Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun, but has problems
I played for about a year, and really enjoyed it most of the time, I can't argue it's not a really fun, in depth game. However, you pay [...] dollars a month, but patches often break the game and/or down the servers. The focus of the game keeps changing, favoring pvp sometimes and pve sometimes. It is designed to be addictive, like a drug it's easily rewarding at first, but later painfully difficult to get rewarded. This can be very dangerous, and you must monitor yourself. After level 70 and some casual raiding, without significant time invested, you may hit a wall and be bored and make little/no progress. The servers are also loaded with bots, paid foreign farmers, racists, homophobes, and general idiots. Like many, many people, I became addicted and ruined my life playing the game, be warned.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Confused.
To the poster that said they have over 100 people on ignore per day. You're just extremely uptight and must be doing something to piss off people in the game. Been playing this game since Beta Day 4 and I think the entire time I've been playing the only people on ignore have been friends and gold farmers.

Don't be misinformed by people claiming that everyone in game is out to get you. In fact, in most cases it's the exact opposite. Sure there's going to be the jerks out there but you'll also come to find some really nice players.

Also, to the person that said they never see anyone except in the big cities, go reroll on a higher population server. How do you expect Blizzard to keep 10 million people all on the same server? It's impossible there is no computer in the world that could handle even 1% of all that would be going on on that server.

It's a great game. People become addicted very easily. Don't fall into the trap, still keep time for real life if you plan on playing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BEST GAME EVER!!!
AWESOME!!! I never thought I would like MMORPGs. I've always played games like Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights, and Diablo, but after the trial, I had to have more!!! I bet right now they have clinics for people with WOW (World of Warcraft) addiction.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Addictive, Fun Online Role-Playing Game
World of Warcraft is an excellent, but not ground-breaking, online fantasy role-playing game with the potential for unlimited fun. The gameplay is typical of the genre: you select a class and race, start at level one, go off on a lot of quests, gain experience and money, complete tougher quests, repeat. Where this game shines, though, is the online experience with other players.

Blizzard has succeeded in creating an online environment with great opportunities for interaction with other players. You can formally team up with other players in groups to complete individual quests, sharing loot and experience, or you can join guilds to have a larger group of friends ready and willing to help you out. Also, as often happens, you can informally help another player out with a battle or quest by simply helping them with a tough fight or casting a helpful spell on them.

So far I've found the other players, by and large, courteous and very helpful. I've had more experienced players spend lots of their time helping me out by showing me new areas or features, and almost all are willing to answer a question or two.

The gameplay is very well-done, with an intuitive but customizable interface. Often the quests aren't overly challenging, especially because of the poor AI of the bad guys, but they're still fun.

Finally, Blizzard has created a huge world in World of Warcraft, and populated it with two factions. Players at higher levels may raid the homelands of the other factions, while players at lower levels experience the thrill and terror of real (not AI) threats bearing down on them. The opportunity to interact with other players, both on friendly and deadly terms, gives this game unlimited potential for exploration and fun. This is a highly-addictive game!




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great graphics
Looks impressive, but we weren't ready for the extensive downloads and pay to play. We gave up when we saw a 12 hour download time, after already spending 3 hours downloading the game and signing up. Only for the strong of heart!
