Pros: Wonderful graphics, story, constant updates and new features, just plain fun to play. Cons: Mediocre class balance, a few bugs remain after a year of retail... addictive!
I always had a hard time justifying the need to pay fifteen or twenty dollars every month to play a game online. It seemed more logical to me to just purchase a brand new game every month or two, that way I would have a lot more games for the same amount ...
Pros: Great graphics for the genre. Huge world. Huge Variety. Highly addictive. Did I mention Variety? Cons: A little too addictive. Occasionably obtrusive players. Expensive and continued cost.
Strange as it may seem for a hardened gamer such as myself, I never really got into MMPORGs the way many of my friends and associates have. Sure, I wasted far too many hours of my life on one particularly large MUD, but somehow the graphical interface of ...
Pros: Fabulous detail; amazing variety; a new experience each time Cons: The problems of any online community; growing pains and server issues
I'm writing this review from the point of view of someone who has never played an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online roleplaying game) before. I can't compare "World of Warcraft" (for the Mac) to Everquest or tell you how much better or worse it is ...
Pros: Graphical excellence, bottomless variety in character creation, rewarding co-op play, quality audio-effects, never gets stale. Cons: Monthly fee ($15) may turn some players away, addiction level can be bad for employment!
----- A whole new world for the new Millennium ----- I’m already beginning to forget the details, but for quite a few months back in 1999 there was an ongoing doomsday-esque attitude about the assumed year 2000 debacle. Computers the world ...
Pros: -Limitless replay value, excellent graphics, extremely addictive Cons: -15 bucks a month, early server issues
World of What? After selling nearly 400,000 units and already filling 40 servers of massive multiplayer glory in a just a couple weeks, World of Warcraft(WOW from now on because I'm lazy) has created quite a buzz in the gaming community. WOW ...
Writing a review that’s over two-years old and has had the exposure of biblical proportion seems quite daft, don’t you think? To add even more drama to the review is actually who is writing it. I haven’t written a game review in about two-years. I’ll ...
Pros: Fully customizable characters; a huge world to explore; many unique features Cons: I can't think of a con.
Introduction: World of Warcraft is an amazing, must own game. Caution! People should only play it if they have a lot of free time. Instantly almost any player will become addicted to this massively multiplayer online rpg. When ...
Pros: Fun for maybe a month. Cons: Core game mechanics are horrible.
Let me begin by saying I've been playing MMORPGs for a long, long time now. I've played nearly all of them. I know what makes a good MMORPG. My first criticism of this game is that it does not promote socializing very much. Groups are created and ...
Pros: Variety of gameplay, colorful, funny character designs Cons: Monthly subscription, having to buy your new skills rather than automatically learning them
My first adventure into the world of online gaming was through Ultima Online in the summer of 1999. 5 years of that game consuming my soul did a lot to shape my views and perceptions of what an online role playing game should and should NOT be. ...
Pros: Terrific game play, fun quests, great people Cons: Confusing stats, periodic server issues, noobs saying "can someone give me 10s? PLEASE?"

Pros: Very intricate graphics, in-depth quests, skill sets, fast loading Cons: Hard to team, "cat traps", login queues, grinding, LOTS OF RUNNING
Until they offered a free trial I didn't think I would be interested in this game. However, in the few short days of playing I realized what the hype was all about. This is a massive world with tons of characters, monsters and ever changing scenery. ...
Pros: Amazing Visual and Aural Direction, Friendly To Casual Players, Excellent Questing System for lower levels Cons: Childish Community, Incompetent Tech Support, Incompetent Programmers, End Game needs work
World Of Warcraft Update : July 2005 I am changing my review from 5 stars to 1 star. After playing the game for months after this review, it is painfully obvious that Blizzard does not care about it's customers. Much of what I said ...
Pros: Huge, vast worlds. Simple intuitive controls. Fast pacing. And yes, you can solo. Cons: Some boring quests. A few immature players. $15 a month.
I've always wanted to like MMORPG's. I mean, I've been a hardcore PC gamer for some time now, and I love online games, so it would make sence that the combination of the two would be a match made in heaven. Well, so much for wishful thinking. While ...
Pros: Brings Warcraft to life, very easy to learn game Cons: Kids who need a spanking play it.
