This is why games need free trials...(I tried WoW)

One thing that can be said about Blizzard, is that they are, indeed, very good at what they do. I don't think there's any other game producing entity that can tout such an incredibly high ratio of hits to flops in their product. It seems as though everything they've made since the original Warcraft has been a smash success.

I suppose that it's because they don't really produce a great deal of games. It seems like they basically just take on one game at a time, and spend a huge amount of resources on researching and refining it-- much more than other big names do. With Sega, for example, half the stuff they put out these days feels like a beta test copy, right out of the box. Even the original PSU felt like it was incomplete. With the expansion, that sensation isn't quite there so much, but it lingers, regardless.

Yeah, Blizzard puts that extra time and effort polishing their games.

Even a turd can be polished to a brilliant shine ;3

Not bad, although like most MMOs, the attacks are turn based, and there is no instantaneous action the way we have here on PSO/PSU.

I'd probably play WoW if I had a computer that could run it properly.

Every game has "free trials", it is called the INTERNET. If you need me to go on any farther, you are living a sad sheltered life.

P.S. Dizzy, Phantasy Star 3, Ryan lol.

WoW is not so systems intensive

I'd probably try the game myself, if I didn't already have games I want through to summer, while already playing PSU and JK3 extensively.

If you liked the game up until level 20, wait until you get to Outland at level 58. That place adds a lot. Avoid the Fel Reaver in Hellfire Pennisula.

And the end game raids are fun. I can't wait for my guild to start out our first attempt at Gruul's Lair.

Back when I had interest in Final Fantasy XI, I couldn't find any free trials of that and had to go entirely by hearsay (so I avoided it). And, most CONSOLE games are lacking in accessible free trials, and guess where the majority of my gaming interests lie. Sadly, the Internet isn't the answer to all our problems...yet.

FFXI free trial: punch yourself in the balls several times.
