It's really amazing how you find WoW players everywhere now days. The game really took MMORPGs out of the realm of geekdom and into the mainstream in a big way. I was formerly a Ultima Online (old-school MMORPG) player, took a few years off from these type of games, then started playing WoW around it's release in late 2004.
Have to say I got a lot of entertainment value out of it in those 2 years. I played the Burning Crusade Beta a little bit and I don't think anyone will be disappointed. It will be good for the hardcore players and the more casual players alike. The only other MMORPG I am looking at is Warhammer Online which is supposed to be coming out sometime this year. Might be an interesting more PvP oriented alternative to WoW. Anyway, for the people here playing Ally on Dragonblight - I have a 60 Human Warrior on that server who is currently guild-less.

/Whisper Serenety of Peacekeepers of Azeroth, or Flintstrike of The Ivory Tower - both are small guilds, and both are part of a small guild alliance that runs Zul Gurub regulary and is planning on MC/Outland soon, and are great people. No auditions or requirements, just be friendly and want to have fun. :) We're mostly older folks and college kids, swearing is kept at a minimum, and we're pretty casual.
Tell 'em Pril sent ya, but don't say where (we keep things fairly politics-free, it rarely comes up)
Yep. It gets mentioned out of the blue on various TV shows as well. Aside from the obvious entire Southpark episode recently devoted to it, I was watching Stargate Atlantis the other day and some uber-geek scientist was "boring" the female expedition leader with WoW conversation :).
Remember back when the Blizzard programmers unwittingly released a plague, which swept through the various capital cities killing people's characters? That was a good example of the complexity and pseudo-realism of this game going beyond what was ever intended or even envisioned by the programmers. Quite a phenomena.