To start off with, I played Everquest for about 6 years and loved it for most of that time. I had a rocky start with EQ because when I first started playing about 6 months after it was released the game had a pretty difficult learning curve. The quests ...
Pros: Keeps you busy and entertained, amazingly detailed graphics, wonderful music, extensive in-game socializing. Cons: Requires an Internet connection and a monthly subscription fee, susceptible to bugs, can be “addictive.”

Pros: Very complex, seemingly endless entertainment Cons: $15/month subscription fee

Pros: You can use the install disc as a drink coaster. Cons: To call World of Warcraft a "game" is an insult to the term.
DISCLAIMER I took lots of flak (partly justifiably so) from my prior review of World of Warcraft (henceforth referred to as WoW or World of Suckcraft). Yeah, I know I talked about Monster Hunter in the review, yeah, I know I didn't go into great ...
Pros: Fun, easy to learn, doesn't require massive amounts of time to enjoy. Cons: 1-No customer communications. 2-No customer communications. 3-Start again with 1.

After all the years that I thought an massive multiplayer role playing game wasn't for me due to addictiveness and not being able to beat the game, I finally checked out a game by the name of World of Warcraft. If you are any sort of a gamer, you ...
Pros: huge world, great people, intuitive interface Cons: $15.00 per month fee
Have you ever fantasized about being a hero in a fantasy world? Becoming a warrior and slaying evil or maybe even joining it? Well if so then World of Warcraft is the game for you. This game is set in the Lord of the Rings like world of Azeroth with ...
Pros: Easy to play and learn. I would say one of the best communities around. Cons: Leveling is fast might turn off more hardcore mmorpg players.
When I first started up World of Warcraft (WOW) I have to honestly say I was pretty darn excited. I have to admit I am a Blizzard fan boy, but that does not effect what I am about to write here. Besides the opening day jitters that resulted ...
The World of Warcraft is feature rich. From great graphics, to tantilizing sound and on to a large massive world it pulls in some of the best work in MMORPG. For those new to Blizzard, they always revolve or rotate game themes around one central one: ...

First, some context. I am a late-comer to the online RPG (or MMORPG if you prefer) world. I've played RPGs for years: Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Nethack (if you really want to go back) but they were single-player experiences for me. I've ...
Pros: well-rounded, highly addicting, engaging, and fun Cons: Patch days, updating UI mods, install time

Pros: Great graphics, real life feel, constant changes and new features added, fun Cons: Insanely addictive – some will need to really control their game time.
I am not a gamer. This is the first game I have ever played and I am truly addicted. It’s superb. There is so much to do and the graphics are so good that it is really absorbing. It is not possible to play for 30min – I’ll spend an entire evening and not ...
Pros: Beautiful grahpics, low system requirements, great online play. Cons: Becomes boring after awhile, monthly fee is a little high.
World of Warcraft, it seems it has become a big joke. Seems as though if you mention you play World of Warcraft, you are a loser, you have no life, you live with your parents, you have no job, and all those stereotypes. I don't know how this started, ...
Pros: Constant updates, playing with other players, incredible detail. Cons: Addicting and can consume all of your free time if you're not careful
There's a reason why this is the most played MMO RPG of all time. When my wife (yes my wife) convinced me to start playing I was skeptical. I'd play D&D with my older brother a little when I was younger thought that WoW would just be put ...
Pros: Graphics, Entertainning, Stimulating Cons: Cost, time consuming

Pros: * Will consume all available time.
* Graphics are very shiney. Cons: * Will consume all available time.
* Teething problems still being ironed out.

Players can be nice and friendly,
A lot of fun Cons: Time Consuming,
Some players not so nice (Ignore list included),
$15 dollars/month

Pros: Best Game of 2004 Cons: I have no time to play my Halo 2 anymore.
After about 2 years of playing just Warcraft and Diablo from the makers of Blizzard, I am very impressed. Worlds of Warcraft is more then I could ever imagine in a PC Game. It can take a person over 20 minutes just to decide whether they want to ...
Pros: Less bugs, quick and good Customer Service, good quests, excellent graphics Cons: Kids play too, $15 a month, Twinks and non twinks rammed together in battlegrounds.
