i bought this game cuz it was the only MMO with no fees, and i thought i might somehow be less of a loser if i played a video game with ppl, rather than single player games........

I bought it because I wanted an immersive gaming experience with no fees.

And I played everything from the WPE on, and got super pumped.

Got tired of Ghost Recon, after many years

Played Freelancer, liked it

Found out GW was about 1000% better than Freelancer and bought it.

One major factor being the no fees.

Did a lot of board games and pen/paper games with my kids when they were growing up. Had a great time, when they weren't at each others throats. Now that they are in their thirties (except for necro daughter -- 19), wanted something that we could do together, without everybody having to plunk down a monthly fee.

So, I've got three out of the four, and a couple of grandkids into GW. Works for us, although we seldom all get to play at the same time.

I was reading slashdot and there was a side banner with that pic of Devona for the WPE and it seemed appealing. Saw the download was 64kb for the client and the rest was streamed. Then I read the website and VNBoards and TGH and decided to try it :P
