I played for about 9 months. At first it was incredible -- I played day and night sometimes on weekends and holidays. It was very addictive. I worked my way to the top then started raiding with a guild. All was great, and I made a few friends.

The pros were: the graphics, beauty, creativeness, and fluidity.
*Boss fights have to be carefully orchestrated.
*PvP between equally matched (and closely geared) players is a ton of fun. Especially when you go toe-to-toe with someone playing the same class as you.

A few months later, my best friend I made in the game left because another person in my guild didn't like her and she moved her character to another server. I had other friends in the game, but our play schedules were incompatible. So, I rarely saw them. I continued playing for a few months, but lost all interest in what had become a grind.

I made about 6 characters, and frequented different servers, but with so many people, I rarely played with the same person twice.

The biggest flaw: Essentially, you have a Multiplayer game with no community unless you join a guild and play enough to get on raids. They're very competitive and there's a pecking order. It's a bit like a job at hat level: you have to show up for raids regularly, and establish your worth to get in on popular guild raids. If you have a loser guild, then you lack the fun of playing with friends. So it's an all or nothing thing, usually.

So, with no sense of community, the game's flaws started getting more annoying.
*your combat was just pushing sequences on button at the right time and watching meters refill.
*The skills required to play are very low the more powerful you get, or with certain classes. So, the game gets less interesting. There's a running joke about people "rolling their face across the keyboard and getting a kill."
*Boss fights (while carefully planned) become a boring routine. And if one person messes up in the fight, the entire party can wipe. Meaning a long run back to the body from the closest graveyard.

*You're on a gear treadmill. The best equipment is a grind to get, and some very rare items are like slot machine jackpots, which is frustrating.
*Without the best gear, you're a sitting duck in PVP.

*Too many of the same type of quests: "kill X number of creatures." or "collect X number of this item dropped by dead creatures at random intervals." some are "run here, talk to this person, then run there talk to another person... etc." and some are "escort this NPC along this route." Blizz addressed this by making more types of quests, but also made things easier, not necessarily more interesting.
*When there is an expansion the level cap rises, and all the gear you worked so hard to get becomes worthless.
*Nothing you do can permanently change the world. Kill the boss at the end of a dungeon and he'll be back for you and others to kill later.
*There are a ton of servers, meaning the player base is fractured. So, even if you find a friend that plays, you'll either have to start a new character on the same server as them (or vice versa) or play an expensive transfer fee.
*It's around $80 for 6 months of play at the best rate.

All in all, WoW is the best 3D MMORPG out there. But it can only hold your attention for so long, because while there's a ton of equipment, a vast world and some interesting storylines. It lacks community, permanent one time world altering events players can take place in, and a combat system that consists of just pushing a button and waiting to push the next one -- so no real skill is needed (except PvP with tactically talented players).

If you want to save time and clicking around the open/save dialog boxes, buy this program. Here is why....

I have been using Default Folder X since before the "X" was added (meaning since OS 9 or earlier days). And it is one of the first extensions/utilities that I load on any new systems I get. It has survived many other finder enhancements I've used through the years and I consider it indispensable.

In short, it saves a lot of time by allowing you to navigate the open and save dialogs much quicker than you can do it without Default Folder. Even with no setup the "Recent Folder" menu speeds your navigation. Also, the ability to click on any open folder in the Finder also saves an incredible amount of time.

The integration with the OS is practically seamless, and the stability is amazing. Not once in the past 14 years has it ever crashed or caused a crash with frequent use throughout everyday. In the few cases where the OS was updated and an incompatibility was discovered Default Folder it refuses to load and let's you know why. And then it is usually a simple matter to go to the developer's site an update to the latest version.

Bottom Line: Power users, people who don't like to waste time or those that want an easier way to do things should do themselves a favor and buy this application. You will wonder how you ever lived without it. And I am wondering why Apple hasn't purchased the Application and integrated it into the Finder itself so everyone can enjoy the power of it.

I've tried practically all the library managers for iTunes out there, but this one is unique. It doesn't do anything you couldn't do yourself. However the fact that you simply select a folder, select files you would like to move to it and click "Span..." to execute your choices saves a great deal of time.

As you probably know iTunes is very inflexible as far as being able to split your media collection and put them in more than one huge directory or even move them from one drive to another without breaking all the links. iTunes is also not smart enough to relink files from the same album after you've located the first one. TuneSpan saves you from this grief and trouble. I wish this application existed years ago, as it would have saved me tens of man hours reorganizing my collection.

Add to that, TuneSpan is donation-ware and you've got something truly worthy of your donation. You have nothing to lose, just read the manual to understand what it does before you click "Sapn..." the first time. (But there is a handy undo ability too.)

There is room for improvement though, thus the 4 stars. I sent an email to the developer suggesting features that i'd would like to see this past weekend, but have yet to get a reply. A few are very simple and one is very complicated and might be out of scope of the goal of this program. Considering that this app isn't even at 1.0 status, I think it has a lot of great potential to really allow power users to control their media and organize it they way they want it to.

I really wanted to like Espresso, I did, but I came from Coda, a more fleshed out editor/ftp/csseditor/etc. And while I think Espresso shows promise, I cannot recommend it over Coda because it lacks a few features that Coda has and is also a bit less intuitive to use.

Sure it's pretty, and looks sleek and modern, but without the usability and utility of other apps out there. I can't give more than 3 stars. Now it does have a features that Coda lacks, but they are outweighed by the lack of features compared to others.

To qualify my statements: I used it exclusively for about 3 weeks while updating and developing new features for an established site. I did not buy the license, but that didn't seem to really matter.

The bottom line is that I saved far more time using Coda and actually lost time using Espresso. Even after I was familiar with it I found myself working around some of its conveniences I didn't have the option to change. Thus it wasn't saving me the time. I might try it again when it hits 2.1 or 2.0.1, but for now I'll have to pass.