Of course I do. After getting fed up with another game, Star Wars Galaxies, I was just about ready to forget MMORPG's, writing them off as something that just was not able to work. Thankfully, I was talked into downloading the free trial of World of ...
Pros: Online, Play with thousands of people, friendships, graphics Cons: Monthly fee, addictivness
World of Warcraft I have played many MMORPG games, such as Asheron’s Call, Asheron’s Call 2, Everquest, EverQuest 2, Dark Age of Camelot, Shadowbane, and many others. I have to say, this game is VERY addictive. There are very good graphics, ...
Pros: Landscapes, Artworks, Player depths, Community. Cons: The server downtime, Queues and the need to pay monthly.

Pros: Great graphics, lots of quests, easy to control, 8/10 for solo play. Cons: Spend mucho dollars, still need to group at higher lvls.
Ok, here I am playing another online game, something I started doing 6 years ago when Everquest came out. I played that one for a few years until I totally burnt out by the time it took away from my personal life and the nowhere I was going. Then ...
Pros: Creative, educational, amazing technology Cons: Very addictive, Ongoing usage fee, 100s of hours to reach even a basic level
This game is amazing; I will date myself and admit that all the first games I played were all text and only text! But this is amazing software - incredible graphics, more different situations for you to be in than anything I have ever seen before. I ...
Pros: Great for the initial 100 game hours of play Cons: Lack of upper level content & rewards, server ques, few new content patches.
World of Warcraft Online- don't plan on getting much sleep for the first few weeks. Blizzard has once again come out with a superior product. The game is finished for players that plan on getting to about level 40 out of the maximum 60 levels. ...
Pros: Depth of the game play & low requirements to run the game. Cons: It is so addicted & costs 180 dollars a year to play.
This MMORPG has been on the market for quite a long time & still it continues to attract new players every week. It could be the South Park episode 'Make Love Not Warcraft' or the endless praise that this game receives for it's depth of game play, but ...
Pros: fun, rich in content, stable, high quality game experience Cons: monthly fees, internet connection required
As an avid player of online games, I have tried all, so far World of Warcraft has proven to be the best game out there, following the story of Warcraft III they take us into the world of Azeroth. When you start playing you need to choose a faction: Horde ...
Pros: Promotes short play, good graphics and easy interface. Cons: Promotes allot of solo play, group experience is slow.
This game is a great role play game plenty on interactive play and you can grow solo if you choose. WOW also does not use large amounts of resources and force you to reboot to get them back. It can have some lag spikes but over all it was a smooth ...
Pros: Play online with other people, addicting, greatest game ever Cons: takes a ton of memory, costs a lot of money, long download time
So I got this game World of Warcraft for Christmas. It unfortunately was not compatible with my computer at that time. So I did what any normal person who has ever played this game does, I got a new computer. Blizzard has really outdone themselves ...
Pros: Good graphics, keeps you involved. Cons: Server Issues Crashes, disconnects, server lag, poorest customer service
Since the Day of release , the servers that people play on have experienced horrible lag , noticable in the eveningings when most of your community logs on. Over time blizzard eventually decided it would be a good idea to take servers down every tuesday ...
Pros: Simple to learn and play, early levels are fun enough Cons: No real story, most quests are pointless and repetitive. Only 4 major quest types
I'm one of the few people who think World of Warcraft is an okay game, but just nothing special. I'll just jump right to the meat of the thing since everyone is probably fairly familiar with the game by now. My main beef with WoW? It's just plain ...
Pros: Great storyline, fun quests, always interesting! Cons: Continuous cost to play, long wait time to log in to the server.
I never was able to get into MMORPG's like EverQuest or Final Fantasy Online. But my husband and I decided to try out World of Warcraft. Several friends from work had been talking about it and we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. We bought a ...
Pros: Beautiful Graphics, Profanity Filters, Innovative Death Scenario Cons: Monthly fees, System Requirements, Weekly Downtime

Pros: Interesting, fun and built for any age Cons: Very addictive and complicated
World of warcraft is otherwise known as wow and justifiably so. If you are into on line gaming, this will definitely make you say wow. This game has taken the idea of on line gaming to the next level. I began playing this game about a year ago. In the ...
Pros: Great variety. There's always something to do! Cons: Level 60 is kind of the only way to go.
