WoW or Neverwinter Nights?

[Fuzzy]

So I've been thinking of going back to World of Warcraft a lot recently but now I see that this is on sale for £8. Never played the original, but am I very big fan of Dungeons and Dragons. After reading that the multiplayer is basically an MMO, would you say it's worth getting it over resubbing to WoW? (Very cautious of the negative reviews)

its a extremely good game but i only play multiplayer

Completely different experiences. There's no way you'd get WoW player numbers onto a NWN server for starters. :)

NWN's included campaigns are in the single-player CRPG vein (though you can play with friends). The expansions especially are quite good. A well-run server with a real human DM is on a whole other level.

NWN's graphics and UI are rather dated. That's being worked on but not ready yet.

It's completely subjective which you prefer. They both involve fantasy creatures, stats, third-person view, and online play, but otherwise don't expect NWN to be WoW.

10 bucks for a classic or monthly sub to WoW, easy decision imo. Why not both.

If you buy this to try to make it into an MMO, I think you will be disappointed. Its a great game, but its not really an MMO and attempts to make it one are a round hole square peg problem. It sorta works, but its nothing like a game that was designed to be an mmo. It predates the entire genre.

Thanks for the responses, I decided to go with Neverwinter and I'm loving it!

Haha I know you got your answer already, but I wanted to chime in with my experience. I resubbed my WoW two days ago, and I've spent probably double the time on NWN in comparison. WoW is not in a great place right now. They both feel pretty dated but at least this has complexity behind it. WoW has become very boring until the end.

WoW has always been boring until the end.

EU Argent Dawn and Goldshire. Find a leather wearing BDSM gnome and tell I sent you.

I tried to play wow again this summer when BfA came out. Its just too grindy and feels kinda bad for a new player. There's just so many content, collections, achievments and stuff like that these days, you will never be able to complete even small part of it without HUGE time investment. And myhic raidind + high level keys also feel way too toxic and time consuming to enjoy this stuff like i did back in my uni days. Maybe im just getting old, lol..

I think WoW is more like a competition than a game.

I quit wow around the time they took demonic sac away. It was once a great game, and may one day be again, but one of the things about an MMO is that you can't really go back and replay the old days like NWN. Its all about the newest stuff.

I take a look at WoW every two or three years, and have to say they do great job in keeping the game alive and improving it. There is no lack of enthusiasm from Blizzard.

It is just that the life can't be the same as when you were young. Everything changes as you age, even WoW. Road trips changes. Sex changes. World changes.
