WoW is amazing, though I'm not sure how much I'd like start playing it now, assuming all of your friends who play it are already a higher level. It can be frustrating to rely on bad players at low levels as you struggle to reach your friend's level.

That being said, I very much enjoy the game play at level 70, with the arena being much more fun than any other Player vs. Player aspect of any game that I've ever played.

To call it a better version of Runescape could be true, but then again, which MMO isn't? In WoW, there are:

A) MUCH better graphics.
B) A PvP system that doesn't suck.
C) Skill, instead of dumb luck.
D) Quests that actually reward you for doing them.
E) People who can actually form coherent thoughts.
F) Instances and other group-only aspects of the game that encourage teamwork rather than mindless solo-grinding.
G) Diverse gear, instead of having everyone running around in the same highest-end armor
H) Um... buttons instead of just clicking on EVERYTHING?

I could go on, but you get the gist of it. WoW is awesome, I recommend it if you can reach your friends' level without getting bored.
