What up with you and Warcraft?
I will never play the game and I will never watch the movie. But have fun. ;P

''The game''? Which game are you refering to? Theres more than one Warcraft game you know and this movie is based around the very first game which you SHOULD play since its so iconic and awesome, youre realy missing out by not doing yourself a favour and playing trough the majestic Warcraft franchise, feel bad for you.

Ok. Then I will NEVER EVER EVER play ALL the Warcraft games. ^_^ I would personally prefer to play Bad Rats rather than Warcraft and I mean it. :P

Orcs and Humans was one of my absolute favorites when it came out (yes, on DOS). WoW is NOTHING like the rest of the titles, if that's all you're going off of.

It's just that WoW looks completely boring to me. Games like Fallen Earth and The Elder Scrolls online, which weren't really good games, are a lot better than WoW (that's just my opinion). And about games like The Secret World, I would prefer to pay a lot to play this one, rather than play WoW even for free.

you do know that the Warcraft franchise started out as a RTS game until WoW came out, after Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne

What you're saying is that the first Warcraft games are better than WoW, right? They look less bad, but still boring (to me, of course).
Comment has been collapsed.
I would say that the second game is the highlight of the series. The first one is clunky and has not aged particularly well.

I have played the second one countless hours. I lost the CD years ago and figured out how to run dosbox just for that game.

Not just that, but you really can't compare one to the other. RTS vs MMORPG, apples and oranges, my friend.

Why? What do you have against Warcraft? If you like, you can just think of them as just another RTS realy, you dont have to care about the well made characters or the well written story archs, you can just play it as C&C or Starcraft, collect Resources, build bases, train units, attack enemy, simple as that, its not a bad franchise, the RTS games are better than the MMO anyway, not saying its bad though. Why, why would you play something so horrible as Bad Rats instead...? It doesnt have a great story or amazing soundtrack or vast amount of units, worlds, interesting scenarios, its torture to play that horrendus thing... but i mean, thats your choice i guess, its realy a great franchise still, Blizzard is more famous for Warcraft than Starcraft you know, you atleast have played Starcraft right..? And if you loved SC, you'l love WC if you just give it a try, be open minded and such, heck, start with Warcraft 3 to be most impressed, im just saying, just dont play WoW, WoW doesnt have anything to do with the greatness of what is Warcraft.

Because Bad Rats would be more enjoyable and less boring than WoW, that's why. :P I care a lot about the story. But at least, in Bad Rats I would have to use my brain in order to solve the puzzles, so it wouldn't be that boring. In WoW, where's the excitement exactly? Just think that some of my favorite games are Bully: Scholarship Edition, Deponia, Valiant Hearts: The Great War, and Anna's Quest. And no, I don't like Starcraft, but I know it can be a bit more enjoyable than WoW. Sorry that I'll say that, but I would prefer to play Bad Rats rather than play games like LoL, WoW, Minecraft, DotA, Diablo, etc. :P I know that some of them have nothing to do with the others, but I'm just saying that I would never play them.

