I fought for a year or more to not try WoW because i've heard how addicting it is. Constant nagging by a friend brought me on. I signed up in December and was hooked. Then when they issued patch 2.0.5, it pretty much destroyed any hope of continuing because I had an Nvidia Geforce4 MX4000 w/ 128MB, which is still an ok card, but not for WoW. So I broke down a couple of months ago and got an Nvidia Geforce 6200 w/ 256MB. Runs in Linux under Wine amazingly!

I just got a laptop with Vista, and I have yet to have any luck getting WoW to work under Ubuntu with the Intel drivers, but Vista has no problem at all, even with Aero running! LOL Go figure!

Alliance -- Stormreaver -- Blood Supremacy Guild
30 Human Warrior
27 Human Lock
18 Dwarf Hunter

Horde -- Rivendare
7 Blood Elf Lock

I really am not a fan of Alliance, but my friend is on and really doesn't like Horde side. I'd love to get my BE lock up to at least getting my VW. Which, after grinding with a guildie the other day, VW's Torment doesn't really work that well on mobs that a few lvl's higher than you. We were grinding in Arathi and ran across some 37 mobs and her VW couldn't hold threat for nothing. Of course I was trying to be a warrior and keep threat, but she was lvl 32! LOL. Her DPS was just through the roof!

I'm actually kinda scarred for when 2.1 comes out. I've heard it makes a lot of changes, and after the issues i had with 2.0.5, I'm hoping everything will go well!

The only thing I don't like about WoW is the amount of kids on. I mean, the guild I'm in, one of the guild leaders is 14! LOL I have a note next to my name that says I'm the grumpy old man of the guild! I'm only 29!!!!! But, then again, this is replacing my cable tv bill, so for the $15/month I'm getting pretty good entertainment!
