I had some good times when I played it...some of the best gaming memories I have, also some of the worst. It consumed too much of my life, I was turning in to a fat ass in the 3 years I played it. I quit playing and have shed 50 lbs.
I played from Fall of 06 to like spring of 08 straight, after that I knew I was done with the game. However, every three months sense, I am somehow forced into renewing my subscription just to play two weeks and remember why I got bored. That week or so of *fresh* gameplay is enjoyable, but it rarely lasts. I quit two months ago last and am hoping not to be drawn back in... Damn blizzard put nicotine in their computer games... -_-
miss the game.... HECK NO!!!! shoot among the few things that I hate about WoW and never really go back to it is the fact the flying mounts TOO Expensive (for any mount/training) this alone caused the whole economy to get out of hand. This in turn resulted in the 'Gold Farmers [HACKERS]'. Then there is the fact that the party system there sucks, try to get into a group goining into an instance but can't unless you have certain equipment BUT to get that gear you need to get into that instance. And its thanks to the Gold sellers though that economy on all the big MMo's are all screwy. So before you go to one of these sites to 'BUY' gold think it over, WHY pay good REAL money for gold in the MMo's that is just data when that you could use the money in real life for more important things. (sorry about goi9ng off-topic there for that last part just had to vent a bit)
people i met in EQ I'm still in very regular contact with, same with Vanguard. Wow, nope, not at all, not an email, not a facebook invite, etc.
WoW's useless to me and so are most of the players i met there /shrug
Grouping in Old school mmo's: meeting someone at the bar and chatting, getting to know them before jumping into bed. Current mmo's grouping: tinder. swipe, hookup, hope you don't get herpes, never see them again.
Gameplay>Graphics ofcourse, but it's always a plus to have decent graphics. I like WoW's artistic graphics, it's in a league of its own with the artwork.
Gameplay is equal to graphics for me but WoW is the only game that has broken that rule. Maybe because the graphical style doesn't get old.
Back on-topic, I tend to play it now in bursts of 2-3 months then get bored again. Well it's less like I get bored and more like I just loose the inclination to log on just to try get the exp bar shuffling along. Then I'll come back again after a couple of months break ready to go again. It kind of has a timeless charm for me that always wins me back. I'm not saying I'll never play another MMO but it would have to be could to drag me away from WoW after all the time I've invested.
I have one or maybe 2 characters still to get to 80 with for CAT. Then I reckon I'll play through with a level 35 noob (my lowest) to see how the world has changed. I haven't got any slots free to start a new one and I don't fancy doing the whole hog anyway.
_________________________________________ You can walk the walk but can you talk the talk?
Nope, don't miss it at all as I have found a much better game, Darkfall. I spent about three years there. When I left I deleted every item from every character, gave away all my gold and deleted an account full of 70's. Sure I could have sold the account but It felt so goooooood to delete everything.
One time, I deleted all but my very first character I rolled from my account, then quit. Thought I would never return (and deleted my characters to ensure that). Said good bye to my WoW friends and guild mates.
Eventually, though, I came back and even had Blizzard restore my two highest characters.
This time, though, I am sure I'm done. Blizzard's just getting greedier and greedier. So, my Undead mage will linger forever at 75.
No way would I ever sell my account. No one plays 'Rogormortis' but me.
There are certainly parts of the game that I miss. I love RFC so much. What a cool starter dungeon. Ah, the memories.
I actually have a harder time staying away from Warhammer with its low level PvP. Playing on a free trial right now, as they got a year's worth of money from me, and need to fix it to get any more.

