If you are looking for a MMO to start, wow is really the best. It is my first mmo and it has kept me interested so much that I never tried another one. Played for about 2 years already

db sorry

Whether cats can out dps rogues really depends on the fights. I have both a rogue and a druid. I still find the rogue more useful. Cats are fun to play but their dps is very situational and very affected by how the tanks tank the boss. Rogues are also harder to kill, they have more tricks up their sleeve. For example, if you miss a spore on Festergut and he starts to cast his AoE, rogues can cast feint to reduce the damage done to them by 50%. In other words, even if they miss a spore, they will not die. Still got cloak of shadows, vanish.. so much tricks to play.

oh.. my girlfriend plays wow too LOL. 1 stone kill 2 birds

Well at least you can have a 'virtual social life' : )

Haha it really depends on how you want to live. I entered wow with a group of about 7 friends. We meet up for supper every week or go to the movies so there is a social life there. Our group expended from 7 to almost 12 people now, 3 of us have girlfriends that play wow. So it is actually quite a big group there that actually hangs out together when we go out.

To me, you can play as much as you like or control how much time you spend in there. My group takes wow quite seriously, most of us have more then 3 characters and they are not weak either, all my characters have seen the death of the lich king. BUT I can assure you I don't spend more then 3 hours per day playing, I don't play everyday either.. maybe 4 days per week after work?.. not much of a commitment there is it?

Kk it gets a bit complicated here. For WoW there are 2 things you need to pay........ aside from your internet connection..

1. Original WoW and Expansions. There are a total of 3 sets now. Original WoW (level cap at 60), The Burning Crusade (level cap at 70) and Wrath of the Lich King (level cap at 80). Buy the Battlechest (this includes Original WoW + The Burning Crusade). Take your time to level till 70 first then buy WOTLK to get to 80. If you have a friend that wants to start with you, all the better, both sign up together and use the recruit a friend bonus to get x3 xp when leveling together.

2. Subscription. It is about $14.99 USD/month. Can pay via credit card or buy prepaid card from vendor. Buy from vendor is 2 months straight, no other choice. Pay from credit card can 1 month, 3 months or 6 months and it gets cheaper the more you take at once.
