Comment: compare to final fantasy XI
FFXI Release date august 2003
WoW release 2004
if you were to take the entire game and turn it into 1 person, wow would be kinda like a mentally handicapped 15 year old with torrets who has a problem with stretching the truth to look better.
i mean this that the community in it"s entirety is made up of little kids who act like ethugs and can"t spell so they use acronyms and 1999 computer ebonics and do nothing but talk about chuck norris in trade channel. that takes care of the 15 year old idiot part, torrets i mean that the game no matter where you are, there"s a glitch somewhere. this game due to the fact that"s it"s ALMOST seamless enviroment (kalmidor, eastern kingdoms, outlands, and instances all have loading screen) and the jump function means so much more maintanence (they have maintanence at least once a week during which you can"t play for 8+ hours) and they refuse to fix enviromental glitches, for example the whole "you hit the lvl 68E mob for 800 damage, at 5%, he runs, you get stuck and he recovers 100% hp and you start over all in a matter of 5 seconds." Blizzard says this is a unique game because of the pvp factor, if u like this game for pvp, you might as well play a FPS (first person shooter) online game. the pvp setup is either A. pick a PVE server, join 1 of the 4 (yes only 4) battlegrounds and play capture the flag (it has nothing to do with how many kills you get) or get an arena team with a bunch of 15 year olds who think they"re the best because they do pvp 24/7 and have gladiotors crap which you can get a full set in about a week if u stick to it, ORRR you can "duel" (lol) people just to have them flag, /forfeit, and force you to flag while they have their friends run up and "gank" you.
or you can pick a PVP server and go out to lvl your 20 toon just to be ganked by a ?? opposite faction and then have them camp your body. other than that pvp and pve are the same.
blizzard also claims to have at least 10time more accounts than they do, that"s because they never delete accounts from the game, so if u deactivate, EVEN if you"re only lvl 20 and decided the game sucks and will never play again, they include you AND your alt toons as seperate accounts because they claim that multiple toons on an account COULD be other players in a household or something. They also include the trial account, which concist of normally like 2,000 RMT a week just to go on and spam their website to sell gold.
now look at ffxi
It"d be like an older, well mannered, proper man who is very calm and surene.
The game itself is older, the graphics are so much clearer and the enviromental graphics are far from the cartoony look of WoW. it"s not solo play like WoW meaning you can"t do much of anything without help from other players, which is a good thing because it causes players to be much more well mannered for the fact that if you"re an asshole or an immature fool you"re more likely to be recognized by someone later and told you"re not welcome because you annoy the hell out of them. the game is much more rewarding because everything is harder to get, even reaching your max lvl of 75 is harder by a LONG shot. there are NO (i mean none) glitches in the game that can benefit people if they know about it, making it an unfair advantage towards players who don"t know the glitch (that"s the opposite definition of wow) in fact there are only 2 enviroment glitches that i know of and i"ve played the game almost 4 years. (i"ve played wow about 1 1/2 years) in that time i"ve gotten 1 class lvl 75, gotten a good end game linkshell (guild) and gotten some decent gear, but i am about 1/500th of what most people would call being almost 100% done. on WoW i"ve gotten 2 lvl 70 toons, 4 maxed crafts not including fishing/1st aid/cooking/riding, etc. as well as 2 twink toons. there"s pretty much nothing else to do unless i want to create 10 more accounts and get every class to 70, which is pretty much just the definition of boredome.
so there you go, and as for the poster:

obviously has never played any other MMO"RPG" games, at least none you pay for.
the graphics are crap, it"s like playing dragon ball z or something.
who cares about music? but while you"re on the subject the music is almost all the same, coulda been recorded all in a day.
pvp system wonderfull? if u like playing pvp and getting killed and then camped all the time because you don"t ask for lvl 70"s to take time out to come PL you (powerleving leads to players who get endgame and have no F"ing clue what they are doing) or if u like joining a pve server so u can run 1 of the 4 BG"s for no reason, the only use of it is so you can get gear that good for pvp (do pvp BG"s so you can get better at them? gee what fun).
talent point tree is nice, but 1/2 of the stuff you can spec is useless and will never be used endgame, there"s no individuality except you can suck, or you can no suck. (meaning the skills you pick should be the same as the majority of players on that class because if u pick something else it"s most likely useless) and you say gear isn"t everything? NEWS FLASH! get a 70 toon and the ONLY (yes only) purpose of playing the game is to get gear. you get 70, you run instances for gear, you get rep for gear, you do pvp for gear, you lvl professions to make gear or make stuff to sell for gold that you use to buy gear, the whole game is about getting better gear. only purpose.
the world is seamless like u say and large, that"s why they get so many glitches that they can"t fix without pretty much redesigning the entire game.
community is fun? sure if u consider having your eyes bleed watching the trade channel of useless jibberish fun, or if u think a bunch of little ethus 15 yr olds running around talking about why they are so much better than everyone else then yeah, it"s definately fun. not exactly my choice of fun but i guess some idiots could get off on that.
yeah too many peices of armor yet at lvl 70 it"s all crap and there"s only 2 sets for every class that if u don"t have them, you"re not worth much. EVERYONE who is considered good at this game wears the exact same thing as the next guy, and if they"re not it"s because that next guy is working at trying to get the gear he is using.
it doesn"t take awhile to lvl.. you could lvl any craft from 1 to 375 a DAY after you hit 70, and hitting 70 you could do in a week, it took me about a month on my first toon to get from 1-60, and that was before 70 was cap and you got less exp gain from mobs and quests. i knew nothing about the game, now i could probably do with the help of a friend probably 1-30 1 day, 30-50 next day, 50-60 next, 60-65 next, 65-68 next, 68-70 next.
dungeons = drama. go run kara with 10 people and watch shit fly when a new member comes for tryouts and gets the first epic drop because the more veteran players have better stuff than them. or watch a novice guild try gruul"s only to wipe about 3 times and then finally get the first 4 mobs down and have the t3 that drops get ninjad cuz the idiots don"t know how to use loot options.
this game sucks

