Welcome to the Escapist. Expect fun speeches.

OT: I don't play WoW for but one reason: It costs money monthly. I'd probably play it otherwise.

Tried it, found it boring, repetitive and demanding alot from my computer even though the graphics were awful.

I can't stand it personally, as it's all the killing of a generic fps, with none of the skill. The money is not an issue, I just found it boring beyond comprehension. I do, however, accept that this is my own view.

I play it. Not constantly, but I like going in, doing a few quesys, running around, catching some fish. Quite enjoyable really.

Wow, I really made a difference there huh!? 2:nd vote :p
I'd play WoW if I had a computer that could handle it.

Same here.

I've tried FFXI, City of Heroes/Villains, and Vanguard. After that, I pretty much gave up on subscription MMORPGS.

Guild Wars?
I used to play Guild Wars but I got bored with it and now only use it occasionally to chat with friends I made there. Guild Wars is actually the reason my name here is 'Aby'. I'll be waiting for Guild Wars 2 before I get back into an MMO.

I haven't played it because I refuse to pay for any MMO where there are subsciption fees. I'm just against the idea of subscriptions in general, I don't see how any game is worth me paying extra money each month to continue playing on top of the cash I'm already laying down for the game itself. If they go rid of subscription fees then maybe I'd be willing to give WoW a go, but not until that day comes.

I love WoW! But I've had three problems: one, the monthly subscription gets very costly, even though I find I get more out of $15 a month than $60 for a whole game. Two, I have had a problem finding time to play the game. Third, my computer is so out-of-date that I get horrible performance out of WoW. Still, very, very fun.

I grinded a Shaman to lv 70, but was put off by 1) atrocious class balancing and 2) being forced to spend hours inside grinding while my social skills slowly decrease

I used to play, it's a good game. People complain that it costs 9GBP a month, but actually that's cheaper than what I have to spend on games now. I spend about 15 to 20GBP a month on a new game now, but it keeps the feeling of gaming fresh, something new, rather than playing the same thing over and over again. I don't think I can go back to WoW, I need variety.

I used to play it, and I still think it's really great. I just don't have any motivation to go past level 30 or so, though.

Played it from European release to last August, probably going to start playing around Cataclysm to see what the new world is like.

None of the above. I played it for a while and enjoyed it (mostly) at the time, but would not play it again.
