Same,Played many of the "best" WoW PS out there,with 2k+ players,like "ani-wow" etc.
Not comparable to the real WoW =/
I think i'll just go to EBGames and see what games out there,maybe some new that gonna interest me,
cuz at the end,I would only be able to play 4 mounths of a P2P MMO =/

Eh IMO you screwed yourself over. Once you play those private servers, it ruins you. You just want that instant 70 like ani-wow offers. I played WoW for the longest time, than finally gave my account away and played on private servers. I made a comeback and I was so lazy, I didnt even want to level from 1-15.

Lineage 2, is honestly a huge p2p grindfest. It is fun when you are higher levels, but it is terrible making it up there. Play on the L2 private servers to experience what it is like.

Lotro has amazing graphics, but a pretty beat storyline. It was an attempt to follow the lore, but Lord of The Rings is so hard to make into a game. It is fun for awhile, but you get bored of it pretty fast considering the PVP aspect lacks.

COH/V I like this game however, it is hard to get into. It isn't one of those games that when you start you get hooked. It takes some time to get through the learning curve. It is a nice break from the normal Dungeons and Dragons based MMO's.

Guildwars, ahh the glorious guild wars. Loved this game, however the horrible attempt at making money and releasing of expansions that could have easily been added as regular game content aggrivated me. You have played it before, so you can form your own opinions about returning. But Eye of the North really has not changed at all..

As far as MMO's, take a look at some games not listed. Have you looked into Everquest, or Everquest 2? Everquest 2 is an amazing game, and one of the most addicting to be honest. At the same sub price as WoW, if your pc can handle it. That is the way to go, if not check out Everquest 1, I had played this game for over 8 and a half years. It is a little rough starting new, but you eventually get the hang of it.

If you like, not grinding and tradeskilling(crafting) and pvp everquest 2 is a good way to go. They have actually lowered the amount of exp you get from grinding and increased and added a bonus for quest. Simply so you can follow the games lore, and not bore yourself to death by grinding. Some quests may not be so rewarding, some may. Not to mention the VAST amount of content out there, not all of it is even discovered even after so late in the game. Everquest 2 has a rather mature community as well, so you should enjoy that.

You can get I think all of the expansions for either everquest 1 or everquest 2 for like $40 and game cards I think are $30.

Everquest 1 has roughly 15 expansions I believe and there is another 2 on its way.
Everquest 2 has I believe 3 and another on its way.

no really I tried all the big ones, but its far from the real WoW.

and if you thought the opposing faction's players are assholes wait till you meet the mofo's in a private server. scum I tell ya.

Even with 100 mods its a mess.

The server restarts multiple times a day, the best servers still have huge bugs and the total experience lacks in so many ways from paid WoW.


what p-server you play in? i like mine, you can't judge the private server experience till you played a good majority of them. also i heard that LOTR online was good try that in the trial or something
