  Hello, I was just wondering if this game will make me as dependant on other people as with FFXI?
  I do not want to spend money on another game and pay monthly fees just to find out that later on I cannot do anything solo and I MUST be in a group to accomplish ANYTHING. Are you able to accomplish a lot of things solo, or will I require the help of many others to get something done? Any help is appreciated, thank you.

  I think soloing works ok in WoW, you will maybe have to pick abit easier quests I assume and it will probably be abit slower than grouping, but not like in FFXI there it's almost impossible to lvl after lvl 15 solo

  yeah, i got tired of waiting 9 hours to get invited to a party just to get 1 or a half of a level. i don't mind grouping and whatnot, it's just I hope i won't have to rely on it as much as i did in FFXI. After 2 weeks went by and i hadn't gained a single level, i decided it was time to quit. I'm hoping with WoW it' won't be geared to "you must be grouped at all time to get anything done" like FFXI. (i keep reffering to FFXI because; yes i know this is funny, its the only MMORPG i've played)

  Thank you for your input!

  World Of Warcraft is completely Soloable , with EVERY class !! The only possibility is, that the Hunter and Warlock classes will be a bit better suited for soloing that other players

  Every class can solo the whole game.... however there are places you really cant solo to well... IE dungeons/instances/raids... But you can solo to max lvl.... but going solo the entire time is boring IMO =P Youll miss out on all the neat loot from dungeons and all the uber mob bosses

  It will be interesting to see how much of the game will allow for soloing.  I played EQ for 3 years and spent 50% of my time solo but found it difficult at best--well, they did not intend for solo play to begin with. However, many people simply haven't the time, or the play style, to group all or most of the time. A friend of mine is in beta (WoW) right now and I had a chance to get about 3 hours of playing to sample with. I must admit that I am a bit intrigued and impressed with the game dynamic (hopefully by the time WoW goes public, one won't level to 50 in a month, heh heh). But, I did find leveling a Dwarf Rogue from 1-4 in 3 hours without downtime, coupled with the imbalanced match up of same leveled mobs a bit disconcerting (I was wasting mobs 1-2 levels higher than me). I did think it was more geared to solo experiences by far when compared with EQ (sheesh, remember getting dusted by rats and garter snakes in front of Qeynos?). In any event, it would be great to see a less stringent focus on the "you have to group" ideology.

  As far as I know that in beta you are able to gain levels much quicker than when the game will be released.I think the xp is at 130% the normal level so the testers can advance much faster for testing reasons.

  I think the only time that you will be required to group with someone is during a PvP raid and just MAYBE a dungeon seige. But that is only if you are going into a dungeon that is a little bit advanced past your age.

  alright cool, thanks for all your help everyone. I just wanted to make sure than 90 percent of the game will not REQUIRE me to group with other people. Like i said, i dont mind it,but when i MUST group with people to get something done, it kind of pisses me off. Thanks again everyone for your help, and i hope to see you in WoW!
