Thread: WoW Flight Paths

What you expect vs. reality in World of Warcraft flight paths:

lol Almost all MMORPG's have the same problem.

Tell me about it, but it would take alot of coding to make a flight path from one place to all the other places available on the map so what they do is have you fly through one long path.

I've read that they do this like theme parks. Theme parks space out major attractions so you have to walk far to get to one another. This makes you tired and also prompts you to buy stuff between attractions. You've bought some crap, gotten tired faster and now leave because all your time was ate up walking.

They have your money at this point, they want you out of the park as soon as possible to quit using resources.

The same is probably true of online rps. The sooner you log off, the sooner you free up more resources.

Well i dont see how mmo's can have resources used up by a user, with a subscription fee they want you to level as fast as possible so you buy the next expansion.

I highly doubt they're trying to get you to stop using their resources. With the addition of the achievements system and the long grinds for reputation, I think they're just trying to take as much of your time to do everything so you don't "beat" the game so fast and leave. Anything to get you to pay another $15 next month.

perhaps it can help me
