I had to download a WoW trial account in order to try the game for my upcoming response paper.
So far, it is dead boring. There really isn't much thrill on double clicking on an enemy, then waiting for it to die. It just doesn't do it for me. Sure there are other skills- but the variety is dismal, at least for the first few hours or so, which is all I've played. It probably does not help that I played Lord of the Rings Online a couple months ago, thus, I have seen pretty much everything this game has to offer, only prettier. Also, even though I selected a "high" population server, I have not interacted with anyone in my first few hours. I have only seen a handful of people, who do not respond to anything I say.
Overall, I can see how LOTRO is pretty much exactly like WoW, only it offered much better graphics, a far more plentiful and varied amount of skills early on, and more player interaction.
I understand how WoW might get more enjoyable in higher levels, but I don't think I would ever degrade myself by suffering hour after hour of this crap just to get to something fun. In the words of Zero Punctuation's Yahtzee: "Fun" that thing you used to have before video games started feeling like a second job. *shows pic of WoW
