I loves me thems Worlds of Warcrafts!
Two things sold me on this game:
1) The fact that you are rewarded for -not- playing the game for 8hours a day, 7 days a week. I like to play 1-4 hours every 2 or 3 days... max. In EQ, I could -never- keep up with all the addicted freaks who would play it like it was a full-time job. Having an experience bonus which increases on the amount of time you take "resting" between play sessions is exactly what MMORPGs needed.
2) Battlegrounds... granted, they aren't implemented yet, and who knows when they will be... but on the bright side, I'll have some destructive forces behind my characters by the time they're ready to roll. The idea of having war/strategy team vs. team battles is amazing... let's hope the execution works out as well as it sounds in theory.
...and I haven't even witnessed a real raid yet.
Oh, I forgot about 3) I'm playing as a freaking cow! It's udderly ridiculous!
