Is WOW for me?

[AndyBorzi]

A couple of questions about WOW from someone who hasn't played it.

Can you get a free trial anywhere with a client? Presumably you get 30 days if you buy the game?

I have UO atm but haven't played it for about 8 months now - cos I got bored with it. I am loathe to cancel subs tho cos of the time I put into it - I may try and sell the account. So if I do I will have this subs to pay for another mmorpg

Obviously everyone is recommending WOW but I'm wondering if it is worth it for me:

I will only have around 1 or 2 hours 2 or 3 times a week in the evening. Perhaps upto 4 hours at weekends. So I am a relatively light player and probably won't have much time to play in guilds.

Will the game be playable for a light player like myself or is it worth considering another game? (I already have Guild Wars and play that occasionally)

You get 30 days if you buy the game yep.

You will enjoy leveling up, for me WoW lost a lot of it's appeal once it got to raiding level as I was use to the type of raiding done in EQ1, which was more hardcore. WoW best point is definatly leveling and haveing fun along the way.

Yes WoW can be played lightly, not when you get to the raid level but playing the amount of time you have will be a fair few months befor you have to worry about being bored.
