Well, since it is down time Tuesday on World of Warcraft, thought I would see just how many of us ethical hackers play WoW.  I know just about everyone in our IT department, all over the age of 30, play WoW.  It is our off time hangout.

Hell, we have even had a few IT meetings in guild chat.  If you don't like WoW, what kind of MMORPG's do you guys play.

I don't play it, but I have heard its addictive. I also heard it requires a lot of time, which I really don't have.  I remember back in 1999 Unreal Tournament was the "official" game for most hackers.

I dont play WOW, but I did play Star Wars Galaxies when it first came out.
I was then on the EVE Online Beta, then played that for just over a year
Now I dont play any MMORPG as I just cant dedicate the time to be successful, and make the monthly subscription worthwhile.

I'm in the same boat. Don't have the time to play. I'd rather spend it growing EH-Net.  Wink

I played it for a year back in 2004/05 - I'm of the personality type where I have to be  the best at something when I do it otherwise I'm not satisfied - the unfortunate thing is when playing WoW - to be the best means spending the most time.  it did very bad things for my real life relationships and my job.  so I quit after a year and never looked back. 

I currently play a bit of guild wars - it's got a low level cap and you can go solo far more easily than WoW and you can easily spend only 45 mins or something one night without it dragging on like WoW raids did.

I also play Eve online occaisionally - the real-time skill training prevents the time-spent-in-game = advancement trap that I fall into easily and so I'm able to play it casually and still progress at the same rate as someone else who started the same time as me.

I am trying to get into the computer security field so learning after hours is taking up quite a significant portion of my time.  I can't really justify my eve account anymore actually....

I played WOW for a few years.  I quit just after the first expansion came out.  Like most games it had it's good and bad points.  The bad points have already been noted here already i.e. lots of time to be good and solo play not much fun and difficult.  Other then some personal issues I had with Blizzard the main reason I quit playing was the time factor.  My buddies mostly play Eve now and they say it is much more time friendly.

Yup, on the same page as many of the other guys... not enough time for a game that demands so much time.

Every once in a while I like to play SlaveHack when I'm bored... Smiley
