I personally havn't played World of Warcraft, and I'm not really planning on it either. However, after seeing that Gamespot chose it for game of the year I was pretty shocked, mainly because I was so sure that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was going to win. I've had Final Fantasy XI for a while now and I don't plan on switching, but I was just wondering how they compare to each other and what makes WoW so great.