Ok, that was a stupid joke. :-) Anyway, I can't say I miss WoW much. I miss people I once played with but re-subscribing won't bring old times back. My in-game friends are almost all gone - claimed by their RL, their jobs and their families. If I logged on today, I'd be just a stranger to everyone. If I wanted to play actively again, I'd have to go through the whole "write an application" and "prove your worth" boredom.
I feel ancient now. And too lazy to prove anything to anyone. :-)
MMORPG genre is dead. Long live MMOCS (Massively Multiplayer Online Cash Shop).
i played many years ago and dont miss it at all. was never for me and while the first 2 months were fun in the sense that it was new to me and lots of exploration lay ahead, it quickly faded.
unlike many who play it, it wasnt my first, 2nd, or even 5th mmo. i already had strong ideas of what an mmo should be to me and wow was like a starter version of that.
raiding was really the only fun thing about that game but not enough to stay [and pay] . i will say this, wow was the first game i played where team tactics started to be employed and if you didnt contribute you were solo. that experience helped me in the games i played after it and now to the point where if you dont vent you solo, lol.
I played WoW from January 05 to September of 05. For 4 years I didn't miss the game at all. Then last August a couple friends of mine who went back to WoW early in the summer begged me to play with them. They even offered to pay for the sub, so I said fine.. I played for a week and got my new druid to 45 before quitting for Aion... During that week of playing WoW after quitting for 4 years, I remembered why I quit the first time. The graphics are bleh, it's the same old thing only now it's even easier to get power leveled I had level 80's PL me to 45 after doing instances in 10 minutes with one level 80.. The game lost its fun for me years ago.. There's no way I'll ever go back unless this new expansion really updates the graphics and changes some of the ridiculous cookie cutting and easy leveling process. But I know most of that won't happen so I know I'm done with WoW for good..
Will I and have I missed the game? Nope not at all..

It's still tempting me every now and then, but after 8 to 9 or so years of playing MMO's, It's just so clear what they are all about. The whole genre is incredibly transparent, every carrot, every treadmill, and it's all basically the same.
I enjoyed my time in WoW, definitely, but I'm hoping to stay away from the genre for a while till it *hopefully* evolves into something more interesting than it is currently.
If I'd go back though, it's most likely going to be WoW. I may be tired with MMO's in general but if I'd pick one to play again it'd probably still be WoW, I just don't see anything particularly better (to my interests) out there.
I quit Wow a few years ago. I recently logged on during a free session for about 5 minutes to give a RL friend most of my stuff.
I will never go back to Wow until they change the reason that made me quit. The game lets you solo to the top level, but then forces you to group to progress in gear after that. Grinding badges (or w/e they're called now) in heroics doesn't cut it. I want access, any method, even if it's a long one to get the EXACT same gear available in top raids.
But I don't have hard feelings towards it. It was a great time back then (2006ish), I met some really nice people, had a whole lot of fun and very few frustrating moments. What else can you expect? - One day it grew old, so does any MMO...

I'm fairly certain wow is an "MMO" rpg (Meaning Massive multiplayer online) , and I can't see how you would be interested in playing any other game from the genre with these ideals.

This tired argument. Multiplayer does not mean forced grouping to progress. There's nothing wrong with grouping, I just hate when it's mandatory to advance your character.
If the entire Wow game made you team up, it would be different. But they let you solo to the top, and then it's bait and switch. And there are MMOs that let you get the best loot without ever forcing you to group to do so. Wow just isn't one of them.
YOU have a problem ... in that after patch 3.3 EVERYONE in WOW levels by doing GROUP content on the fly.... NOW.
You see, you lost touch with WOW 2010 and you have NO clue what you talk about for a player who plays NOW.
Level through PvP, shut down experience gains in PVE, DUAL specs, joining BG's from anywhere, cross server BG's, cross server dungeons, MASSIVE world PvP with 240 people EVERY 2.5 hours on every server in the zone of Lake WIntergrasp.
ALL new things you don't even know and still you want to discuss things with ACTIVE players of the game NOW.
So silly....I always have to explain these massive changes to dudes who talk about a game that no longer exists ....
This advertisement is a bit off topic considering the question posed by the OP was "Any ex_wow players miss wow". To which my answer is no.
i miss vanilla wow way !open wolrd raid insane pvp fight !they had only one thing missing back then it was the new lfg thingy they putted not long ago if they had that in vanilla wow it would have been nice but since you need to be instanced for it to work its kind of useless in open world and instance are fight have to be toned down .blizzard had to tone down wg because it was too popular.
yep that where gaming is right now .that why mag will be huge 256 player on a console game on a given map .now thats cool
and if the rumor about microsoft dev.trying very hard to make halo a mmo with 1000 player brawl.if those rumor are founded

I dunno Zorndorf, I think this is just as bad as soloing all the way to the top... maybe even worse.
If what you say is true, then I could make a new toon today, level him to say 15 or 20 in a few hours, and just start joining random dungeon queues to level from that point on.
I guess that's okay if you wanna power-level on elite mobs and have better equipment than someone who's only questing, but if everyone is doing this what happens to the feeling of a living world? If no one is experiencing all the content that's out there, including thousands of quests and virtual miles of open space, WoW is becoming more of a "hub queue" game like Guild Wars, isn't it?
Cataclysm is gonna change things up, sure... but if everyone just sits around using the x-server queues all day long, how much of the re-vamped content will be used by which percentage of players? I'm betting most of the content will be flown over by max-level characters, but very little of it will be experienced by appropriate-level characters.
<EDIT>
To answer the OPs question: No, I don't miss WoW. Quit a couple years ago and haven't looked back. I have a few friends who still play, but they play mostly out of habit, not true desire. They keep telling me how it gets easier and easier, which makes me really glad I quit when I did.