....youre not serious are you...? Well...maybe youre partialy right if you try to play WoW as the only single player in a server, that totaly would be boring, yes, the empty feeling would get to you... but otherwise if you encounter alot of player interactions, WoW can be a realy fun game, you can believe me on that, it can get exciting discovering new places and new monstrosities to vanquish, solo or with a temporary partner, chit chatting, it can be a decent expierience. If you care alot about the story then youre in luck because Warcraft story from 1 to 3 has its weight in gold when it comes to the story, not just the gameplay. You dont have to use that much of your brain in Bad Rats, but you definetly have to think in Warcraft as to where to build, what to build, how many workers to train and how many to send after gold and wood, how many units to train and which ones, to upgrade or not to upgrade, where to go, how best to complete the objective, etc. you gotta think in there too, won win if you dont use your brain. Wheres the excitment in WoW? Traveling trough the worlds from your starting place, to the very far away lands of enemy territory, seeing and meeting players both from Horde or Alliance, interact and talk with them, participate in huge player battles called battlegrounds that can realy give you lots of adrenaline, complete quests all over to increase your might and become stronger because things only get scarier and Harder the further you advance, consulte the huge world map, explore and discover random things, participate in dungeon raids, theres alot of excitment to have as long as youre in a heavily populated server and you happen to be playing at the right time and this is me talking from my small expierience with WoW, which has been epic honestly but we both have missed out on too much, i havent even expierienced everything since im such a stupid casual nooby scrub... Bully, Deponia, Valiant Hearts, good story games. Awwwhh, you dont like Starcraft...? That is a horrible shame... it indeed can be more enjoyable than WoW or vice versa, it realy depends, their different games, comparison is kind of dumb between a strategy game and mmo.... wow...that actualy hurts to hear that youd prefer Bad Rats over the other great games, altough LoL Minecraft and Dota are trash though, Heroes of Newerth is the best moba. But realy dude, would it hurt for you to experiment, try out, have the satisfaction of having tried out something and THEN have more accertisy to claim a game is boring? Yes, they dont have nothing to do with the others. Why would you not play a moba though..? If you love action, it has plenty of that and HoN is better than LoL or DotA. I hope you someday reconsider and change your mind and actualy do try out Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 with both expansions (but not WoW obviously) and then you could realy see what youve missed out this whole time but for now, i get it, you dont like, you dont want, understood. Just saying, if you ever think of starting somewhere, Warcraft 3 is the best for that and then actualy backwards untill Warcraft 3 is fully remade in Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 4 finaly gets made, over 10 years and still nothing...
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't like MOBA at all. And I've seen gameplay videos of the games I told you, that's why I'm talking about them. ;P Well, Bad Rats has some puzzles, so you need to use your brain to solve them. About Warcraft and where to build and such, you don't really need to think that much or else, with the same logic, you have to use your brain for every game ever released. xD And all the things that you told me that Warcraft has, are quite similar with any other MMORPG. Only the characters and the powers are different.
Comment has been collapsed.
...but... why dont you like it? It can give you such a rush! But alright, thats sad to hear but fair enough... seen gameplay videos? But it can be a total different expierience if its you who is playing, its better to play than to watch but atleast youve seen i suppose. Bad Rats has bad puzzles but you still need to think, yes but Warcraft is no different when it comes to thinking, you wont win if you just spam one type of unit and turtle or whatever, there are unit counters, units made for specific roles and your hero units can change strategies alot, you realy need to think whats the best course of action instead of being random, you have to think much actualy, more than in other games because Warcraft is a STRATEGY game franchise, strategy means smart, aka thinking. Warcraft, similar to any other MMORPG?? Not at all, the only MMORPG aspect of Warcraft is in Warcraft 3 only and that is the hero units, of which you can have from 1 to 3 that level up to level 10 max and you have to think which abilities you want first and how to best play with them, everything else about Warcraft is NOT a MMORPG but rather a quite standart RTS, build units, destroy units, build buildings, destroy buildings, do specific obejctives occasionaly, not realy MMOish at all. The characters and powers are indeed different but theres not alot of them to make the game stand out any more than it already has with them, you will mostly have to rely on units rather than your hero character, their pretty week for most of the campaigns. Heck, if you'd like, you could do it so that you dont do anything MMORPGish like, dont use your heroes, dont do Secondary Quests, you can play it totaly like a normal RTS which it mostly is and just enjoy the big growing story and rich character development.

It has 18% on RottenTomatoes and Twitch is breaking its back to kiss the ass of Blizzard and the studio to offer as much free additional promotion for the film as humanly possible.
So it may be hilariously funny, albeit not because it was intended to be that way.
Comment has been collapsed.
Rotten Tomatoes is never lying, man, so it must suck. It wasn't supposed to be a quality movie anyway. :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, it was supposed to be an Uwe Boll movie, so it has to be better, no matter the quality of it. Plus don't forget that Blizzard has one of the most religious followings among video game developers, so many, many gamers will watch it no matter what, and many of those would even love it if it was an Uwe Boll film simply because of the original.
Personally, I'm expecting another by-the-numbers stock fantasy adventure with lots of CG to mask the lack of plot. If it is better than the Clash of Titans remake (although that had 28%…), it is already a winner…

Uwe Boll movie? Why did you say that? xD I know, they have fans. They made the movie because they knew that their fans would spend their money even if the movie is totally bad.

Heeey, nice summer pic :) Well, I've read that if you are a Warcraft player, there are many little things that you will instantly recognize. I didn't play WoW, but I'm playing Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm, and I played the Warcraft strategy games, so I will definitely see the movie, just to see these things in it. But I hear that the whole movie is really a big fanservice, and it's a bad movie if you don't know the Warcraft universe. So don't expect a good movie, but expect a good Warcraft "show".

And yeah, I don't think I really expect anything, I'm not much of a movie watcher, and bad at judging movies anyway...

