6 years of WoW for me, glad Tera and GW2 will be of interest in my opinion, come from Tichondrius


During the WotLK expansion I was a part of the server merge to Tichondrius.
I was with Sharks Wit Lasers Pew Pew. I was a Ret Paladin, Butthurth.

I'm gong to stretch the definition of MMO, so bear with me:

My timeline:

1) Diablo II (about 6 months)
2) WoW (off and on since release)
3) Monster Hunter Tri (about 6 months)
4) DC Universe Online (about 2 months)
5) Guild Wars (less than a month)
6) SWTOR (about one month)
7) TERA

I've fallen back to WoW periodically over the past six years, but I really feel it's crashing with the Cataclysm expansion. I mean, I downed Deathwing for the first time the other day, more out of boredom than anything, and had no feeling about the experience whatsoever. No jubilation. No satisfaction. I don't even think I smiled. The whole expansion just seems...lifeless.

Out of all the games I listed above, my fav is probably Monster Hunter Tri, so I'm excited that TERA has a comparable combat system (i.e. no tab targeting).

My least favorite was easily Guild Wars. *shivers* The combat in that game was just so, so bad.

I've checked out most major MMO's since they stopped being MUDs.

Hoping Tera will have staying power as I don't really put GW2 in the same genre and MMORPG's seem to be falling off a cliff after this.

Failing this I guess trying out Planetside 2 or waiting for a time long into the future when Bethesda finally gets the rights to make Fallout Online.

I remember hitting that point, around last year, where I began to wonder whether I was beginning to grow out of MMOs. (The thought literally depressed me) So I took a break and tried console games, but then gave up after about two hours. I couldn't do it.


It didn't depress me at all. I bought Skyrim and rediscovered just how much I missed having the immersion of a single player game.

I felt similar. I think I discovered that it is not that I am growing out of MMO's, is that I want a game again that has tremendous depth.

I want to play 2-3 hours a night, and be on a long arduous journey that has an epic feel.

I do not want to be max level in 2 weeks. I do not want to be participating in end game content in 30 - 60 days.

I couldn't care less about being the best player out there.

Keys, Flags, - real progression. Epic quests that take 20 gaming hours to complete. With truly Epic rewards atached to them.

The less instant gratification, the better for me.


Well, that's not me at all. I really, really dislike grinds and a lot of the time when people say they want difficulty what they mean is a long, tedious grind of some sort. I am a career altoholic so if something is a pain in the arse to complete with one character it inevitably means that I'm going to end up frustrated having to repeat the process across multiple characters.

I enjoy leveling and playing different classes, that's really about it. End game for me is just that: the end of the game. I have never enjoyed raiding except for a brief period of time I was with an awesome guild. Even then it wasn't about the joy of raiding it was enjoying hanging out with a bunch of cool people who happened to be raiding. I spent at least half of my WoW career PvPing so that's out of my system. Rift seemed like it had a ton of things to do at max level, but in the end it just became a grind like everything else.

I promised myself that if Tera ever starts to feel like a grind and I find that I have to fight to muster the interest to log on to play (like I did with Cataclysm and Rift) that I'd quit and that is still the plan.

"WoW players are carebears they ruin everything they are so immature WHAH WHAH WHAH!"

The majority of people who played WoW and would come to a game like this are people who started playing it very early on, when we were young, when it was supposedly fun, and before it became a fluffy cupcake of carebear entrails. Don't blame all of us who have played WoW for years, sticking with it more than likely due to friends and familiarity, for the few people who bandwagon onto a game like TERA and are disappointed that it isn't just like their beloved mushy WoW experience or whatever and cry for all your "WoWinization nerfs." Just because the game is now populated by 12 year olds who cry everytime you look at them wrong, doesn't mean everyone coming from the game is like that. 95% of the population represented or not, your generalization is not very useful in this case.

I have been playing mmos since The Realm came out when i was still in high school@@. This is just going to be another in a long list of games I have played which Wow was on that list. I have to say of all the recent mmos that have come out this one has proven to be the most fun. I just hope they do a good job with the constant content updates and it doesnt end up like wow were we wait 2 years for expansions. EQ 1 had the best model I have ever seen with the expansions every 6-9 months@@ Normally asian games like this one dont charge for the new content im looking forward to seeing if they keep that plan on this game as well.

You and your friends willingly participated in that fluffy cupcake of carebear entrails when there were tons of alternative MMO outlets that were not fluffy, nor a small dessert. As a result, you and your friends have lost any right what so ever to try and separate yourself from the population of that rainbow barfing joke of an MMO.