World of Warcraft is honestly one of the best games I have ever played. It's definately a new and rare breed of role playing games played over the internet (MMORPGS if you like) where you can pretty much enjoy yourself in any fashion you like. You can ...
Pros: Fun, interact with the other wise un-interactable Cons: Needs a good computer, expensive.
If you're an MMORPG fan and either have a great computer or don't mind lag, then you'll love this game. It has a huge amount of players, along with a lot of servers to accommodate them. The game play is somewhat questionable, however i play mainly to ...
Pros: Good graphics, the big collection of items, the vast world Cons: too much server, not enough levels
Okay, there is a true opinion. I am not an addict to World of Warcraft and i don't like any MMORPG. MMORPG are boring and there is too much people who try to "hack" you account. BUT, i do love World of Warcraft! I realy do! Okay, i don't play it every ...
Pros: Massive world and many many quests. Cons: Graphics engine could be a tad better
Bit overpriced fee
Just what exactly is this game that is receiving all this hype and keeping people glued to their computer monitors for hours at a time? That was my question a few months ago. I had never played a "true" mmorpg and spent a decent amount of time playing ...
Pros: Game, like no other. Probably the best game made by mankind. Cons: NOTHING!
The Exciting World of Warcraft! ------------------------------
--
You are probably wondering. What is this game that everyone plays and seem to like soo much? World of Warcraft is a MMORPG (Multiplayer Massive Online Role-playing Game), and about ...
Pros: everything the game is done with such style it puts every other MMO to shame!! Cons: ONLY MAJOR FLAW IS THE PLAYERS!!
World of Warcraft(WOW) is Blizzard Ent. entry in the MMORPG market and like an atomic bomb the industry and the genre have been destroyed and will never be the same. THE BASICS: The Story: "Four years have pasted since the mortal races ...
Pros: Excellent game with frequent updates that keep things interesting. Cons: Monthly subscription is required.
When I first saw World Of Warcraft I though, "I don't' think this is a game I could get into. I'm not that type of gamer." Boy was I wrong! I bought this game because my boyfriend talked me into it, quite honestly. I'm extremely glad he did. This game ...
Pros: Not as addictive as some MMORPG's and easy to level Cons: Graphics aren't as good
Now, if you have had even one conversation about World of Warcraft you know what my title means... WoW is an abbreviation for World of Warcraft and through this review I shall refer to it as such... Now, I will not sit here and explain to you what an ...
Pros: Played in realtime with a vast variety of things to do. Cons: This game is addictive and time consuming.
The World of Warcraft is a fun and addicting online game. People from around the world have discovered the addiction associated with this game. In this game there is a wide variety of tasks and characters with variety of equipment. People that play this ...
Pros: Great Toon Graphics, Great Concept, Lots of Fun Cons: Horrible Servers, Buggy Game, Crashes, Server boots everyone off often
I have been playing WoW for only one month, but in that time most of the negative comments about Blizzard you will read are true. Their servers suck, you pay for them and Blizzard doesn't care. If you have an issue they will be happy to copy and paste ...
Pros: Never ending game, choice of PvP or not Cons: $15 a month
World of Warcraft by Blizzard has to be one of the best online games created. For starters, you can choose the side you want to be of: Alliance or Horde. Both sides have different cities and alliances, so you can attack the enemys' cities. You can ...
Pros: Fun starting out, not knowing what lies ahead. Cons: At level 60 character advancement relies on boring, repetitive tasks.
This game is fun until you reach level 60. At that point the only character advancement possible, is done by acquiring items that improve your characters abilities. The means for acquiring these items (honor, reputation, darkmoon faire, instances) ...
Pros: Perhaps the greatest MMORPG of all time Cons: VERY bad balance amongst classes, this version of the game is dead.
WoW is the proper name for this game, though the world of Azeroth is a highly animated one, in many ways that plays to Blizzards advantage as the small imperfections in anything is easily ignored. I fell in absolute love with this game; I had multiple ...
Pros: Fun Gameplay ;
Easy to Learn ;
Runs on many computers ;
Cons: $15 Monthly Fee ;
Can be VERY addicting to some
What can I say....World of Warcraft(WoW) is one fun game. You can run around slaying monsters for experience points or items. Not into that kind of stuff? Don't worry, you can do much more. You may want to just run around collecting herbs to create ...