I've played warcraft games for a long time and if you know a bit about the lore relating to the movie its good as it'll make it easier to follow, there are a couple of things that are different because they made the movie more watchable for people that dont know much about the game, there are also a few easter eggs in reference to WoW.
Overall... i liked it, and im hoping they go ahead with a second one, kinda want to see what trolls/tauren look like when they're done with them
Comment has been collapsed.
There were no Tauren in the second game, you'l have to make do with Ogres if they make a second movie about the second game.
Comment has been collapsed.
i know, im talking about the movies though, and Duncan said in an interview that he'd like to introduce more of the other races in the next movie, including tauren, so it all depends on what story they decide to tell in the movie.
If they follow the lore step by step then yeah, probably wont be next movie but the one after
Comment has been collapsed.
Aaaaah, i see...and so, a next movie is pretty much confirmed then? Alright...guess we just got to wait then. I too would like to see how trolls would look like, the forest ones, not the headhunter ones cause they also came first. Its realy up to them on what to do, they wanted to do a movie on the first game, didnt do so great with it by the looks of it but i dont see a reason to skip ahead lore and events so my money's on the next movie focusing on WC2 Tides of Darkness, we might see the young Uther for all we know of, death knights, lots of ships, could be great, id love if they did the second movie on that, good events and many battles happened.
Comment has been collapsed.
They've only said that a second one will be made if there is enough interest in this one... so I'm hoping for the best :D I'd love it if they did WC2, but at this point... i'd be happy with anything, there is just so much to tell in terms of lore/story that I'm sure no matter what they choose it'll be good
Comment has been collapsed.
I see...reviewers hate it and viewers like it, so anything could happen but more than likely a new movie will be made im sure, then we will have to see if they skip anything and how much, those 40 minutes they cut out sound realy worrysome and bad so i dont hold hope for success...but i think theres enough chance for one sequel atleast, im sure you hoping for the best will pay off :) yes, as i said, i too would love WC2 movie cause alot of good action happened there, like Orcs including Trolls and Ogres into the Horde and the Alliance including High Elves, Gnomes and Dwarfs on their side. Nyeah, i get you, this isnt a easy happening thing so anything that would happen, would be something you could be happy for, for being somehow possible, i never realy expected a Warcraft movie to begin with so theres that, even though i feared they wouldnt do it justice enough... mmhm, too much lore and story to tell, i realy dont know anything outside the second and third game, much. Itll be good? Well it depends if they can make sure it comes out good, for that we will hope and wait.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah at this point is just a matter of crossing fingers but I think they'll release an extended cut with the extra 40mins, i want to see what they cut out of the movie, Duncan said that universal felt they were meaningless to the story so... incredibly curious! :D

Mmhm, just finger crossing is...all that can ever be done realy... an extended cut...? Thats pretty stupid to not release the full movie right from the start if you ask me, that so far has only hurted them... mmhm, i too would like to see what was cut if i ever get the chance to watch it. Meaningless to the story...? Oh, im sorry, did Universal create the Warcraft universe? What a bunch of dumbasses... i dont care how meaningless it is, maybe its character bonding or downtime or whatever, to get some character development, huge shame they cut it out, it could have been anything...indeed, very curious for sure, anything more is welcome realy.

I'm not a fan or Warcraft but the movie looks well-made. Saw the trailer and didn't even think of Warcraft at all, for me it was just something similar to lord of the rings just with different characters and more fantasy to it.
tl;dr - if you dislike warcraft that's one thing, but the movie is another, you should watch it!

My friend is a WoW addict, he watched it last week and said it's good. They put so much of the lore in the movie and he enjoyed that, if you don't know anything about Warcraft you won't enjoy it much. He even took the movie poster from the cinema home, WoW addiction at it's best.

Never played any Warcraft game but maybe I'll watch the movie someday (if it pops up on Netflix only) because it's an easier way to know what the plot is about.

I have seen the movie. Its ok. Its not about wow, its about warcraft, the first strategy game. Some things, places and characters, are from the games. The events are, in fact, from the game too but not exactly. They have some liberty in order to make a 90 minutes story. It screams for a second part after the end.
The ending is abrupt, you can feel it, he producers took away 40 minutes without the director, Ducan Jones, could do shit about it... and you can SEE the cuts. You'll see.
Enjoy, for me its a 6/10 a nice summer movie.

Pretty much this. Besides the obviously rushed ending, it also bugged me somewhat that most of the actors looked too young for their roles.

