For me WoW is one of the most boring MMOs ive seen. It's just do quest, raid dungeon, PVP, or something, then repeat. I just don't get why such a basic game is so popular.
Take Shadowbane for example. It has everything WOW can offer and tops it off with deeper player customization and politics. Not the boring kind, i'm talking about stuff like sieging a guild's city with your guild, building your own in place of it, taxing other guilds' cities, deny them of resources by capturing all the mines in the area, arm your guild members with the best gear available(custom-made stuff in your city's factories) and sell off the rest for other players, then milk them even more by opening a trainer or trader oriented city, etc, territory fighting and capitalism FTW! And that's not half the things that make it so much more interresting than WoW, plus it's free.

It's 2in the morning and i feel i didn't manage to express this shit properly, in fact im ashamed when i proof read it, but you get the point so STFU in advance

If you have a lot of time on your hands, Get It

if you are down for a game completely stealing your life away, you could not go wrong with WoW.

That's like asking "should I try Heroin once?"

Simple answer: no. lol.
