Just kidding...but there are definitely a lot of people around here (technical university campus) who play and I just dont understand how they can hide in their rooms all day and play WoW.

I played WoW for a few months... got to lvl 80 in a month and did some raiding and found that the game sucked compared to FFXI. In my opinion the average quality of players isn't that good, even in "good" guilds because everything is nothing more than a gearfest.
I think the problem stems from the fact that its way too easy to level and get end-game equipment. It doesn't take too long to get respectable gear, and afterwards players get into an epeen frenzy and sabotage raids because they don't care anymore.
One good thing is that there were relatively few RMT's, probably because its so easy to get money that its not worth the RMT's time. FFXI had lots of RMT because it was very difficult to get currency. WoW lasted longer than Guild Wars for me, max level in a week and quit two weeks afterwards...
I'm still waiting for the next big Japanese MMO that I can play a few years, not just a couple of months. Maybe if they made a Dragonquest MMO...

I hear yas Red. I have been a gamer for a long time. I have played various games. Beta'd a few. Usually what gets me hooked on a game isn't the actual gameplay itself, it is usually friends I make in the game. I end up logging in and screwing around with them for hours on end. Like trying to stealth into Org as a lvl 40 druid only to be killed by the guards. LOL I really miss this game I used to play back in the day called Asheron's Call. Now that was a game in its day. Star Wars Galaxies was a good game until they nerfed it and made getting a jedi too easy. 
Guild Wars is a laugh. I only played that when WoW was down for matinence. I tried Lineage 2. Beautiful graphics. Crap gameplay. I wanted to try Vanguard or LOTR Online, but I heard through the grapevine that they weren't worth wasting money on.