I have played Warcraft 1-3 (not including the Frozen Throne expansion, although I do own it), and have loved them all. Even though I prefer turn-based strategy games, I liked the backstory and races the Warcraft games had to them. I've never played WoW(I don't play MMOs), but it does look quite nice.:)
I will probably wait until Warcraft comes out on DVD before I end up seeing it.

Not playing Frozen Throne has been a huge mistake, you realy should do it, youve missed out immensly for the story and the multiplayer games, altough people still play them on gameranger if you ever wanna go there. I hope you atleast played trough the Beyond the Dark Portal expansion for Warcraft 2. Shame you didnt play WoW either, it can have epic moments, or had anyway...

Why dont you know absolutely nothing about the Warcraft lore? Its Incredible. You'l love the expierience you'l have with the 3 games and their 2 expansions, aswell as the MMO cause discovering and exploring the different worlds, lands, enviroments, creatures, learning events, happenings and troubles, talking with strangers and working with them alone was a great expierience for me besides the great gameplay, esspecialy the intense epic battlegrounds :) highly suggest you get into Warcraft someday when youre feeling like trying out new things, 3rd is the best ofcourse, for the story and the multiplayer. As a matter of fact, why dont you watch the Warcraft Honest Game Trailer that recently got made? Altough, it tells true things about it and if you dont know Warcraft, it actualy wouldnt be helpfull to watch, nevermind... but nyeah, shame you dont know it, you would atleast be uplifted about the news otherwise.
Comment has been collapsed.
It actualy is a pretty easy franchise to get into, all you could do is just play the best Warcraft there is, the 3rd one with the Frozen Throne expansion that not only features Incredible story campaigns but terrific multiplayer modes and maps from which Dota was born afterall, but besides that, theres alot of greatness to have, speaking of which, some people are actualy making a standalone game out of one of the multiplayer modes, same as they did with Dota, making it into its own game, that game is Legion TD 2 which you can already check out on steam and in the description they even tell you that, that shows how much greatness you can have both in singleplayer and multiplayer, gameranger allows that or even other methods, havent realy checked. Playing Warcraft 2 and its expansion, aswell as Warcraft 1 might be a little less worthwhile but their still great games, if you'd like, you can always watch lets plays and walktroughs on youtube but its much more fun, interesting, actiony, exciting, enganging when playing yourself. Yes their old games but that means nothing, old is gold as they say GTA III is old but great, Mafia 1 is old but great, age doesnt matter, they have aged nicely for the most part and shouldnt deter you from having a grand expierience. Much more recent Strategy games to consider first...? Well actualy there isnt alot more when it comes to recent, not alot are being made anymore so youre realy better of playing classic old awesome strategy games that were great back then and still are, again, age doesnt matter, the content itsself matters and its wonderfull. You are very correct about WoW, it requires too much time, its too hard to find a perfect server you want to settle down on and thus you end up just trying out servers and losing time youve invested in each if you keep switching, even between the different realms on each server on which you can spend immense amounts of time and still not be done with everything that is offered, its a real time sink even on one race alone and discluding player interactions, theres so much that needs and takes time and that has turned me off since i couldnt find my place, i feel like ive spent too much time and have either gotten nowhere or barely anywhere, always being a casual dumb nooby loser, not getting anywhere, so youre right about that but it can still be a good expierience if it Works out. And you dont have to pay anything, there are private servers thousands of people play every day, certainly you must have heard of those assholes Blizzard shutting down a vanilla private WoW server, a server that doesnt have any of the expansions, just the awesome base game which still offers alot, the only thing you have to pay to play on private servers is your hard drive space, and time realy, i dont want to pay the monthly fee either, only WoW extremists do that realy. But WoW is free just as the original three games are if youre willing to try them out but to be honest, the first three RTS Warcrafts are great and the WoW isnt when it comes