(1) No, I haven't played wow and neither I plan to. I have read alot of artices/threads about it on various sites and I have seen my friends playing it. Suffice it to say that the whole MMORPG thing and the wow universe just don't appeal to me. But I think regardless of everything else, the real thing is whether you value and enjoy the achievements put in the game. I don't because these achievements seem very artificial to me. If you do enjoy these achievements, by all means, have fun playing it.
