“The Unbelievable World of Warcraft”

warcraft is just knock-off of warhammer and that's all it will ever be to me

I was trying to say the games on this list are all the huge MMO botter games. There are so many programs that run the game for the players that the players don't even have to be home for their characters to play. Its the same tools the gold sellers use in all online MMOs but most of these long time players all use them too. So its no wonder that the biggest games that allow automated players - scripted players computer controlled - to endlessly run through quests and mount up faction money and quest rewards would top this list. All of the above I do not play because of all the botters in them and I will not sign on to a new game that has proven the GMs will not put blocks into stop them.

Just for the record, MMOs don't usually have amazing PS3 graphics because they want as many people playing as possible. If it had the system requirements of Crysis, it wouldn't make enough money because not enough people would subscribe. However, practically anyone who has a computer today can play games with minimum requirements like WoW's.

Better graphics would be nice, yes, but graphics can be too good for MMOs.

"...Fastest selling PC Game of all time."

To put that into perspective for Japan:

"Yo Square Enix, I'm really happy for you, I'm going to let you finish, but Wrath of the Lich King was the FASTEST SELLING PC GAME OF ALL TIME!. OF ALL TIME!!!"

Wow really?

I don't really care about graphics or shit, I usually play Tremulous, a FPS wich is ugly as hell. Although, I have also played WoW and I found it pretty entertaining, BUT I hated to hit 80. So I made 10 chars with different classes and hit 70> with all of them, then quit WoW.

BTW I also enjoyed the auction house, I always loved that kind of things(selling/scaming, speculating with prices, etc). Also, I love exploration.

WoW is more than raiding 24/7. I used to play it <2h and had a lot of fun.

I think I'll play it again when Cataclysm hits, because It's going to change low level zones and stuff - more ways to leveling :D.

OH, I played it for about a year, I also quit because of its really expensive price.

Japaneese would rather play a shitty mmo made in japan than playing WOW. Same goes with video games in general.

I liked it at the beginning, horde side, first to clear MC and BWL on our server. I think they ruined it when they gave alliance shamens and horde pallys, and especially with blood elves. I like my horde to be a bunch of ugly monsters.

I know I'd be addicted to World of Warcraft if I subscribed because I used to be addicted to Ragnarok Online when I subscribed. I sunk so many hours into that game, missed playing so many ps2 and Xbox games because of all the time I spent playing RO.

I play D&D Online for free. It's pretty fun. The graphics really impressed me. I support it with a cash shop purchase now and then.
I stopped paying an MMO subscription fee a long time ago. Otherwise, I might play WoW.

Runescape has 7.5%? really?

Meh, I just can't play any grindfests anymore. Grinded out.

WoW ftw!

Not asian, only koreans!

Isn't WoW LOSING in profits right now?

they can never hope to be a great as thier character so, oogly suits them if they cans kick ass

i prefer to play MMOs that arent a grindfest chore. yeah , i know every MMO is a grindfest, but some are better than others in that regard. as for WoW it looks like all the other stereotypical medival games. not much in the way of character creation and every person looks fugly. muscly men must be warriors and few delicate women must be clerics. ugh. and i dont see why people opt to be human in game life either. i dont mean full furry and i don't mean human like things like dwarves or elves either, but it would be nice to do more costomization, even unnatural hair colors. Then again a lot of socially awkward pathetic people play WoW so it's what they hope to be, no?

Am I the only one who thought "pffft that's not an Audi R8", ignoring the rest of the content?

I played WoW for quite a long time, quit more than a year ago. It was quite fun and enjoyable experience if you have the right company to play with, and when compared to other MMOs it's simply the best bang for your buck. No other MMO I played comes even close to the amount of spit and polish WoW has.

But then again, it's not really about WoW as much as it's about Blizzard. Every game they made was a huge success and personally I look forward to StarCraft 2 and Diablo 3.

Mom! Bathroom! BATHROOM!!!

From my observations, a lot of MMO players are actually really only playing MMOs as if they were chat programs with a game attached.

But I must say, a lot of the hate comments directed at WoW are kinda funny. But this is Sankaku, and most of you lot would rather masturbate while pretending to date a DS girl. I don't think the WoW crowd would have anything kind to say about you either :)

WOW is the best of paid MMORPGS thanks to it's casual gamer-friendly mechanics, as opposed to total suckage that is FFXI which features 18-hour boss. WOW can be played 2 hours daily so it wouldn't ruin your life with those grinding thing, WOW also has a bonus for resting.

yeah, WoW is the killer of FFXI
for many reason
ffxi is a old mmorpg that you need play 16 hours everyday if you want "good experience"

wow is easy to play but hard to dominate

wow raids >>>> every endgame of ffxi

"WoW is mostly dominated by the people usually not playing mmos or games - the general populace.

