There are morons in all games so lets not go there folks.
Wow don't have the best MMO community but not the worst either.
The main reason people play it is because it is really well programmed, everyone can play it regarding on age, skill or computer.
It is kinda the Beatles of MMOs. That is of course also it's problem because the game is very generic and catering for almost all people so I kinda think that it is too easy for me, I prefer a big challenge. Others don't and that is fine too, we all like different things.
Wow is very well made thanks to first Strain and then Kaplan, they are the real key to Wows success because there are other MMOs out there that are as good but they are all (Except Guildwars, and it is made by Strain also) nowhere near as well programmed. If EQ2 had those guys or LOTRO, Vanguard, AoC.. that game would have been the big game now. People rarely realise how much a great head dev affect the game.
Just look on the most sold western MMO list:
1. Wow (Strain, Kaplan). 2. Guildwars (Strain). Whats make those games successes are that they have few buggs and have good mechanics. They work. That doesn't mean that they are the ones that are funniest to play but they still sell most games. The key to success is having a great leader and a good team, that and currently 3 MMO devs have that: Blizzard, Arenanet and Bioware.
The next big MMO will most likely come from one of them, even though I have to admit that CCPS crew is learning fast, so it might be WODO also even though it is less likely.
Because the pvp mechanics are second-to-none in MMO history, the game-world is constantly changing, Blizzard never follow a formula with their levelling methods and the ultra-realistic nature of the graphics are breathtakingly beautiful.
That and the mature, friendly and helpful community make it simply the best there is.
Either that or because Earthrise, Fallen Earth or Huxley have been released yet and everything else I've tried has just been diet-WoW.

Your defense of WOW borders on fanatical. Everyone who posts something negative about the game receives a huge reply from you detailing the games's features ad naseum.
You have 11-12 million people on your side, there's no danger of the game losing even one person from reading something in this forum, yet you defend the game with a zealotry that borders on unreasonable.
Sure, I defend EVE, (mostly for fun and entertainment) and trust me, while EVE players are known fanatics about the game, you take things to new limits, frequently espousing all of the great features WOW has when its not even the topic of the OP. (though in this case it happened to be)
All games could do without this sort of zealotry, (perhaps especially EVE) and truth is, most WOW players I've known and gamed with were pretty cool folks.

Love it or hate it , you cant escape the fact that WOW has single handedly had the biggest impact on online gaming since Online gaming began, I played it a few times up to level 40 on a few different toons, but hav'nt really gone any higher.
Thats just me though I jump from game to game .. seems to keep it fresh for me. I do spend more time in Lotro tha any other game , thats probably because I'm a huge Lord of the Rings Fan.
At the end of the day you just have to respect WoW and Blizzard because what they have done ids remarkable in this age of quick fix and instant gratification, Hats of to them I say ! WoW is still King and will be for along time to come i think , that is until Blizzard release another game !!!
bleh, thanks Zorndorf... I'll just PM those that I wanted to disccuss the game with, this thread is junk because of you. Last thing I wanted to see was what has happened and now the eve thing is in this thread. Oh well...