Pros: - great community of players
- always someone one
- huge world
- many races/classes Cons: - sometimes has ques to get into servers
- laggy sometimes
I dont know what some people think when they insult this game. I just read a review talking about how horde and alliance are unbalanced, and how palidans have unfair abilities to shamans, and how theres nothing to do at 60. This is all untrue. Palidans ...
Pros: Initially very addictive but wanes and gets boring fast unless you know people in game. Cons: Horrible... absolutely horrible customer service. Buy a different game, imo.
The game is somewhat addictive but gets tiresome after a while. Many servers are conjested resulting in log in wait times. Game play is often laggy, the game entails a LOT of down time especially traveling and quests. Many quests are very redundant. ...
Pros: Excellent gameplay, unbelievable great pvp locks are a bit imba atm 9/10 Cons: very little, some class balance issues, nothing major
First of all, I'd like to steer people away from superdave144's review. I will analyze and provide counter arguments for his review. "Horrible support! I will explain later on. Quite a bit of lag from looting and when traveling in main cities. " ...
Pros: Unique gaming style, Very easy to use, FIRST MONTH FREE, Parental Play-time control via Blizzard.com Cons: Often times this game is too much fun... Slightly addictive.
I have played World of Warcraft for over 1 year now, and I am an avid gamer. I have tried the best and the worst of almost all video games out today. World of Warcraft (WoW) A role playing game that only ends if you want it to. When playing you ...
Pros: Read every review that was marked 5 stars. Cons: The subscription fee of course.
I know many players are turned away by this game for the price. $15 is a load especially when you can’t get to the computer and enjoy the game for a few hours. Me and my friends use a completely legit website that allows you to to fill out surveys and ...
Pros: Massive world, addicting game play, enough quests to make your head spin. Cons: Monthly cost, addicting, and an overwhelming abundance of quests.
Quite possibly my favorite MMO in the world. I picked this up with warnings from my friends not to get addicted and still ended up spending my time playing. This is an easy to get into game, geared at making you want to play.
WoW is getting better... by wowalready ,May 05 '08
Pros: Initially a very great game Cons: New Expansion makes the game better than ever
I had a review on here that bashed WOW - but since the Burning Crusade Expansion I have changed my mind... I thought Blizzard Games was cashing in on the player base but I know understand why the lack of true patch support - they were busy building a GREAT expansion. I was ready to quit WoW but have subscribed a second account instead...
Why World of Warcraft is awesome! by sparkplug39 ,Mar 16 '05
Pros: Graphics rock, game play is awesome, well worth the price Cons: Maintenance every Tuesday, 15 dollar monthly fee
This game is so well done, that it some times makes me want to cry when it goes down for maintenance. The graphics are amazing. You have many choices of your character. The spells are fun; and the best part is, you can turn things into sheep. There are so many bonuses to this being a all on-line game. Things like an Auction House are possible, and teaming up with other players all around the world is much more fun than playing alone. I know what your thinking. It's 15 dollars a month. However, because of the cost, they can keep adding what they call "patches," which go into the game to create different spells, enemies or eliminate lag time. So the game never gets old! They also have "game masters" that can help you out if you get stuck with a common problem. So in my eyes, this game is one of the best. Thanks for reading. Sparkplug39
Pros: Best teamplay game in history. Fun animation and color. Cons: Too addictive, don't play from college
A great multiplayer game that involves some of the best teamwork oriented gameplay in Video game history. Going through instances (dungeons) in the game and fighting bosses for treasure requires everyone to do their job correctly. Some dungeons play with 10, 20 or even 40 people.
Class balancing seems to always be a bit off kilter with the creators at Blizzard always nerfing down one class skill to be in line with others.
Like any MMO the experience soley depends on the social aspect of gameplay. Finding a good group or squad or clan to play with and making friends is key to full enjoyment of the WoW universe.
