Then you obviously never set foot in Hillsbrad Foothills / Arathi Highlands. The massive tug-of-war world PVP between Tarren Mill and The Alliance Town was insanely fun. Additionally there was ALWAYS pvp to be found in STV, or in the STV Arena for the trinket. Not to mention piling up a giant raid to take over a neutral area like Booty Bay or Gadgetzan.

At Vanilla, you NEEDED a ton of zones, as you ran out of quests leveling to 60.

WOW was extremely linear too. After you outleveled 1 zone, you went to another. Most of the zones I absolutely HATED: Felwood, Winterspring, Thunderbluff to name a few.

To be honest, I couldn't even tell you 1 story line from leveling 1-60 in Vanilla WOW. Heck, I couldn't even tell you any story line now in WOW. If anything, WOW should steal SWTOR's idea with class quests. It would be pretty cool (lets say your a warrior) seeing yourself go up the ranks from a recruit warrior all the way to a hero/general of your faction.
You guys misunderstand me. I don't like wow and don't want to ever go back there because they ruined it. What I am saying is that there is little to no choice in your progression if you level alts. There is really only one leveling path. Not talking about the little side things you can do for your companion... I'm talking about core leveling.
Whether or not you think game X did it is irrelavant to whether or not it is a problem here.

So much more freedom. Not unlimited freedom, but more than this game provides. Though "slicing" a computer after killing 30 boars would have blown minds.

I rolled my first guy on a PvP server, so maybe that helped with the lack of BG's at the start. And I completely agree. World PvP diminished after BG's started.

How many of those games did people finish all the content in the first week or two?

IF so many people can clear all the content in less than a month that is saying that it is way to easy or there was not enough content to begin with.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

The mainstream MOORPG got the direction opposed to that, but Ryzom was the best MMORPG I've played.

There I can do things that I've never found again in newer MMORPG.

I'm conviced that it will be back, but it will take some time. There are some promising games out there...

Without a vast array of sandbox elements, at 50 its just wow in space.

Re-roll on the Republic with your family.

.... there's another months worth of new content and story.... and you totally ignore it as an option.

We're a little past a month after release and people expect multi-tiered flashpoints and raids.

End game comes in time.
An enemy on your six should stay on your six, or at least try too.

So its a matter of, "Its a grind but you know at least I can choose where I grind?".

I would take story that I enjoyed playing though twice (Because frankly Imps and Rep have two completely different story lines) then multiple zones that I get absolutely no enjoyment out of.

And while I agree that I would like to be able to level up in different settings, I disagree about a game being worse off for being more linear.
