The only MMO I played was DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) and that was 15 bucks a month, I think paying a monthly fee to play a game is ridiculous also. But DDO was a great game.. I wasted so much money on it.
WoW is very nice, but when you start playing it, you just can't stop again, it's like crack or something (I played it for 2 years, but now i stopped, and I like not to sit and play that game like 5 hours a day! now i got time to hang out with my friends and things like that
I prefer shooting game. Way more action. I find WoW so much repetitive. I click the monster, I attack the moster, I kill the moster, I take the gold from the moster(yep even blob have gold). And the circle continue...again...and again
