It's OK, i've been known to play "that other game" occasionally too.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
I saw Turbo-Ski once at Wentworth's about a week ago on Virtue. Does that count? 
I just bought the expansion and re-subbed to WoW.
I doubt I'll be staying past the first month. I'd forgotten just how mind-numbing most of that game is, and how difficult it is to find a team to do anything except dungeons.
What gets me most is the lack of options. There's one right way to do everything, and you're punished for straying from that.
I much prefer CoX, which encourages experimentation and faciliatates off-the-wall creative approaches.
A friend of mine and I rolled up a pair of Rogues, and leveled up to where we both had Backstab.
With the way the game manages aggro, we were getting Backstab bonuses on just about every hit besides the 'pull' because we'd position ourselves so that if the mob was facing one of us, the other would be behind it. The mob did nothing but spin in place, and then die. It rocked.

Then again, so is that. It needs to be a villain epic power!
I play on Draenor every once in a while. I'm level 6.
Azeroth isn't much to look at :P

Kael'Thas is where you want to go, woOoOoOoO
I found how the trials limit in-game interaction very frustrating.
No global/broadcast chat.
No Auction house or trading of any kind.
only 20 gold (which is alot in that game at the levels you can play, especially when you have to buy your abilities.)
Cap of level 20 - this is the only one that didn't annoy me.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Well I'll be playing my lvl 60 Night Elf rogue in the Outland on the Whisperwind server. Something that surprised me was the new talents for all the classes. The rogue ones for combat mastery have me drooling. I also figure if I don't spend a dime (except for repairs) I might be able to make the last 150 gold for my epic mount (including the riding training skill). The lack of players is a bit weird coming back from CoH though, which is odd since WoW is the more popular game and I'm on a medium server...I mean there were only 20 people in Ironforge AH and I only saw one other person in Outland and he was AFK.
I'll probably get bored of the new content fast and switch over to playing my lvl 36 tauren warrior after a few days.

This is a trial for an upgrade, there are no restrictions since I already own the original game.

Yep, I just see it as 10 days free. I will buy the expansion eventually but not anytime soon.

I have a character on Argent Dawn. Alas, only a 6 orc from waaay back when.
Nowadays, most of my characters are on Virtue. 
I used to play on Shadow...something or other. My highest character was a level 46-47 dwarf hunter. Then I got tired of riding around on a giant goat and staring at my crappy cardboard cloak.
Goodbye, I guess.

I used to play on Magylos or something like that, and one other server that I totally have forgotten. I think it started with a P - but it wasn't the really popular P server.
It's been a good while since I played honestly ,x.x> but I have some bad memories associated with the game - having nothing to do with the game itself necessarily.
Have fun, but hurry back <x,x>

Haven't been able to get hooked on my 25-er-other Tauren Druid. At this rate, I don't expect to get hooked soon.
My main beef is the ridiculous aggro system. It's so huge that I have to actively maneuver my way between enemies because there's no way I can take more than one. On top of that, if I do get aggroed and need to run, there's not much of a chance of getting out because they get about 5-6 hits in before running back. Then they regen fully when they get back to their spot. Wth is that?
I didn't like WoW too much. Just not my cuppatea. 
And with Turbo-Ski gone, Melanie becomes the #1 female villain of the art forums.

I'm taking my 10 day free trial to the expansion of WoW...hopefully Issue 10 will be out by the time I get back and I most certainly don't plan on staying there after the trial ends. Ya'll won't see me in-game at all for the next 10 days but I'll still continue to post on the forums here until I get back.
...Oh should I take many screenshots of my trip to Outland or just not bother? Also Draenai make me think goat-people, which reminds me of Sayterra...
