| − | I think WoW has one of the best set of starter areas I have ecereienxpd over several MMOs. I also think it's the most accessible in many ways that don't relate to game design.- everyone has heard of it- if you ask veteran MMO players who prefer other games which MMO game a newbie should start with a high proportion will say WOW as will nearly all veteran WOW players.- high profile TV advertising- it's one of the few games you can play without a credit card. You can still walk into a retail shop and buy a box and buy game cards. I think here in London it's just about the only MMO for which this is true.- peer approval is easily gained. It's very easy to get max level in WoW or get a fully epic geared character and casual or non-players are still impressed with this. By contrast in Eve it's quite hard to do anything that would sound impressive to outsiders like fly a Titan or FC a serious battle.Two things that may impact the newbie hose over the next year or two- a high profile free to play game that doesn't require a credit card. I expect to see cards for microtransaction games in shops soon where you can buy a card for cash that gives you a certain amount of cash shop points.- a high profile, everyone has heard of it, rival with an excellent soloable new player experience. Possibly SWTOR. Admittedly Age of Conan had this but couldn't sustain. I think the target market is school age children but not with a kid's game . Games that mainly appeal to 25+ players don't get the newbie hose (as generally people over 25 will check it out and make their mind up relatively soon after release).
