Damn, if I only I had the time to play Anarchy Online which is free. I doubt I'll be getting this. I suppose if I paid for it it would be a lot higher on my list of priorities.

I played AO for 3 years until this baby came along. WoW to me really does over shadow any other MMORPG out there right now.

What makes this game so much better than all the other MMOs I've played and got bored of? (UO, AO, FFXI, SWG...)

Just curious, like...

The reason why the Euro release and beta are delayed is the translation of the client to french and german.

The EU Beta Test also tests the game itself: the last patch was launched on the EU servers before the US, allowing the chance to test bugs, and subsequently a hot patch was made to fix problems which cropped up.

It is also used to test the localisation of the game into French and German.

The final beta test is due to start very soon, I can't wait, I'm getting DTs!

Put it this way. I don't think reviewers are lying when they say they've taken all the good elements out of other MMO's and put them in. Then all you need to do is add some Blizzard magic and there you go.

fyi, I've played/tried AO, UO, SWG, AC, EQ, PS and SoR before.

Yes but the point is Gurgeh, that the last patch was launched and tested on the EU beta servers before any others, therefore showing that Blizzard are using the EU servers for testing the game. And I don't see how localisation can be tested on the US servers...

Americans are actually quite nice people, they just have some poor management.

Gradually clawing your way through an online game takes a lot of time, and doesn't pay very well. Why spend hours mining in an newbie ship when just a few dollars will get you the boost you need? I'm a supplier of US and Euro [url=http://www.moggm.com]WOW[/url] gold.we also do the power leveling service. Now,we also provide the gold of matrix online and so on .if you are interested,
