Default World Of Warcraft

How is it? Has anyone bought it? What is the gameplay like and how much is the longest subscription period. (Longer sub means better value)

I personally was disappointed in it after playing a couple hours... other than the Warcraft theme it just seems like another MMORPG, but that probably just me. Anyhoo im gonna keep on playing and see if it really is a dud (im hoping its not)

heres a pic of me killing one of a million boars wandering about, that guy in the background requested a duel shortly after a pic, i said yes and me mauled me in two hits.. checked what his level was afterward and it was 8 and i was 2 :/ .. should have done my homework

im still probnably not gonna buy it cause I always disliked the idea of a monthly subscription... you shell out $50 for the game and you have to pay $10-$15 a month to continue playing? nah.. I can't wait for Guild Wars.. first MMORPG without a monthly charge, AND its made by ex employees of Blizzard
