Hi,
Well, my free month runs out on May 23rd. I need some help figuring out if I should subscribe or not.
This game seems pretty fun, but I got a character into that place called Outland, and some of the quests were just horrible. Go collect 4 of this and 4 of that, when they drop off 1 in about 5-10 mobs? You actually think you might be killing the wrong things after the first 4 yield nothing LOL. I noticed no such issues in Eastern Kingdoms. Also, this doesn't seem to be an issue in Borean Tundra. So, is this just an Outland issue, or does Northrend, Cata, and Mop, have the same issue too?
While I'm on the subject of Borean Tundra, what the heck is up with experience in Northrend? I've just gone from 68-72 and I'm only 95/130 for the Borean achievement LOL. That was with only doing 2 dungeons. Is it like this in Cata and MoP too? I'd really like to be able to complete some zones before leveling to the next expansion!
Also, where the heck is everybody? Aren't there supposed to be lots of people online at the same time? In questing up to 72, I've barely seen 5 other players the whole time questing out in the world. I did get to see one level 90 Horde in EPL though, and he just decided to kill me. Maybe it's a good job I don't see more people out in the world :). I guess most of the players are 90 now (I'm late to the party) and are in Pandaria or something. The other advantage of not seeing anyone else is that questing is going really quickly, and I have no trouble with my gathering profs, so there is that.
On a brighter note, the server I play on does seem to be pretty good. I was questing in Duskwood yesterday, and went in the Darkshire Inn. There were 4 level 90s having dinner there and sharing Stew and stuff, it was great.
BTW: I play on The Venture Co. My 8 characters are in the 24-72 range, and my personal guild is now level 8.
So you got to let me know. Should I stay or should go?
Cheers.

A level 80 personal guild, eh? Well done!
I don't know if you should sub or not. It seems that you aren't terribly happy on a non-CRZ realm. Perhaps you should consider rerolling or server transferring. I hear that realms like Illidan or Stormrage are lots of fun and from the sounds of it, their high population zones would suit you better :)

What's CRZ?

Really? Trollzone is over there on 4chan.

Oh, you mean that if I play on an RP server, I don't need to RP here too? I wiped the slate clean a month ago and am RPing as a new player.
Cheers.

You don't even have to RP on the server if you don't want to. There is no requirement at all to be role player just because you choose one of the servers that do that.

Getting up to max level is the first half of the game. What you do at max level (i.e., raiding or PvP or whatever) is the second half.
And don't worry, the questing from 80-90 is much, MUCH better than the 60-80 slog. If you were happy with the game from 1-60, then you'll enjoy it from 80-90

OMG you only had to collect a lousy 4 items? When my toons were there it was between 6 and 12, sometimes 30, so lucky you if you only had to gather four LOL

Do you ever bother looking at the Achievement UI to find out what you have to do for the various achievements in a zone?
For just one achy, one you need to COMPLETE 130 Borean Tundra quests . That means you need to do all the quests in every quest hub and some of them are a bit off the beaten path. Just follow the bread crumb quests and you can't go wrong.
Also, where the heck is everybody? Aren't there supposed to be lots of people online at the same time? In questing up to 72, I've barely seen 5 other players the whole time questing out in the world.

Well playing on a low pop rp-pvp realm isn't going to help your case any! Why the heck didn't you stick to normal if you wanted to RP?
Wyrmrest Accord is HIGH pop
I also don't think the RP servers are
C

R
ealm
Z
ones enabled so you've missed the boat there too.
The game now pretty much starts to get interesting at level 80. I personally loved the Cata zones and so far Pandaria.
Stick around for a few more months! It's not like that's going to break your wallet.
But I'd advise moving to a populated realm with CRZ enabled.

No... no, I'm pretty sure there are CRZs on RP servers. My main is on Moonguard and I'm certain I've seen players from other servers just randomly in zones. It's a nice surprise really, especially since most folks tend to hang out in Pandaria or major cities.
To OP: You got that song stuck in my head. You may as well stick around too.

Some are excluded from CRZ because there are no other RP servers on that data center, Venture Co is one of them I believe.

Before people get too bent out of shape explaining to Lanky how good a game WoW is, and how he shouldn't judge it by how empty it is, I think they should be aware that this thread is a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor by a long-term wow player who re-rolled on his current server specifically to get away from CRZ. I think the thread is all in good fun, but I want to head off any possible negative reactions from people not in on the joke.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

This indecision's bugging me.
Aww ElhonnaDS, such a killjoy. But I am also interested in how wowheaders would respond to a new player who had the perspectives I had on the first month.
If I go there will be trouble. But if I stay, it will be double :)
Cheers.

Which fails from the get go because most people seem to know you here, which basically turns your "tongue in cheek, roleplay" or whatever into a troll attempt.
Maybe a mod should just lock this thread, isn't it kind of redundant now?(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##We've already addressed the issue for people not getting the joke. Please don't flame the thread.

edit: message received and rules re-read, will do my best not to let it happen again. /salute(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##Actually, it's against the for it to be done. Please don't post art like this on the forums.

Serious post or not;
You should subscribe to the game solely based on your decision and your decision only; If you feel it's worth your money to do so, then feel free to continue playing.
If the cons outweigh the pros then it might be the best decision to not subscribe to the game.
If you choose to subscribe, assuming you use a credit card, you can cancel at any time and it will stop when it was supposed to renew, so you can keep playing until then and get your moneys worth.
Have fun!

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to set up a 6 month subscription on this new account.
Cheers.