How could they know how really good game graphics look? ^^;"

That is a very stupid thing to say, shiny graphics does not a good game make.

Why is their a WoW add on sankak... T~T

The firts image is the only good who have the World of Borecrap

lol

blizzard, the GAINAX of video fucking gaming

warhammer 40k? whats a warhammer, oh right that shit we took our ideas from, its ok, its called starcraft now

warhammer? what the hell is a warhammer? you mean that shit warriors use? its ok its called a stormherld now and we'll name the game world of warcraft but we will preceed it with warcraft three

see this plot line? it sucks, but we'll add so much badassary in it you won't even fucking care one bit

FOR THE SWARM BABY

oh yes and there really are females on WoW
so much for your final fantasy...

geezuz, why is it so hard to create an mmo to rival WoW? the games been out for so long, developers should know what will and wont work.

Somehow I'm not surprised Asia has the largest percentage of users. They only have 3.8 billion people living there.
Holy shit! Over half of Earth's human population is Asian!

The illustrator called 黑暗王朝 in Chinese is amazing.
Since his the most beauty of illustrations are always over 18, there is few you can find in mainland sites

Maybe some Korean MMO's are having better graphics than WOW but WOW are more user friendly, and having so many worldwide players, while korean MMO (like Lineage or Aion) are localized and free (with some paid service for better playing) to save funds. I'd say that WOW is the best, of paid MMORPG. Final Fantasy XI sucks and you suck for liking FFXI!

whats a petabyte?? hahaha i mean how many terabyte does it have :D

So how much do they get paid for posting this completely "offtopic" advertisement for WoW, with the fanpicture on top as a poor excuse, on sankakucomplex gamenews?

One Audi R8 per day ... depends where you live. In Denmark it cost between 414.000 USD and 630USD quite far away from those 138.000 USD

Lich King isn't the fastest selling PC game of all time.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, a game that is priced double of the expansion, sold 4,7 million in one day in the USA and UK alone.

Poor FFXI, meh feels bad for they. :(

Got Glad, then sold.
Got Glad again, then sold.
I like my new monitors and speaker system.

You guys should check out the references used for all those "facts".
Some are wild guesses and estimations by user or reporter.

Especially the market dominance chart, which is completely false.

And whoever thinks those celebrities really waste their time playing WoW and werent just paid for advertising the game, must be a moron.

All people should really care about is that WoW has inspired some really great fap material.

................well i think ill stick to playing my free mmo cuz i can afford to play WOW....not to mention aion totally kicks its ass....even though i cant play that ether..but as a pletty active mmo'er ive deffinetely seen and played some free mmos that can totally wipe the floor with WOW...like blade & soul.....eeeek i cant w8 till that comes out in english.

LOL IF I HAD TO PLAY ANY GAME IT WOULD BE RUNESCAPE ATLEAST THAT GAME HAS HAS REAL QUEST AND UNLIKE WOW YOU CAN' FINISH IT ON A WEEK.

oh yeh i knew dave chappelle played RICK JAMES BITCH but mila kunis shes hot and makes me wanna play wow haha

I wonder what they do with at least 5000 computers with no CPU cores...

I could never get into WoW. It lacks weeaboo. Ragnarok Online, there I felt like at home. Lineage 2 and FFXI weren't bad either... but 2D is better.

WoW is the best?

I would love to start playing WoW but I know I'll get addicted to it.

If they're going to say that celebrities play this game then they should say how much they play it. When I hear that people like Jessica Simpson and Jenna Jameson play this I assume that they only played this for a few hours and then either forgot about it or just lost interest in it.

"It took a mere 150 developers to..."
But how long did it take them to make all those things and how experienced were the developers? Just stating it like that makes it sound as if it's something any group of amateur developers could do in a short period of time.

Mr. T plays WoW... It must be so easy to recognize him from a whole lot of players...

WOW!!!!!

How are any of these facts disturbing? I thought most of them were common knowledge...

ewwww wow.

WoW! Unbelievable!

Cancelling my subscription was the most satisfying thing I've done in my life.

Even over a year later, this game still scares the shit out of me. Thinking back of the hundreds of hours I could have invested in something more useful always kills my mood.

p.s. There are no real girls in WoW. Whoever claims otherwise is a liar.

I wonder how often those celebrities actually log on.

uhh yeah, i'm happy that i stopped, cuz i have other thing to spend my money on jaja

first

I still don't see the fun in WoW :/

impressive figures no matter how you wanna cut it up.

Im a girl and i play wow :D
yay im rare
