World of Warcraft or...?
Hi,all
Today we had friends from our old gaming group at home, we spent a delightful morning , made plans for some boardgaming...and I realized how much I'm missing roleplaying in a fantasy world.
It isn't possible for our group to get together often enough to play tabletop, and I've no interest whatsoever in playing 'pure' computer RPGs, I want people on the other side, not my machine.
That leaves one option, as far as I know: massive multiplayer on-line games.
I'm tempted...and I've been wavering between Guild Wars and World of Warcraft. As I gather, Guild Wars is geared towards Player v. Player, I'm definitely more inclined towards Player versus Environment with an emphasis on role-playing.
I know some of my LJ friends play WOW, would it fit what I'm looking for? Do you have any suggestions /tips / caveats for a total noob?