Do You Want to Become an Addict? by yukiyubi ,Aug 08 '06
Pros: interactive, creative, easy to play, different races and classes, talent trees are customizable, popular, backstory Cons: graphics could improve, patches, lag, server problems, time-eating, PVP is unbalanced
If you're searching for a quick addiction, try World of Warcraft on for size. The game play is fairly simple and easy to grasp, yet the world is so complicated and large. The characters are fairly customizable, each race and class has specific content and complicated talent and ability trees. Guilds are especially effective for connecting players and making the World of Warcraft experience fun and exciting. World of Warcraft also allows many customized UI add-ons available from different sites to make gameplay yet easier. There are many World of Warcraft support and information sites with virtually everything in the World of Warcraft realms covered. With yet more content to come in the near future there seems no end to the amassing World of Warcraft fanatics, which means yet more players to interact with.
Pros: its a black hole for time lol, the people Cons: monthly fee, huge downtimes, no real end game, repetitive etc etc
I have played world of warcraft since it came out till last week when I finally caved and cancelled the account. I agree the game is addictive as previous posters have stated. The cartoon-like world is fun and easy to get lost in. The eight hour maintainance each week is a tad annoying, but for me, the thing I couldn't get over was the "Ok, I'm sixty, now what?". In my oppinion this game while entertaining enough to play for about six months, making new chars, trying new servers, farming till you're rich etc wont keep most players content. If you want to kill a few months go for it.
The best MMORPG in the world today by neckername ,Dec 26 '06
Pros: Biggest MMORPG, fun for everyone, helps immagination for kids, and helps social skills. Cons: bad connection=lag, some profanity by other users, addictive, violent in some ways, $15 monthly fee
World of Warcraft is the best and most know MMORPG today. Sure the patches may be large, but they are worth the wait. The world (in World of Warcraft) is constantly evolving and has millions of players worldwide. The reason why there is a $15 monthly fee is because the servers are monitored 24/7 and kept maintained at a 5 star level. The servers themself are top-notch because each one can hold thousands of players without lagg. The only way there will be lag is with dial-up (only in heavily populated areas) or a lost broadband connection (typically with satellite,DSL , and cellular connections. Overall I give the game 5 stars because you will never get bored. There are always new people, buyable merchandise, and lands to explore. I am a parent and my son plays this game and I have watched. I secretly play when he's at school because it's so fun
Great game, cure for the common MMORPG by cshsia ,Jun 10 '05
Pros: Great design, sweet graphics, stable in game economy and controlled cheating. Cons: Alliance-Horde ratio skewed in many servers.
I played many MMORPGs made by Taiwanese and Korean companies back during my high school days. Thinking back on all the hours spent leveling a character, I swore that I was never to play an MMORPG again. Grinding to increase the variable value on a server? gimme a break!
Then one day my IT director handed me his beta account for World of Warcraft, immediately I was hooked. I'm definitely not a hardcore gamer, although I own many games and all 3 consoles, game time is usually limited to off hours from work. Even as a casual gamer, this game allowed me to keep up with the more serious players. Cheating is successfully controlled by Blizzard, and the game experience flows like nothing I've seen before. You no longer thrive for yet another objective. It is the experience that keeps you going.
So far, Blizzard has been updating at a steady pace, keeping things interesting. It's never too late to get in, if you havn't started playing, get it and join us in Azeroth today~!
Blizzard Keeps the good ones coming by Bopher ,Mar 30 '07
Pros: Excellent Graphics, Easy interface Cons: The whole paying $15 monthly to play
For the longest time I refused to play the game because of the monthly service fee. When I finally broke down and tried it out I loved the game. My friends lists are huge and usually if anyone of my fiends are online they will join me to finish some quests up. The user interface is very easy to use. The ability to only learn 2 skills at a time is a little annoying and sometimes there are lag problems.
WOW - what a waste of money by krnlfrbn ,Mar 04 '06
Pros: None really Cons: Impossible login times, install is way too long
Don't waste you money on this game, unless you like playing at 6:00a.m. So many people are like "buy wow man" - purchased it 48hours ago, got on once long enough to create character (after a 1 hour install on a workhorse pc) and have not been able to get on even a Low population server. Yeh, sure, when I create my character I get priority to Blizzard servers. Then, after I have plunked down my hard earned $50 for the software, I am unable to use it. Whatever Blizzard, at least the two versions of my xbox rock online. WOW=POS
Pros: Highly Addictive, Outstanding Graphics, Lots of Weapons and Classes Cons: Monthly Fees
This game is highly addictive. The developers have worked hard on the models and textures for this game, and you can tell. I like how the game looks a bit more cartoony than real life. There is a huge variety of weapons. You can equip your players with so many accessories. Some accessories are helmets, shoulderpads, chest armor, and leggings. They even have shoes that you can equip. The large amount of customization brings this game to life. It's very fun to play.