to story, theres just continuously too much happening, you cant follow everything, the world and characters changes after each expansion, characters from the originals just die and die and you dont give a toss about the WoW characters, it just not good, not for me anyways when it comes to the story continued in WoW, i just cant get to care, i just want to play and the old Warcrafts told the story more and better than WoW has, its like, background has stuff happening, you know....anyway, i realy reccomend Warcraft 1, Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness + Beyond the Dark Portal, Warcraft 3 Reigns of Chaos and Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne, this is one of the franchises that made up the gaming industry and is legendary, it has rich story and great characters and sweet gameplay, if you had to play one game, have it be Warcaft 3, its modern, recent enough. Yeah, youre welcome for the advice, i just want to share the great expierience i had with these games cause it could be a great expierience for you too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Mmhm, it is great, more or less, but mostly more. Youve barely played any RTS? Realy? I tought you were decently familiar with them, i myself had Dune: The Battle for Arrakis on my Sega Mega Drive II as a child over like 15 years ago or so, that game probably got me into RTS'es and C&C Tiberium Wars, Red Alert, Starcraft, KKnD Xtreme, State of War not too long after only sealed the deal of me liking the genre, its just so satisfying to build, train and conquer, but..i guess you didnt have a early extensive rts expierience :( .... i realy recommend trying out rtses, old and new cause their all good. What? Just cause youve barely played any rtses, doesnt neccesarily mean that you should exclusively play shiny brand new games, that doesnt make sense...but...i guess you dont like old games, not even the ones from your childhood huh.... more easily aprochable? But..pretty much any rts is easily aprochable, it just depends which game is more complex like Company of Heroes 2 which i myself dont do well in at all... but, why would you rather try out Starcraft 2 instead of Starcraft 1...? You can begin playing it just as easy, and it came first, its the original, the story begins there and wont make sense in the second if you didnt play it back then, you wouldnt enjoy having classic units like Firebats and Wraiths, only for them to be removed from multiplayer, and you wouldnt care for the characters as much, it doesnt make sense and isnt just worth it because you can do the same things in SC1 that you can in SC2, it just looks newer and that doesnt mean anything, doesnt the gameplay matter more than graphics...? Please dont tell me you wouldnt play Age of Empires II and III, Mafia: The city of Lost Heaven, GTA III, Saints Row 2, any old great game just cause of that logick...? I dont understand it, their not complicated....no, a better aproach would be to start with the best humble legendary iconic beginnings before moving on to failed, moderate or succesfull sequels, chronology matters. What??? I mean... sure... WC3 graphics are wobbly...but its 3D!!! Previous games were 2D and isometric, top down but again, graphics dont matter and these graphics are great, passable and acceptable, behind these graphics are enjoyable, classic, fun, challangeing gameplay and story, realy... i dont get why it would put you off, thats realy sad :( .... oh...alright, fair enough, dont play WoW then, altough again, you'd be missing out tons of...its too bad you got addicted to Dota when HoN was always better and came before it did, but alright.... eh...im guessing its good news for you then that someone is recreating WC3 in SC2 called Armies of Azeroth or something...but the original is still great, all game ones are, if you play newer games, older ones will be much, much Harder to get into...and again, there isnt much recent out there, Starcraft 2 is a little old but its so good, its still relevant, besides that there is Act of Aggresion but its not as good as the Act of War games are, the first ones, neither is 8 Bit Armies...youre seriously better of playing the old first games from the 90s and onward, their just better than what they make nowadays, realy...somehow you gotta get over that need for best graphics thing i recommend... just give everything a chance, dont think, just try it, dont like it, move on or respect the title and finish it to never return...its just heartbreaking to know youve missed out on so much greatness...and its up to you whetever you want to catch up and visit the great past. For example, playing the first two Dawn of Wars would be great before Dawn of War III comes out.