Personally I've had my fill of WoW and I'll never look back. Just last night I upgraded my video card to a more recent gaming card. There is no way in hell I'd go back to WoWs out-dated graphics and waste the potential of my new card playing it. I honestly don't know how half the people playing WoW can stand looking at the same out thing each day when theres MMOs out with a much more emmersive world... To each their own I guess.
I miss the amount of fun I had in WoW. I quit during TBC and have tried to go back twice and just can't do it. The game just feels boring/repetitive to me now.

Very much ON TOPIC, since they talk about a game that present day WOW players no longer play.
So these guys (including YOU) talk about times where there was NO Dual Spec, cross server dungeons to level, PvP to level or shut down exprience gains and have HUGE fun in massivel played ON realm batles.
YOU are one of the dudes who still want to discuss WOW while they have absolutely NO idea the game is thriving MORE than ever before with these new mechanics.
I can't help it either your lovely EQ2 and Lotro have massively empty dungeons in the leveling departments.
Well those of WOW never were more full. A pity for those who left.
I miss the amount of fun I had in WoW. I quit during TBC and have tried to go back twice and just can't do it. The game just feels boring/repetitive to me now.
It is boring and repetitive now...When I returned months ago all me and my g/f did was sit in the cities while in a que for an instance. We'd finish the instance and go into another que... I was bored within a week.
I expect to sit in ques when I'm calling customer service for help but not while I'm playing a MMO. WoW has taken a major turn for the worse IMO. Lets hope other gaming company dont follow suit...
n o many lock lvl for one reason!do you like to play solo.its exactly what happen not many lock their lvl to go at it in the lvl 19 bracket why .last they try it they were having a hard time finding locked lvl player.that the thing
might be one place it could be very popular if some organised it.is its lvl 60 open world raid event
this once a week would please lot of player but the rest most dont lock lvl.but your right its there but your solo
cant join other in wsg your locked you got to be with other locked player(good luck on finding locked player
I'm fully aware of all the changes to LFG etc etc, but I'm really not interested in going back. Towards the end of my sub WoW had started to feel like a second job, the fun was gone and there was naught left but obligations to guildies and friends in-game.
Not even all that interested in Cataclysm, wouldn't mind a quick noodle around to look at the changes to the old world, but I know it's just (as someone else said) getting back on the treadmill again, so it's unlikely I'll bother with it.
I do miss my guildies sometimes, they were a great bunch.

I had some good times when I played it...some of the best gaming memories I have, also some of the worst. It consumed too much of my life, I was turning in to a fat ass in the 3 years I played it. I quit playing and have shed 50 lbs.
No, I don't miss it.
I played from Fall of 06 to like spring of 08 straight, after that I knew I was done with the game.

I can't help it either your lovely EQ2 and Lotro have massively empty dungeons in the leveling departments.
Well those of WOW never were more full. A pity for those who left.
EQ 2 and LOTRO are why I do not miss WOW.
It is boring and repetitive now...When I returned months ago all me and my g/f did was sit in the cities while in a que for an instance. We'd finish the instance and go into another que... I was bored within a week.
I expect to sit in ques when I'm calling customer service for help but not while I'm playing a MMO. WoW has taken a major turn for the worse IMO. Lets hope other gaming company dont follow suit...
"I play Tera for the gameplay"

this once a week would please lot of player but the rest most dont lock lvl.but your right its there but your solo

Not that I didn't have any fun in it but I don't miss it one bit and am very happily occupied with DF right now.
I don't miss it, no.
I'm fully aware of all the changes to LFG etc etc, but I'm really not interested in going back. Towards the end of my sub WoW had started to feel like a second job, the fun was gone and there was naught left but obligations to guildies and friends in-game.
Not even all that interested in Cataclysm, wouldn't mind a quick noodle around to look at the changes to the old world, but I know it's just (as someone else said) getting back on the treadmill again, so it's unlikely I'll bother with it.
I do miss my guildies sometimes, they were a great bunch.
