Xbox Live for me
Fuck WoW. I have had to listen to so many mindless conversations about this game that I know quite a bit about it, and I have never even played the game!
I lost two roomates to it too. It caused both of them to have psychological problems. It was pretty funny though in retrospect, because WoW is like an MMO-lite. They had maybe 3 months logged on the game. My other friend had over A YEAR of playtime on Everquest. Now that is at least an addiction that goes so deep I am impressed.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
I think I'm done with MMO games in general until some developer comes up with a way of rewarding skill rather than focusing on an endless repetitive grind ... WoW was brilliant (at first) because they eliminated the grind until you got to level 60; unfortunately, then they decided to change the game to World of Everquest: Raiding and destroyed the game (in my opinion).
It's a great game, and if you have never played it and like MMOs u are seriously missing out. No other MMO even compares. I however, am currently not playing due to Ninja Gaiden II.
My friend has literally given up on all of his ambitions and dreams because of WoW... It's kinda sad, but on the other hand I wish I could get so much satisfaction from something so useless.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
I tried to like WoW, I really did. I am a FFXI addict, and I have lost many good and close friends in the game to WoW. I tried to like it, even though its better than FFXI in almost every way, I just can't stand it. On the MMO note. I have tried to get away from FFXI for so long. But I always seem to go back with every expansion or version update. I advise anyone to stay away from MMOs... they become addictions
WoW is still increasing. Last numbers released was in April, with 10.7 millions active players.
And with the second expansion coming in November, it will keep getting more players for atleast 1 more year.

Have you tried to play Guild Wars? There is a level cap of 20, there is an armor cap, a damage cap on weapons etc.
Of course you still use various upgrades on your items, but all grind you do in this game is something you choose to do, all the expensive armors and weapons are purely for the looks.
You can start a PvP-character with max. lvl, armor etc. but you have to earn upgrades. You can unlock them with points won in PvP or by finding them in PvE.
You can only have a max. of 8 skills on you at any time, and each skill will be tied to an attribute. Every class has 4-5 different attributes, where there is one primary attribute. This attribute is only available for your primary class. When you choose a secondary class, you don't get access to the primary attribute.
I could go on, but I will stop here and say that is Guild Wars is one of the most skillbased online games on the market.
On topic:
I got to lvl 28, then I simply couldn't take it anymore. It was so boring
I never touched it, and i don't want to. Admittedly, i can sometimes get addicted to some games, and since many people have become hopelessly addicted to it (and have even died because of it), I've forced myself to stay away from it.

Agreed. Guild Wars is the way to go if you don't want to grind for the next few years of your life.
