It wasn't very fun to raise levels... almost all RPG make you deal with this but just wasn't enjoyable at all. I prefer FF kinda way better maybe because i'm from Japan, but those actually let you see how much before next level and level up is more frequent.. WOW was a little too slow on that area..

another point was that you had to ask and look for people who'd give you quests...well.. you know i don't really want to WORK inside the game... i do some stupid job that doesn't make a single money in real life in return for money to be used inside game... killing monsters and selling some goods were another way.. maybe there are more ways to make money if i continued but i just didn't get enough push to actually wait/play until i go there.

seems like there is absolutely no story.... I'm a film guy.. a media guy.. i like to think. So I do need some story at least.. i have to be learning something or be thinking about something.. but i never got that kind of feel from it.

lastly... the world is too huge.. i just never wanted to walk back and forth between towns...and other places like mines, farms, etc... takes way too much time.

i got to like the third town at level 10 and i just stopped right there because it just gave me too much time and headache raise levels...total play time probably was like more than 10 hours.. i really tried to get into this game man...
(each monster probably took about 2-3 min to kill and think if i had to do that 10 times.. or 30 times or 100 times..before proceeding to a next journey which you can really tell if it's going to get good..

I tried a couple MMORPG already but none of them seems to be like my thing..
i'd rather spend more time in the real life..but if you are okay with walking and if you can be patient maybe this is your kind of game..
