What keeps me playing WoW.

I listened to Episode 3 of the Twisted Nether Blogcast this morning which mentioned a post by Big Bear Butt about keeping WoW interesting and whether or not WoW still satisfies your needs in a game.

Theres so much left in WoW for me to do before the expansion comes out and when the expansion comes out there will be tons more to do so I really don't think I'll be losing interest in it anytime soon. WoW does a great job in providing something for everybody. Theres always SOMETHING to do. Something to work on. Badges/Honor/Arena Points for gear, profession leveling, etc.

I really don't like playing on my Night Elf Warrior right now, but thats not because theres nothing to do. If I wanted to I could get online and find an instance group almost instantly. I've got PvPing I can do, daily quests, etc. The problem with her isn't lack of things to do. My tauren warrior pretty much has my undivided WoW attention at the moment. Its just so much fun leveling her and playing with her and doing the horde quests which are still new and somewhat exciting to me because I've only ever done them twice, unlike the alliance quests that I've done a billion times.

I've got my complaints about WoW but its managed to hold my attention longer than any other game has. Blizzard is good about that. Before WoW I really liked WC3 and played it quite a bit. This is my first MMO though. I've tried others but this is the only one that I've actually been able to stick with for more than a day or so. I just love the character and camera controls in WoW and those two things have been pretty blah to me in other MMOs that I've tried. I really like the graphics in WoW too, the graphics are nice. They're not ultra-realistic which is something that I've seen a lot of people complain about recently but I prefer it this way. I don't like playing games that try to be super realistic because they end up looking more "fake" to me. Something about the faces of the characters. Specifically the eyes.

Recently I've been playing Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines when I feel like playing something but not WoW.
