    Not if it's "realistic". Not enough to hold the average WOW player's attention.

    Dunno...is there a political element in MMORPG's these days?

    Less monster slaying, but being asked by Marc Anthony to go whack some poet and nail his hands to the door of the forum would intrigue me...:lol:

    Fuck WOW, My brother is addicted to that shit. I've watched over his shoulder sometimes as he plays on endlessly into the dawn's early light. The game is pointless and mind numbing. There is nothing to that game.

    Off the top of my Head Eve online has a heavy political slant to it, once you get in to one of the major alliances.

    I love WoW. It kept me and my fiancé close when we were 300 miles apart. It's as addictive as any other game. :shrug:
