Yesterday, however, all of that changed and we went out and got a new computer. Nothing overly fancy, it is one of those eMachines. I never thought much about those, but man... the differences is unreal! And the biggest change is the graphics card. Much to my surprise, I could actually play games that were made in the past decade or so!
Now after all these years of only being able to play Final Fantasy XI, I made the jump to World of Warcraft. Sure it is a few years late, but I made it!
What I think I am enjoying the most about the game so far is just how easy it is to get into. I mean all the menus and all that other stuff is daunting! I won't shy away from saying that it had me intimidated for sure. But to me there is no comparison between Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft, as far as being a newbie. Unlike Final Fantasy XI, which doesn't really give you much help in any aspect of their game, I am impressed that WoW gives you just enough information to get going and not too much to overwhelm you.
Even though I am only playing the 10 trial version, I think I might actually like the game. I am wondering if I can solo up or do I need to find XP parties forever and ever. I tried playing as a Human Paladin and this morning saw me trying out the Night Elves. I am thinking I like the Night Elves a little better...

Are you playing with friends on a particular server? If not, might I suggest coming to Bronzebeard and playing Horde? You can join my little guild. We are not hardcore, but we're really good at leveling up alts and newbies. ;-) I have a guild on the Alliance side, as well, although we don't play that side much.
And you can solo to 80. As my son says, "WoW is Easy Mode." You can't get uber gear without parties, though. ;-)
Whoops... nah, I'm not playing with any friends or anything. Just sort of signed up for the trial, made a character and dropped him into one of the newbie servers.
I'll look into that server right now.
Since I moderate comments on my blog, just comment your character name so I can look for you after I get home from work. ;-) I'll reject the comment, but then I'll be able to find you. (I don't want to post my character name for all and sundry to read on the internet...lol)
Anyway, there are a number of restrictions in trial mode, for example, I can't give you anything and you can't join a guild. So retarded. I can chat with you and stuff, at least. But if you choose to keep playing, then once you upgrade, you can join us. =D
