I remember when WarCraft was announced as an MMO. I really didn't want to pay a monthly fee to play any game and it seemed the gameplay was much less about strategy so I never played it. I played a little bit of WCIII but WCII is where I made my home. I would play the first ten levels over and over again. After level 10 the game took too long and got too complex to be fun.
Star Craft seemed really difficult to me, plus I like the aesthetic of the fantasy world in WC.
