I don't play, and I never have, and I never will. I have a lot of old friends who have had heavy drug addictions that they were able to kick before some of my current friends were able to stop playing WoW.
Also, I cannot justify to myself (and to my wallet) paying for a video game more than once. Unless it's an expansion pack or something, there is NO reason on the consumer side to pay a periodic fee to play a game. The way I would rather have it? Charge once and go have fun, like just about every other game, OR charge monthly but give copies out for free, which is likely to get Blizzard more money than their current system.
If it really is so addictive, then giving out free copies, then charging after a trial period of, say, a week, would be the same business model that drug dealers use. Know why they use that model? It gets them money.
I don't have anything against people who play WoW. I just can't let myself start.

I don't play WoW, but I'd play The Old Republic when it comes out. Staying on the Blizzard side though, I <3 me some Diablo and can't wait for Diablo III to come out.

After all that, I have to say, I cannot wait for Starcraft 2. :-)
I don't hate Blizzard, just their pricing for WoW.

There's a few communities out there that reverse-engineered WoW's game servers. There's currently like... TrinityCore, MaNGOS, ArcEmu, WCell...

Basically you play the game for free?

Yes, though it can get buggy and it's not exactly like a real server... They do their best though.

I just ran a dungeon my first time as a tank role (heavy armor, lots of health, grabbing the enemy's attention so allies who can't take that many blows don't get beaten) and with Asperger syndrome it is hard!

It just doesn't really interest me.
It's something I also don't want to get into, but a good game story is a good game story. (I mean somebody telling about how they did something in the game, not the actual storyline)
