Let's say out of 3 years of play time I have over 1 year of actual time played. I recently dropped it as I was completely unhappy with the armor grind it has become since The Burning Crusade. Picked up GW Prophecies, then got Factions, and now I'm in Nightfall. I wish I had tried this game when it first came out. PvP in WoW is nothing more than an afterthought and the skills are ridiculous that you can use em all, I mean every time you see a class in PvP you already know what theyre gonna do. GW takes a lot more skill and as they say it's a skill based game. Wife and I have frozen our 3 WoW accounts now and are heavily into GW, best game I've played in a looong time : )</p> I played WoW since beta, had 3 lvl 70’s, and 4 others lvl 60+.

It ran fine on my computer but Guild Wars seems more fun but from the pics I dont know if my computer can take it. ALso, it seems a little complicated and Im having trouble understanding what comes with the game of the year edition, because Im planning on buying that. If someone could email me with specifics im at ColinBT1994@gmail.com. Thanks</p> WoW is getting boring for me.
