FF7 was the reason I had a fulfilling childhood. Well that and Warcraft. Warcraft Orcs and Humans. Yes, that game, and 2 are worth going back for. Heck, I used to LAN Warcraft 2 with my third-grade teacher. And just look at FF7 now, an animated DVD-movie released ten, TEN years after the game, along with Dirge of Cerberus, a PS2 sequel, Crisis Core, a PSP prequel and a highly successful manga series to boot. Why the success? Good graphics? Heck no. Good play-style? Horribly of-its-time. It had one of the most epic storylines I've ever seen on-screen, in books, anywhere. And look at WoW, a huge, complex and evolving quality lore, which has been merged to books, manga, comics, what may well be a feature film, a line of RTS games and the most acclaimed MMO to date. I'm hoping it has more than 10 years ahead.

That said, if you want glitz, glamour and great graphics, buy a new game, and don't even touch MMO's, because something will always come out better than what you've already invested in. If you're in it for the story-line experience or the strategic RPG co-operative (or oppositional, PvP has its place) then WoW is awesome.

Sorry for the wall-of-text, but hey, I have nothing but nerdrage for people who whinge about WoW's graphics and mechanics. Want something modern and up-to-date? Fine, take your shallowness elsewhere. Go play CoD4 or whatever those gimmiky X-Box kids are playing these days.
