Hi i downloaded the wow 10 day free trial today for the first time. What made me interested in wow is that i play DOTA quite regularly and would like the same experience....i guess that means i was looking for PVP action and also i was looking to join a guild and use some voice software to chat with my teammates.
After about 2h i am currently a level 5 human rogue....and boy....i did not enjoy those 2h at all. Killing 10 wolves and then killing 10 kobold creatures, then killing another 10 and then another 10....basically it just equated to creeping in Dota but without any human player interaction.
So i asked a friend about this and he said that the stuff i wanted to do like Raids and quests involving a lot of people and use of teamspeak software or the like would only come in the later levels. He said that warhammer online would offer PvP straight from level 1.....but unfortunately i don't think my laptop is up to this....intel GMA 950 graphics chip.....
So my question is: how long do i have to play to experience what i want from wow?
I was thinking of buying an account. They seem quite reasonable theres one on ebay for about £80 for a level 80 rogue with full epic gear (lol i don't even know what epic gear means, but im guessing its special items that u have to play for hours to get.)
also i need to know what u do once you reach max level and have done the quests? can u still do quests with other people etc?
 
oh god....does this mean i will have to spend weeks of my time killing 10 things, walking to so and so and delivering a scroll....coming back and kill 10 bandits this time, walking to this guy etc etc etc etc......
i want to be involved, teamspeaking and playing an important role in my team fighting, and in a guild too!
 
okay....seems like buying an account is out of the question then.
my only other option is to build a new computer to try out warhammer because ive heard that you can pvp from the get go.....ive already got a cpu gfx and mobo so i wouldn't really have to spend much.
i heard that the main problem with warhammer is the number of low populated servers.....but my same friend tells me that they just reorganised them so their populations are higher now.....any1 played wow and war and would recommend war over wow considering my preferences for a mmorpg?
 
okay.....i still haven't played more wow. yes, i was a human rogue. still level 5 i think.
built the new computer and damn that x1950gt card is noisy!
so im 6% though the WAR trial download.....
i will decide which one takes my fancy.
