Re: World of Warcraft comes out Nov. 23
[ QUOTE ]
i have too many gaming hobbies already and i'm trying to limit them to ones that make me money or improve my thinking. [/ QUOTE ] Having played DAoC for about 3 years, I thought MMORPGs got more and more complicated the higher a character levelled up. But what these games really have helped me with is patience. Trying to level my crafter all the way to the top took over a month. Achieving a very high status took several months. As a result this indirectly transferred over to my poker which I also learned that in order to well took many hours of patience. As for making money, I wouldn't say that it's not possible, but definitely not as profitable as poker. There are many 3rd party companies who sell online currency, loot, and even characters for real money...cough..ebay..cough. But then again I like to play for fun and bragging rights. I'll stay with my day job and poker for money. |

Currently, the only thing I have is a laptop with a 1.1ghz celeron, 256mb ram, and onboard video. [/ QUOTE ] I've heard that even a system with a Geforce3, 1.5 Ghz, and about 512 mb ram running at 800 by 600 is pretty good. The game doesn't require a power system to run. Kudos to Blizzard. |

I played for 36 hours straight yesterday. Once I start playing that game I can't stop. [/ QUOTE ] Didn't some Korean kid die because he didn't sleep for 3 days of non-stop playing of Lineage? LOL, don't over do it bro. It is after all just a game, but as a hardcore gamer myself I know how you feel. |

Re: World of Warcraft comes out Nov. 23
I made a decent amount of money playing EQ for a few months last year. My hourly rate was slightly below minimum wage, but if I wasn't playing poker, I'd rather play some repetitive game all day than go to a real job. Since it was something I was doing anyway, the extra $1k or so a month was a nice way to at least justify it to my wife.

Am I to understand that if I sign up for crappy FilePlanet I can play the stress test NOW?

Re: World of Warcraft comes out Nov. 23
I think that's for closed beta testers only, but open beta should be happening any day. Just make sure to check their website a lot, I'm sure the slots will go fast.