Most of the movies that are based on videogames suck anyway, if you read the reviews. It's not because of the storyline that the original game has, but because of the studios that are trying to profit as much as possible from something that is somewhat well known to people. Maybe it has bad reviews because critics who rate the movie aren't very familiar with the game that the movie is based on anyway.

So this has nothing to do with Wow. Nothing at all. It's about the strategy game from the 90s. I loved that game in 95. With a passion. Blizzard's best days by far. Played the heck out of it for years, even revisited it later in next century and it was still amazing, so maybe I'll enjoy this more than others even if my gut does indeed tell me that it will probably be a sucky film.
Not sure if it's worth watching in theater though... Are at least the graphics and overall sound worth it?

I loved Warcraft III. That itself got me into Dota. And strangely enough, I was like 10 years late for WoW. Maybe started to play 2 years ago on private servers and just started the retail this month :D

There's some overlap anyway. The first sentence on IMDB says "Azeroth" which is a WoW thing too. Then there are orcs and all that stuff I know from WoW. Wouldn't say that's nothing at all, even if the story is not made after any WoW expansion.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well Azeroth as a location and base, and the war between humans and orcs were both in the storyline right from the beginning of the franchise anyway so it really doesn't say much by itself. Gul'dan, Grom and others always existed as background lore and you also found them in the strategy games, in the campaigns at some point.
Naturally there is lore and some basic things that are existent in all games in the franchise. Overlaps indeed. What's more important is what they do with all that in terms of story.
Comment has been collapsed.
Keep in mind that lore-wise World of Warcraft is a continuation from Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne, and Warcraft 1 and 2 are about 25 and 15 years earlier in the timeline respectively.
So the events of the strategy games and by extent the movie are more or less "the history of WoW". Or as much as remains of that through all the retcons and stuff that have taken place to explain away some of the more half-baked plots in WoW, including too many characters who were "only mostly dead".
Comment has been collapsed.
And you only learn now that its not about WoW...? Yup, Blizzards best days for sure, any developers best days realy were the old days because the old games are the best games, golden age of gaming is the best, they dont make games like they used to. Hopefully you didnt play JUST the first game though. And how can you not know if the graphics are worth it from the trailers they have shown...? Yes their worth it, aswell as the sounds, but the story, plot, execution of it, pacing, etc. is another question in matter...

Lucky you! This reminds me of that time when a mate won two tickets to Tomb Raider back in 2001 and gave me one of them.
Now, I haven't played WoW, but I did enjoy the old Warcraft 1 and 2. That said I think I will watch the film, although not in a theatre.
I don't feel comfortable in theatres, so I'll wait for the DVD/BlueRay release.
Also I don't really pay too much attention to critics and popular ratings... After all I watched the Warhammer movie, and it wasn't quite as bad as the general opinion may lead you to believe.
Have fun!

You didnt enjoy the old Warcraft 3 though...?

I didn't play the 3rd... yet. It's on my list, though it's growing faster than I can play :D
I ultimately skipped WoW because at the time I switched from Ultima Online straight to DDO where I exclusively played Permadeath. Those two absorbed all the time I could dedicate to MMOs for quite a while.

Its been out for so long, youve REALY missed out on buddy, not just on the story that has been the Building blocks for WoW, but on the extensive impressive enjoyable many varied multiplayer games and modes that spawned Dota and a soon to come LT Legion game or whatever its called, a standalone-on-its-own game from one of the many game modes thats also going to be free to play, which is cool. But Gameranger is there and perhaps other methods to expierience the online goodness of WC3. Well, atleast its on your list, where exactly on the list it is im not sure, but atleast you still intend to play it... growing faster than you can play, nyeah, i was afraid of that :{ maybe better get done with the old to make way for the new...? Just a tought.
Skipped WoW because two other MMOs stole your time...? They must have been pretty great MMOs since you said you enjoyed the first two warcrafts (and the expansion for the second one aswell?) so naturaly i would think you would realy want to play WoW but...i guess not apparently...bit of a shame but...well, it is what it is, youve missed out on even more tonns of events, players, changes, but...eh...what can ya do.... those two absorded all your time, nyeah, i see....oh well. Well, as long as you had fun i suppose...

Well, yes pretty much. Ultima Online was the first proper MMO in history, and Ultima VI my favourite video game ever.
At the time, there were no other MMOs, they just didn't exist yet. That was the game to play, especially if you liked to roleplay which is what I prefer to do in a, well, massively multiplayer online roleplaying game :)
I had a small family of characters, including an elderly wizard with tattered clothes and a stupid brown horse, the obligatory blacksmith/miner, a thief who could make a living by pickpocketing NPCs in dungeon Wrong, and a beggar with decent cooking and camping skills.
If you ask anyone who has played Ultima Online, they will tell you how addictive and different it was.

Oh.... oh.. i.. i see...oh wow, thats...thats pretty remarkable, amazing sounding...from this alone it sounds pretty great, roleplaying, yes, great thing...nyeah, alright, it was THE game to play since no other existed, so i guess thats pretty justifiable and understandable and is fine then that you missed out on WoW cause that seems like a damn good expierience on its own. But you know, its WoW still exists if you ever feel like getting your feet wet with it, much have passed and changed, missed and not seen or people met, but its still there. For now, uuuh...keep enjoying Ultima and DDO then i suppose. But do make time for Warcraft 3 at some point, once you start, i gurrantee you will regret not having played it before :) i just hope youre able to set it up well, it doesnt exactly bode well with modern equipment...

Not interested in the movie.
Going by the trailers I've seen, it's on par with the BloodRayne movie - decent-to-good cast of actors, and not much else going for it.

I just won two tickets to the premiere of Warcraft tonight.
Just wondering if there are any people here who have already seen it. How did you like it?
Or if you haven't seen, are you excited to see it?
As an ex-WoW player, I really wanted to see, and feeling super lucky to win these tickets. :3
Obligatory gibways, have some BloodRayne.