The only thing that made me quit playing this game was the monthly fees. I don't like paying $15 a month to play a game. Other than the monthly fees, it's a terrific game.
Pros: easy to play, fun Cons: long load times for servers
I recently got this game. I came over from EQ & EQ2 to check it out as one of my friends was bugging me to try it. I started a character and was very impressed by the vibrant colors and the action systems. I enjoy the questing as you can do most anything in this game solo if you only have an hour, or in a group if you're looking to do bigger things.
I wasnt very impressed with some of the graphics though. The worlds look colorful and good, but not great. With a top of the line video card the graphics still look comparable to the EQ graphics from 2001. The character models are a bit boxy and have little detail. I'm hoping that they will be upgraded as time progresses. Also the server waits and patch downloads take forever.
Pros: Amazing graphics, cool characters, Good storyline, neverending fun, could play all day! Cons: there are no cons, whoever thinks there are is a BAD PERSON!
I myself have played these games with equivilint time spent on each, i have decided that World of warcraft or WOW is THE online game of the year, and i am sure that it is better than any game that is not online as it is full of adventure and FUN!!!
Got hooked.... very immersive game! by steve771 ,Oct 31 '06
Pros: Immersive, addictive, fun, this game really has it all. Cons: Graphics are a little dated.
Never really thought I would get into an online game. I was offered a trial and really got into this one though. While teaming up is encouraged due to the difficult of some quests, you can solo as well for those times you just want to be on your own. The monthly fee isn't bad as far as on line games go (get gamecards on Amazon - it's the cheapest way to go).
Good game gone bad due to awful service by franklin911 ,Jul 26 '05
Pros: Fun game when it's up Cons: Chronic server issues, multiple unfixed game breaking bugs, no customer service. Game is unplayable.
I played WoW for 2 months, and let me say...It's a shame to see a game with so much potential in such utterly incompetent hands. The game itself is pretty good, but Blizzard is inept at customer service. You will experience: Multiple server crashes, random disconnects just before bosses, "known issue" bugs that haven't been fixed since beta (1 yrs), newer bugs that players report and never get fixed, weekly radical balance changes, nonexistant GM support, nonexistant communication between Blizzard and the customers.
Most of the original Blizzard team that brought you Warcraft I-III quit in frustration over the last 2 years because the company has gone down the tubes since Vivendi took over. Play this game to find out why.
Pros: Outstanding, gameplay, quests, graphics, and interface. Cons: After the last update, the game became unplayable due to bugs.
This would be a fantastic game if it would work. It has the potential to be the best online RPG game ever. The quests are numerous and challenging, the gameplay is excellent, and the graphics are fantastic. Unfortunately, the game is hopelessly bugged. After the last update the game locked up and froze regularly. Blizzard tech support doesn't answer emails promptly, and apparently they aren't staffed to fix the problems.
Great game, but too much server downtime by piersonr ,Jan 29 '05
Pros: graphics, gameplay, community Cons: downtime, addictiveness
I've been playing WOW for about a month now, and I've been both impressed and disappointed by the game. The game, in general, is fantastic. The community is good, quests are planned intelligently, and the graphics and interface are great. Perhaps the most impressive element to the game, in fact, are the graphics, which aren't just your standard "create a few images and then keep re-pasting them all over the game." Nearly ever day I play I see new and interesting scenes.
On the other hand, however, the servers are unexpectedly down way too much. You get knocked offline sometimes, and the servers are down much too often (~1/week unscheduled downtime, once per week scheduled maintenance) if the users are paying $15/mo.
Pros: Everything! Cons: I don't like paying $15 a month for it
This game is amazing. At first, I thought that paying monthly for a game is a really bad idea. I decided to check it out, and I couldn't stop playing!!!
There are so many other people to play with and duel with.
The graphics are amazing.
