So I've got the money to get a new PC game tomorrow for my new build (check my sig). I'm stuck between: The Sims 3 or World of Warcraft. Now you see I was quite set on buying The Sims 3, but then my friends started raving about WoW. I've heard of it before, of course I have, but after three years of Runescape (I know, not good), I decided I should detour from the MMORPG's. But After my friends blessing, I gave the game a second look and decided to educate myself about it with a few videos and reviews. Now I'm stuck. I did that TryWarcraft.com thing, and got bored in about a minute as it reminded me too much of Runescape (bad memories), but my friend just said "yes, the beginning is boring, but when you play, it's the best". Is this true? What do you guys think I should go for? Or are there any other games I'm overlooking that I should go for? I want a game that isn't a 'play once and throw away'. Something ongoing is what tickles my fancy.
