You need to be careful when playing WoW. If you want to do it for fun you have to realize that you will miss out on the core of the game. It really requires a solid 20-60 hours of play a week to experience the end game.

I've played WoW off and on since it released that November so many years ago. Got some friends together and played on Cenarius, which was one of the first 20 servers to go live (terrible 20 because of insane lag). It was fun, and we were damn good since we had experience in EQ.
We got to the end-game in short-time, and raided together and were on the "cutting-edge" of new content. Actually doing things that cookie-cutter strategies hadn't come out for yet. It's not a challenging game, and any person with the slightest bit of coordination and common sense can master the game (bash me gnn, i'm just gonna laugh). Like many people have noted, WoW is very addicting and does consume a lot of time; however, it does not require a lot of time to be "hardkore", but most who are at that lvl spend numerous amounts of hours in the game.
From WoW I've learned how to speak a good bit of Cantonese as well as Korean. I've learned and heard about what's going on over in China and Korea from people who actually live there on a constant basis, and made some of the best friends in places such as B.C., England, and soldiers stationed across the globe. Pseudo-friends if you will, much like a lot of people on this forum have come to be.
The sole mechanism that keeps over 9 million people playing and subscribed is the community in WoW. People were devastated when the expansion hit and "raids" were lowered from a 40 persons being able to work together, to only 25. What would happen to those 15 others who had contributed just as much to the "guild" and had just as much good skill in the game. The society and community in WoW corrected itself, just as the american society corrects itself in those troublesome times. I've learned and observed some interesting things such as how the market in WoW operates, which is much like a free-open market yet it runs by itself with no regulation. People don't complain about prices, and a good argument for that would be "because its just ethereal money in a online game - people don't care about that"... tell that to the numerous amounts of people who buy gold with their money earned in the world.
I understand the arguments against WoW, and they're fully legit. I could go on a long diatribe about the pros and cons of World of Warcraft, but I'm sure it wouldn't interest much of you. I'm never going to push and tell someone to play WoW, but I don't find it suppressing to show a little good light on the game. And to me, finally after all those years, its just a game.
