I'd be interested in trying table-tops, but there are social and scheduling logistics that would be difficult to work around. When I'm 'off duty' I'm home all day with no transportation. When I have transportation, the husband and kids are home so I'm on duty. On WoW, I can be at home with no car and play. I can almost always hit LFG and find people to play with if I need them. If not, I can do solo stuff or battlegrounds. There is a decent variety of activities you can do and you don't have to be social if you don't feel like it.This game is pretty horrible in my opinion, but it obviously has a certain appeal seeing as so many people play it. Envy and greed, maybe? There's obviously no depth to WoW, but that's not what anyone plays it for. I play table-top RPGs, which can be incredibly deep and involving. The gaming medium is imagination, which turns a lot of people off for some reason. I think it makes it all the better.

If you really want to get into it, you can learn all the stats, the lore, etc. If you don't, you can just run around doing quests. That makes it something I can do with my kids. I like it especially well because I don't have a lot of interests in common with one of my sons, but he loves video games and this is one I can enjoy playing with him. I am pretty sure it would be a very cold day before he'd play table-top rpgs. He's a bright boy, but the geek genes somehow missed him.
