This is why most of my frinds call it warcraft war-crack, refering to the addictiveness of the game. it’s like cocaine for gamers

i play wow. its intensive in the fact of : having the feel the need to keep playing longer than your intended time because of the want to complete quest, get honor, gold, gear w/e. it’s almost like a drug in the aspect of the ‘want’ just not the will to pull away. however any game is only as ‘hardcore’ as you want it to be. now i see a few posts here and other forums, yeah it’s gotten WAY easier sine wotlk release because in blizzard forums they stated they wanted to open more doors to outside players to broaden their spectrum of playing style i.e. “fatten their wallets” – more players = more moolah. and they know it’s an addictive game with many features and aspects of the game that suit to many different playing styles. btw. u wanna see what game i wish wow would have been like, but sine they’re more for casual players i don’t expect them to keep up this game – AION. you can see the game trailers i saw from gameplay on the beta testers – aiononline.com very very smooth graphics and lots of action, i’m very keen to try this.

When it gets to this stage, it is no longer gaming, it’s a business.
WoW is not particularly for hardcore gamers. In fact it’s probably one of the more accessible of the MMO’s, so have to disagree with the article.

He might spend 6,000 usd every 6 month for his accounts, but how much does he make back selling those accounts and the gold he has farmed? I bet it is in excess of 20,000 usd.

WoW is for gamers of all ages (as proven through what I’ve heard on ventrilo) Anyone can learn this game, and anyone can get to level 80. Not everyone can be good at it but it’s not hard by any means. Clearly the guy in Forbes assumes that hardcore = puts all his/her time into it, whereas I consider hardcore to be someone who kicks butt

“Learning how all the mechanics work in the game just to understand why you’d want more agility vs. strength on a particular piece of gear is hardcore.”

That’s like saying how learning all the tasks and responsibilities to do your job correctly is hardcore and too much work. The point is to learn how to play your class. If you don’t know how to gear/play your character then what is the point in playing? World of Warcraft is a joke. It was my first MMO, I played for about 3 years and quit out of sheer boredom. It’s not difficult to play.

I read the article for the guy’s desktop that is the featured picture in this article… he pays out like 5700.00-6000.00 every 6 months just to have all of those accounts! Needs a life honestly. Also, i believe he has around 50 something accounts for the game? It’s a crazy number. I don’t see how people can do it.
