WoW - I wanna have a quick go!

[Splash]

I've just rung the only person I know playing WoW (everybody I know is playing EQ! ) and she can't find anything in the box etc. to do with a trial key.

Any idea whether it was a limited offer or something that she might not have?

Not sure - I know I got 2 codes - the full install code and the trial. Basically you borrow the discs off a friend (they're not needed once you have it installed anyways) and use a trial key which gives you 10 days playtime. Once this is elapsed you can either buy the game and upgrade your account to a full one (without losing your characters) or ditch it - nothing to lose.

Let me know if you need the key!


Other than that I really didn't think I'd like WoW but a PC magazine had a 14 day trial so I thought I'd give it a go. Since that moment my spare time has dwindled as the game has eaten my life!

EDIT - Also Rox0r - would you happen to be the same guy who just joined my guild (Seeds of Glory)?

At release if you bought the 'special edition' you got a trial key as well. And a while after they added trial keys to the normal boxes (special editions were only available at launch and almost all sold out on pre-order).

[rox0r]

Indeed, they put them into the ones that shipped in April last year after the, 'oops we didn't make enough' affair. Any prior to that didn't have it.

*If* you're sure you don't need it, then yes please! That would be great :-)

She's had another look through the box and the bits that came with it but still nothing so I guess she didn't have it in her version ... either that or she's lost it! :-(

Any chance of a PM?

[Splash]

Sending PM now!

WoW sucks without proper friends to play with in my opnion....Had a awesome time up to lvl 24 with my orc warrior as I was with 2 other friends I knew well...then they stopped and from that I went to lvl 36 bored out of my mind, and thoroughly angry when I died because my foreign partner decided to just abandon me in the thick of a fight :|

[TheBuZZard]

Without mates/good guild WoW is pretty pointless.

Any chance you can let me know *why* you think it's boring?

I can't speak for the above poster, but I find it extremely boring too.

And I can answer why, its because its about as challenging as scratching my armpit, and thats assuming I don't have to take off my jumper first.

There are no mmorpg's that provide any real challenge anymore, the only thing that keeps people playing WoW is the PVP, ie the same as quake deathmatch... And unfortuantely, i'm not really into PVP.

Need a game that has challenge, then you can feel a sense of acomplishment.

Tried PvE raiding? And MC doesn't count

That's the only real chalenge in the game with regards to playing skill, PvP is just a 'who can spend the longest ammount of time in WSG/AB' race to rank 14.

[TheBuZZard]

Agreed, there is the game outside BWL/AQ and the game for people who do these. Sadly only a minority of people are in guilds that can do the big raids. PVP is about time played rather than skill, a lot of the chars that get to rank 14 have been played a few different people since you need to be at it 10-14 hours a day.

If anyone has a spare 10 day key - please can I aquire it as I have a friend who's been playing Mir for the last 4 years and we want to show them the power of WoW.

I would be very greatful indeed
