WoW is a nice starter, why not play a more advanced MMO?

Give a shot at playing a game like: Anarchy Online or Neocron 2.
Both these games will make your WoW experience feel like an old game
like Diablo 2. WoW is not as good as it is advertised after level 60.
Get over the lame pvp, and experience games with more content and
detail, please, just let your MMO experience be better with one of
these games.

Barf and Barf.... I like WoW
if Neocron 2 is so groovy then why its not ever talked about ?
Eh, WoW is good, and I hate learning new games. However, you've picked my interest and I'll give the trials a shot.
Anarchy online is not that good looking as WOW
And i like the simplicity.
Neocron2? Hahahaha.
I was a beta tester for the 2d round of Neocron and it had so much potential.
But the company couldn't deliver.
I tried the 10 day demo over the weekend just for nostalgia sake and immediately uninstalled after I clicked my apartment elevators access button and got a FRE.
Blast from the past that can stay there.
Because I like playing games in easy-mode.
Seriously...its a good fun game that doesn't require a ton of thought to enjoy. But if you want you can torture yourself endlessly trying to find the perfect combination of gear, talent points, and buffs to turn you into a killing machine.
Not much fun at 60? Most, if not all MMORPG's lose their fun once you reach the maximum level in a game? Not great in PvP? Well, I don't care for it, but some folks seem to have a great time at it. Different strokes for everyone I suppose.
Anarchy Online? and whatchamacallit?... It's sort of fun to play games that are popular and have lots of people in them... I think they are called MMORPG's.... not sure those other two have the population in them to equal even one WOW server....
Can't blame you for trying to drum up support for your favorite games..and it appears at least one person is going to take you up on your offer to try something different. Who knows..maybe you'll win a few converts...

sure there are games out there that require more planning of characters or something but then the controls suck. i dont want to grit my teeth over moving my character in the game.
in that respect WoW delivers the best.
I played Anarchy Online for 2 years when it first came out, now that was a REAL game. You had to fight Funcom's programming just as much as any mob.
It's crap now, whent downhill with Aliens. If you think your hot shit because you play Anarchy Online now, sir, you haven't played anything!
As far as Neocron 2, played the original, and it was terrible, you'll have to put forth some good arguments/features for me to look at that again.
i actually moved from anarchy online to WoW (and still have nightmares about the hackler grind)
if by "harder" you mean much less intuitive to learn, then yes i agree that AO is harder then wow, but everything else? give me a break...

Demoku: Anarchy Online (Rimor)
Ok.
First, why are we still talking about Anarchy Online and Necron?
Let's talk real deal. If we compare WoW let's talk about games like EQII and EVE online.
As far as graphics and depth and complexity of gameplay go EVE takes the cake.
And how about Lineage II with it's massive battle opportunities and gorgeous landscapes and characters?
WoW has a strong edge because it is so damn well balanced and designed that it is really easy to learn and play. But unless it keeps innovating it will soon be overrun by competition. It's a giant now, but unless BC brings something new, it may start rotting in a year or so.
AVATAR REALM
Starwars Galaxies, An Empier Diveded, That's what it says on my box anyway.
Come on Neocron has a lot of very unique and interesting features. It has really bad QA, but it really does have an impressive feature list compared to other MMOs. Unfortunately it has an impressive bug and clunkiness list too.
//WoW is a nice starter, why not play a more advanced MMO?//
When one comes out that doesn't suck, I just might take your advice.
Talk about feeling like an old game, AO graphics are what 4 years old and they haven't even attempted to upgrade the graphics. AO = run to this location, kill everything in this randomly generated "dungeon" a dungeon that looks just like the randomly generated dungeons you've been going to since you were level 1. No thanks, I'll pass.
I have hope for some of the new offerings expected in the next six months. If any of them are as good as WoW, WoW is going to take a real hit. If any are notably better, then we may see the end of WoW as a mega success.
Blizzzard has had two years with no real competition, but they have squandered that time completely. Two years and the first expansion still hasn't hit the stores. Another two years for the second expansion? WoW will be dead. Unless everything else sucks.
