Thanks for that, downloading my everquest trial now.

Do you know if warcraft has dedicated servers? I pressume there would be some kind of subscription charge for the servers if they are dedicated?

Yup - playing it on and off since it was launched. If you have the patience, EVE has a depth and complexity other games simply cannot match. Having said that, the learning curve is steep and the gameplay can be somewhere on the lethargic side of sedate at times.


ahhh thats the problem see, i dont have the patience for extremly in-depth sort of games like that, i'd just end up getting frustrated with it.

Have been playing the everquest 2 trial of the isle for a couple of days though and i did get the hang of it all very quickly and reached the level limit for the trial version.
Is WoW as easy to get into? Does it have similar gameplay or more action than eq2?

Thanks for the advice on this one guys,
WoW is in its way along with a 250GB HDD and another 512 RAM, since i read somewhere its at least a 7GB installation!

Lockstock2sb, do you play as that name on WoW too?

Quick update,

After finally getting WoW up and running i had my first few hours playing last night.

What can i say? Im hooked!! Its unbelivable how expansive the game is and there seems to be 100's of routes to take through the game.

My question to any WoW players is which way did you progress? Is it a good idea to just keep progressing through quests or more one to one combat?

Cheers!
