What attracted to you WoW?

The lore did it for me. I played all the Warcraft games up until WoW, and after I finished Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne expansion, I wanted to see more of my favorite characters, like Arthas or Illidan. However, for different reasons I did not start playing WoW until the Burning Crusade expansion.

 

I loved the commercials.

 

Haha! Yeah, those commercials were really funny. I loved the one with Mr. T, when he gets all angry that he cannot be a Night Elf Mohawk and goes so far as to say that he will hack the servers and create a Mohawk class. Funny stuff!

 

I never played the Warcraft III so I didn't know much about the lore. The commercials though.... damn. After playing runescape, WoW looked absolutely crazy.

 

Honestly, Warcraft III. I was playing it, and got addicted to lore. I was reading it like crazy. And when I got access to World of Warcraft, I couldn't resist to try it.

 

I have started playing around 2007 with few of my buddies. As I remember how we were playing it, now it feels quite embarrasing but it was really fun and thats why I stayed. When I took the game more seriously, then the PvP mechanics made me find this game so interesting.

 

I was a blizzard fan, and a WC3 grinder. So it was only natural for me to jump the wow wagon.

 

Well I was fan of Blizzard ever since Warcraft for the PC. Then I started playing Starcraft on Battle.Net
World of Warcraft is a totally different dimension but obviously my previous experience was positive and I started playing WoW.

 

Believe it or not, I got attracted by the CGI trailers because they were awesome. They looked like scenes straight out of a high budget CGI movie that I thought I had to try the game out. I got hooked for a few years but stopped playing already.

 

When I saw the huge map and that every class had a ton of skills I just wanted to try it out, so that's when i started playing it!

 

I always wanted to go on WOW the minute I heard about it without seeing the commercials first. The commercial I really liked was the one with Verne Troyer and how his avatar was exactly like him. That was hilarious.

 

I was into that fantasy kind of stuff way before I even knew about World of Warcraft. I think it was Lord of the Rings that really got me hooked. So when I heard that there was a game with Orcs, Elves and Dwarves you can imagine my excitement.

 

I think it mainly had to do with a lot of my runescape and Counter strike friends going over to play WoW. I probably would not have ever played the game otherwise.

 

Three main reasons I played WOW aka World of Warcraft:

1. I've played the Blizzard created games since the first Warcraft, and have been a fan ever since.
2. A lot of my family and friends, enjoy playing the game and I enjoy spending hours upon hours playing with them.
3. Interacting with people all around the world, and observing how they act in a simulated game, interests and stirs my curiosity of why humans do what they do.

 

A friend of mine recommended it to me since he was playing it a lot and therefore I decided to to try it and ever since I have been hooked to the Wow.

 

A friend of mine from an old text MUD had posted a link to her Facebook wall. This was when they had dropped the Battlechest price to $5, Cataclysm was $10 and Pandaland was $20. I decided to give it a shot and played for 18 months before quitting.

 

I had a friend who started playing it. Also I heard everyone talking about this when it came out. I had to try it and it was a great decision.

 

Honestly, PvE, and flying mounts. I also really really enjoy the lore more then any other game.

 

My ex boyfriend was playing it and it seemed really interesting.. He wanted me to get into it, so i gave it a try. It was a lot of fun but it seemed to get really repetitive after a little while.
