I think the final "hook" for me was when I saw one of my friends leveling in Stranglethorn Vale. I remember thinking to myself, "This is raddest, most colorful game I've ever seen." Even though I was very familiar with the Warcraft franchise, having played all the games in the series, I was still floored with how beautiful and
epic the
World of Warcraft looked.
I picked up a boxed copy that weekend and it's been a blast ever since. I've even been able to get my mom and, just recently, my grandmother hooked, too. :)