You have a HUGE variety of character choices.
Once you start playing, you will never want to stop!!!
There are absolutely no bad parts of this game. It is very well made.
I don't know what else to say, other than, GO OUT AND BUY THIS GAME NOW!!!
Pros: Battlegrounds PvP system. Cons: WoW gets completely boring after 2 weeks of play.
What happens when you take the same old boring MMO gaming system and pour sugar on it? You get WoW, that's what. It's a huge timesink and currently has zero endgame fun.
They ONLY promising thing about WoW is it's PvP system that's being developed. Personally, I'd rather go play NWN or HL2. They don't take 6 months to create a character that I can PvP with...
Pros: cool weapons armor good pvp set up and plenty of players Cons: takes over your life average 15 dollars a month
A great game for people who are just starting mmorpgs.good graphics guilds and over 4000 quests what could be better best mmorpg i have played.and i have played eq eq2 city of villans-heros lineage1-2 and guild wars
Pros: Large World*** Huge Community*** Great Music and Sound Cons: Fifteen Dollar Monthly Fee***
World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, MMORPG. In this game you create your alter ego, you can choose from many races(such as: human, orc, gnome, night elf, undead, tauren, dwarf, and troll) and classes(such as: paladin, rogue, priest, hunter, warlock, druid, warrior, mage, and shaman). After you select your race and class you emerge in to the wonderful world of Azeroth, a mystical land of endless possibilities. You begin in a starting area where you spend your time learning the aspects of the game. You do a few beginner quests and then continue to the next area where the quests get a little bit tougher. A character can reach a maximum of level sixty, which can take quite a long time to accomplish. There are many great places to explore, such as dungeons and battlegrounds in which you can fight Horde. There are two main factions in World of Warcraft, Horde and Alliance. This is a great game to buy but I must warn, it is highly addictive.
Pros: There's something for everyone. You might be able to get your spouse to play too! Cons: Don't make any plans for the next year or so.
My brother-in-law (who lives with us) got my husband into this game, and I fell in love with it soon after. It's got something for everyone. You can complete quests, kill monsters, make friends, even go shopping for loot other players found at the auction house. My time in the game can flow from, "Just a few minutes more," Into hours. We now have three accounts on as many computers in my house.
Finally, a blizzard game goes online by kevin87 ,Mar 29 '05
Pros: Expect your elven warriors to equip different bows to customize the character. Cons: The flaws, I don't think there are any flaws at the moment.
This is where they separate the men from the boys, Blizzard has finally stood out and created an MMORPG and goes online. People can finally compete individually with their fearsome characters, hoping to prove their powers and abilites, in any of the races. With each races they have their own unique ability(ies), only for serving the cause of their races.
World of Warcraft will take over your world by woolley07 ,Jan 30 '05
Pros: Graphics, MMORPG, Cons: Availability
This game is great for experienced and non-experience RPG gamers. It takes you along a great story line and hooks you up with some of the most intense graphics known. The fact that it is a Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, adds the bonus of working with people. Very awesome, and worth every cent.
Four years have passed since the aftermath of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and a great tension now smolders throughout the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the battle-worn races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and ominous, arise to plague the world once again. World of Warcraft is an online role-playing experience set in the award-winning Warcraft universe. Players assume the roles of Warcraft heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. Being "Massively Multiplayer," World of Warcraft allows thousands of players to interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting against each other in epic battles, players will form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory. A dedicated live team will create a constant stream of new adventures to undertake, lands to explore, and monsters to vanquish. This content ensures that the game will never be the same from month to month, and will continue to offer new challenges and adventures for years to come.
Blizzard Billing Department Hates Its Customers by rodhilton ,Jan 04 '08
Pros: fun game, detailed environment, runs on older hardware Cons: Blizzard doesn't seem to care about their customers
While I found the game quite fun, I've had a hard time with Blizzard's billing department.
I've posted a full account of what happened at http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2008/01/04/blizzard-hates-their-customers/.
Essentially, someone was using my account for nefarious purposes, and when I contacted Blizzard about this, they told me that the problem was with Gmail. It clearly wasn't, and I explained that and asked for a manager, and I was told I could not speak to the manager.
It's been a real pain in the neck, and Blizzard still won't give me any assistance.
