What I HATE is them 70s that come in to TM just to kill low Lv noobs, they are just Jerks that get there buts handed to them on BG/Arena and come to TM and kill noobs so they dont feel inadequate and make them self feel bettor. >-) I hardly ever played BG and Arena so I'm not big on PvP but I tried playing a Non-PvP server and I was incredibly bored just playing and leveling up, it just all seemed to be for nothing. Now I can't imagine playing WoW with out dewing Quest wale looking over my shoulder for an Alliance. Getting camped definably sucks but I consider it an occupational hazard=P

PKing: very not cool. In any game I play, I want PVP relegated to battlegrounds-style locations or voluntary duels. If I'm harvesting herbs at level 10, and get ganked from behind by a level 70, that is very much not fun. To put it more succinctly:

The fact is that I really enjoy playing Conan. Melee classes are GREAT!! And I really like to decapitate my enemies and bathe in their blood :) In any cases, US and European servers don't mix so ...

Career, college, toddler, wife in law school... et cetra. $15.00 for ten hours of play time? Membership at the range costs signifigantly less, and I don't have to worry about downed servers or hardware upgrades. If MMORPGs didn't have such a monetary and time-sink barrier to casual play, I might try them. That said, I bought Guild War and only logges about twevle hours total.

I am not convinced I will pick it up after I get settled in either. I kind of dig having time to devote to other things.
