WoW definately looks like an interesting game...a friend of mine got in on the stress test and it did look promising...the only thing I don't like is the monthly payments. :(

[germanNiklas]

yeah me too but this will be the first mmorpg ill get

The monthly payments really are worth it. If you compare a MMORPG to another online non-paying game you really see what you get.

Counterstrike sure would be a lot better if it had a monthly subscription type system, just think about all the little kiddies who wouldn't care to get on and swear all over the place.

luckely im in a clan and we have own server
we have some "rules" on our server . . .

if u swear and call other players NOOB etc u get a warning . . . if its going on i kick or ban them

there are enough cs players, dont want idiots on our server

Cutting down on the immature is definately a major bonus (players have to be 18+ or borrow a credit card).

CS wouldn't work with a pay per month format, but I see what your saying. Withoug monthly payments the amount of service and upgrades needed to sustain a MMORPG couldn't be hit.
