But i'm afraid WoW just didn't grab me. The idea of paying a monthly subscription doesn't grab me. I'm quite a fickle gamer that will shift into what I call 'Gaming Cycles'.

Theres a huge difference with GW's and WoW. I played GW for 2yrs or more and thought i was pretty good in that game, well i was had completed the campaign 4 times got to the end of the campiagn as you would know these games never run out of quests. All my characters were at peak levels i had the best gear you could get back then - this was before the expansions came out. And i owed in PVP. I was a master at it in my own mind probably
So i thought i did try out this WoW game it should be no problem for me learning the ropes and getting up in the ranks, boy how wrong was I, i see myself still a noob in WoW, Im okay questing and the odd ganking (killing other players) but im no where in top form, i have greens and blues as my gear which is considered still pretty noobish.
Best part of WoW is ganking others. Horde v Alliance players you must play the game on PVP servers not those wimpy Normal or PVE but roll a character on PVP and then your see how good this game is. Nothing better than running in an area like Stranglethorn Vale questing when unknown to you theres an Alliance Rogue in Stealth mode creeping up on you then stabbing you in the back! - Notice WoW has the jump option compare to GW, Im sure they put this in cause thats the first reaction you do when getting hit by a player you jump like crazy in a wide circle in my case being hunter with a sniper rifle i jump in circles shooting at him while my pet saber cat is having him for dinner - I dont always come out the winner especially those Hated Gnome players with that ability they stun you only to then watch this little guy about 2feet in length owns you. Anyways I got alot of respect for Rogue players, its a good character to master. Sneeky bast**ds. But there is so much to do in WoW, the good gear the instances/raids the professions and you can also be bad and hated
Now and then i'll head to an Alliance area and gank the noobs happily questing away - I just love to ruin their day
The $40 for two months gameplay is not alot when you think about it, I just head down to the computer shop and buy the gamecards. GW is free cause it is so limited compared to wow that its not worth charging for, I mean you cannot get ganked in GW when you do the campaign no one can harm you only time you want to challenge other players is you have to enter a PVP match. Pretty basic but kids will probably loved that way.
