It's fun till you hit lvl 60, unless you're in a good guild theres nothing to do, i gave it up because between work and my gf i couldn't dedicate the hours at a time needed to play the end game content.
However until then i was addicted, it just doesn't have much in the long term to offer the casual 'hour a night' gamer.

I hated raiding with a passion.
The levelling up was fun, spending hours in an instance in hopes of winning a minor stat boost was mind-numbingly boring, and the reason I cancelled my subscription.
Raiding big instances at lvl 60 is what drove me away. Hours of grinding same instances 5 hours a night, 3 nights a week for the sake of getting an item with a few more stats than your current one. Everyone I knew also changed, the guild talk was now full of number crunching, aggro managing, etc and I think in this whole process we all simply forgot how to actually have fun.

That's probably why then.
The majority of people who play it enjoy it because of the community, and talking to people. Most guilds have Ventrilo/Teamspeak servers, so everyone goes on that, and talking to people is fun. Because guilds are so big, there are always plenty of people to talk to.
just buy it and try it for the free time, no one here can tell you if you will like it or not, everyone is different. but i will agree slightly with some people in this thread, level60 for a person who can only play an hour per night will be boring/pointless, nothing stopping you making other chars aswell though if you loved leveling to 60 so much...myself, ive got 2 level 60's and a few upcoming also, my main is in the biggest english speaking guild on my realm and ive never gotten bored on it once, i still get the same thrill after all these months of seeing ragnaros shoot out of the lava towering over the guild raid, or winning BG's with my guilds pvp team, its only a grind if you make it a grind, if you just concentrate on having fun you will have fun.
I found it a lot more fun being a Priest than any other class thanks to being in so much demand for instances with groups looking for healers. It helped get through the earlier levels a lot faster thanks to this.
You should check out the "Newcomers" forum of http://forums.wow-europe.com for a lot of help, especially with class questions. Lot's of really good information on them.
That forum says the recommended realms for new players are (copy & paste here):
I'm on Kilrogg with my priest.

Bladefist is a dead server, 80% of the population migrated to a different server, leaving it with a mix of bad guilds and gold farmers.
If you want to get the full experience, people killing end game bosses etc, avoid.

ditto, stupid pve game trying to be a pvp game and failing badly in a number of areas, truly awful balancing of the classes that seems to change with whatever class the dev team are playing at the moment.
It's a good game till you played it for a while then the bugs that have been in since release start to annoy. are the instance servers/login servers still rubbish ?
you spend 2-3 hours in a 40man instance and half the raid get booted and can't log back in for hours. oversubscribed realms that you have to sit in line for hours waiting to play a game your paying a monthly sub for. No thx.

Actually aside from the issue they are having with Logins (might actually be resolved now) I've never had that much problem with it, ever considered the possiblility that world of warcraft hates you? its most likely the murlocs you know ...
I've been playing on Thunderhorn since release (and beta before that) admittedly I've never been bothered to get really high level aside from beta, I've enjoyed playing the mid level game for a long long time, my main is just getting to 60 now, although I have several characters in the late fourties to early fifties
I just did my first LBRS run today and loved it to bits, I've got high hopes for world of warcraft for some time to come
I still get a lot of enjoyment out of helping low level people, its such a good laugh usually, although I've become a little intolerant of people who never listen now and have actually started ignoring people!
Anyway if anyone can stand to join Thunderhorn and the twink oriented lower level AH stuff (mid to high end is very reasonable) gimme a shout on Tanark - Our Guild is always looking for new players interested in semi casual instance runs at all levels and raids ... and most of us spend a substantial amount of time helping lower levels
I did about 10 Gnomeregan runs yesterday with a couple of rogues :O
you never had a problem with it because from the look of it your still doing 5 and 10 man instances that i could do backwards in my sleep in a green geared toon i might add, wait till you get to molten core and above clear upto the raggy (as an example) and half the raid suddenly log off and all you hear on vent is WTF i can't log back in. what you expect tho it's vevendi retards running the show now not blizzard, it can only get worse.
what you expect tho it's vevendi retards running the show now not blizzard, it can only get worse.Have just this second cancelled my sub. Doesn't feel like a relief as I hadn't played it properly for weeks.
Once I used to look at my quest log in wonder at all the stuff I had to do, lately it all looks like a chore and I get enough of that at work.
Never got a char to 60, my main is at 57, so don't think I will ever see 60. Though as the chap was saying above, the only thing that will really change in the next three levels is some small stats.
The main thing that put me off is getting a group together - it would take ages, and getting a healer - forget it! I was in a good giuld but just couldn't give it the time that a good guild deserves so people were not necesarily willing to help me - which is what I would have expected.
Great game while leveling - cruddy when you get to the top. Plus didn't like the way you could make absolutely no impact on the world.
Couldn't be bothered with level other chars really as could not stand doing the same quests again.
Am now free and have ordered Knights of the old Republic 2 as I love RPG's and suddenly remembered, when coming out of my post wow haze, that I loved the first KOTOR.
Edit - plus I have Oblivion to play - do I need WoW? - ummm - NO!
