I never saw it crash during massive city raids.The age of the game is irrelevant when talking about the server capacity. It's not like they are using 10 year old servers.
I won't pretend to know how these things work, but I'm going to assume that good servers don't necessarily allow a huge amount of people in one area. It comes down to the actual game, which is pretty old now.
WoW has always crashed when you get a huge amount of people in one area, all the way from Vanilla to modern times.
Slow down like hell sure, but jot crash.
However, I can see where it would. If the game can't handle all the simultaneous requests for effects, player status updates, or input, it might crash with some kind of request overflow.
WoW has almost nothing on the player side. It's hosted nearly entirely on the servers. Players lag for having to render the characters, the servers lag for having x number of players in an area at once. The game is "10 years old" but it's really only just over a year from its last major update to the client.The age of the game is irrelevant when talking about the server capacity. It's not like they are using 10 year old servers.

A fair chunk of the world, but this has unfortunately been going through a decline recently.Who the hell has a data limit in 2013?
Who doesn't?
I compare it to what I know? What type of question is that?The servers for ESO are also quite a bit bigger than for WoW, which means a lot more players. There also doesn't need to be a defined goal for level 50s to gank and grief lower level players (PvP flagging does take care of this though). There were an absurd number of players in Cryodiil, more people assaulting one base than I've seen on one of the full WoW servers in the main city. There were also at least 2 main forces of one army of about the same size. This doesn't even begin to include the other 2 armies.
If these numbers of people were unleashed on other faction territories, they would likely storm a main city and constantly grief lower level players by wrecking their quest progression by killing the NPCs.
Why compare it to WoW? It's nearly a 10 year old game. GW2 has large scale battles with a huge number of players.

There are other ways to deal with it such as PVP flags. WoW does this perfectly. Don't wanna PVP? Don't put on the damn flag or attack another player with his/her flag on.
And in my experience, if the world is big enough, the mobs of players running around ganking is pretty light. Especially if the endgame PVP in Cyrodiil is engaging and you get no points for killing other players outside of Cyrodiil.
Yeah, Wow is about 27.3 GB. And it's got 2001 textures and models.Er...it's like 20GB. Welcome to last-gen gaming?
It's 27.1GB, actually. 27.1GB is a shitload for any game, even 20GB is too much. What the fuck kind of games are you downloading? Even Battlefield 4 isn't that storage hungry and Battlefield is notorious for having the shittiest compression and optimization ratios a game can have.
WoW also has, what, three or four expansions? It has ten times the content any just released MMO is going to have.
Are there any of those that actually work properly? All the ones I've seen, while generously offering means to forego the tedious grinding of vanilla, tend to function very erratically: half-scripted raids, disappearing enemies, randomly falling through the ground upon death etc.That's why I use free servers.So I'm trying World of Warcraft because why not.
Because it's shit. And given your financial woes, you won't be able to pay for a subscription, so there's no point in getting yourself addicted to it.

Not much tbh. You can only do "kill 6 of these for this item" a limited number of ways. The skills are more like Diablo in that you have to pick a limited number.
So, then, is the PC version better than the console versions if you just use a DualShock/360 controller?
And definitely agree with you on the Wii. I played that to death. Just sucks that a bit later on it was hard to find good exclusives. :[
I've bought the game like six fucking times already.
Obviously I'm poking fun (sort of!), but yeah, definitely did not imagine you playing anything that wasn't hardcore Dark Souls difficulty and strategy.
So, I bought this:
It should arrive tomorrow. Feel free to recommend games, I'm already pretty set on getting Kid Icarus and Animal Crossing.
