I happen to be a MMORPG Entrepreneur at the moment. I recently quit playing FFXI(because of many reasons). I have been a long time Blizzard fan. I've played (Religiously), Warcraft, Starcraft, Warcraft 3 and I heard awhile ago that Blizzard had WoW coming out. Recently I've been checking in on the progress, screenshots, movies and forums such as these for gameplay screenshots. It's really becoming quite the game.
But, I'm worried. I played FFXI for about 10months before I tired of its repeticious gameplay(fighting the same monsters over and over and over...and over again), hard to find parties(and if your familiar with FFXI you cannot solo for XP at all at high lvls), slow paced and worst of all lack of fun within the other gameplayers(always dicks because all they want is money and experience).
I've noticed that WoW seems to have the same setup as FFXI, paladin tanks, mage heals, mage cast spells, warrior swings sword ect ect. It's the same thing, it looks, to turn out like FFXI. Boring, monotomous and un-eventful. So I'm asking anyone who views this post that has played the beta or can give me the least bit of hope for WoW, is it fun and will it last?
Can I solo-level at higher levels? Is it difficult to find a party at just about any level? Does the game *require* that you play constantly in order to have the proper items to level fast and effectivly? Is the world of warcraft so plain that once you've seen one backdrop you've seen them all? Is it strategic or do you just click attack and sit back and watch your character swing(maybe get up for a drink while a mage heals you)?
If you don't understand what I'm getting at say so, I'll clarify later.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
MELTDOWN
