World of Warcraft
imagist42:
Actually, if I were to be around when the level cap is raised (which I'm not), I probably would hop on again, level to 80, and then get bored enough to quit. As I've said before, I only enjoy the game when I'm a) growing as I explore the world (progressing from area to area and levelling with quests), or b) taking it on as some kind of full-time job, constantly playing through endgame content for better and better gear. And I have come to acknowledge (twice; both before and after TBC) that I simply cannot afford to do the second one. So while I will not be able to play the game for quite some time, I could easily see myself coming back eventually to catch up on all the former type of fun that I have missed, then dropping when I hit whatever the level cap is at that point.

I am still at 60 because I've been playing other things for a bit. Some of the changes look good, but others like the Warrior talent tree revamp look like they are going to alter the way I play completely, which is not so good. Oh well, I guess we'll see how things pan out.
Covetous:
Indeed it is very tempting. Think about all the new fun blue and purpel stuff you can find. But I get so much done now that I'm not playing any mmorpgs. Thats one of my main reasons not to ever with start WoW again. It takes so "jävla" much time.

The experience boost should be something more reasonable, like a constant 1.5x rested state or something. I guess they just figure people want to get to 60 and jump into Outland as soon as possible, but that's forgetting that millions of people found Azeroth fun enough before TBC.

The biggest problem with the Recruit-a-Friend is the monetary issue. You're not earning a proportionate amount of gold to properly up your skills. I'm currently level 40 with a whopping six gold to my name and only one blue item because I have to sink pretty much everything I get into skills. My Druid is rough enough (I solo with him a lot too, so that helps), but my hunter is absolutely fucked cause I overindulged in the grant a level from my brother, so now I can't afford ANY skills most of the time and my professions are practically non-existent at like level 32.
The recruit-a-friend drive seems less designed for new players and more designed for former players who'd like to circumvent the grinding and know enough ins and outs of the game to keep their earnings on proper pace. Rachel's got money on alts and from her dad and my brother played for years and knows how to easily earn gold. It kind of leaves the legitimate new users they're allegedly trying to entice out in the cold. That said, I'm still playing, so I guess they're doing something right.

So I guess I am about to take the plunge into this seething pit of terror! YAY!