Comment: Ah World of Warcraft.. What to say
Pros:
um.. Lots of players to play with?
Cons:
-Very repetitive
-hackers are unbelievable
-Very boring
-To many kids play
-full of rude ignorant players just out to piss you off.
-Graphics are terrible..
Conclusion:
World of War craft only has the amount of players it does is for the gold farmers. This game is not as popular or as addictive as people make it seem. i have tried many MMO's and world of war craft is near the bottom of the list. if you want a real MMO, try EVE online. thats a MMO that you need a brain to play not just a very fast clicking rate..

Comment: why do people say its so addictive? i cant even get myself to play more than 30 min without screaming at myself,"why am i playing this?" idk, im a huge gamer, especially mmo"s. but this game aint addicting at all... like most people said, there is no challange to this game. sure there r some quests that require a group, but most ppl have there lvl 70 friends to help them get the damn quest done :( again no challange
community aint all that cheerfull any way. i have nvr seen soooo many acronyms in one sentence!!
example:
N E 1, up fer SFX?? bing up ur dps, noobzzz!! teh pwnz te noobzyz!!
like most ppl have said, this game is not pvp based no matter wht blizzard says "HORDE VS. ALLIANCE" whoopdy doo! and not to mention, half of the half of friends i have lost were Alliance and they were ready to kill themselves for somthing that is computer generated and does not exist... any way, if u do get killed by an opposing faction, they just patrol your corpse. so either u get back to ur body and attempt to escaped with minimal health or resurrect and wait for you summoning sickness to go away wich is like 30 min...
graphics are lame. my eyes hurt after 15 min.
all in all, i cant stand my social life anymore cuz all my friends talk about is wow and have already lost half my friends because i im not as addicted as they are, and they are ready to die for the game for wht they believe is the god of humanity.

Comment: its ashame some of these idiots cant recognize a good MMO, poeple hate on this game cause they know its better, every mmo out there compares to this game any time someone plays Wow and then goes to another MMO, they think of "jeez they should have the questing like wow does" most of MMO population is PLAYING WOW here is why
-wonderful graphics that run smooth so when u hit a button to attack it is instanly
-great music that doesnt bother you and sound effects
-pvp system wonderful, either in arenas battle grounds or just while outside leveling
-multiple skills and specs, so gear isnt everything
-large open world with hours of gamplay
-fun community easily become entertained with people
-dozens of armor sets for EVERYLEVEL, so most poeple never look the same
-it might take a while to level but you have so much fun you dont even care, you can enter battlegrounds for every level ranging from 10-19/20-29/30-39/40-49/50-59/60-69/n 70
-cool exciting dungeons, to bad they took away 40 man raids in expansion but its still fun with 10+
the only bad thing about this game is not the $15 a month but the fact you cant stop playing it, 90% of all poeple become addictive
you dont need to spend your life playing it a hour or 2 a day can get you some levels and some gold, just try and get 2 of your friends to play with you and you will have so much fun
But on the other hand this game will not compare to WARHAMKMERONLINE when it comes out in november of 08 if it doesnt get set back this site needs to review it if anyone has the beta,
the WOW killer is coming
check it out Warhammeronline.com

Comment: I like this game. It's fluent, fun and the graphics are decent. Lots of interesting items, places, skills and gear, and I like the mechanics - it's an easy game to work with. I know it has it's flaws, like all games, such as lag and "noobs" (or "idiots" as normal people call them), and a recent increase of gold-sellers and other spam. But I have met some very nice people there, and I've enjoyed myself. I'm glad I signed up for it, so no regrets. I'm not insanely addicted, and am always glad to explore other games if I like the look of them. A fair 8/10 from me. :D

Comment: This is the problem I have with WoW:
the community... or lack there of
I've been reading some of these comments and it's hysterical. "I PWN DA NOOBZ". Never in my life would I want to play a game that consists of that.
But, yet, I have. WoW lacks everything that makes a good MMORPG. Good quests, good storyline, difficulty, FUN.
WoW was made for people that need instant gratification. Those of you that play WoW may argue with this but think, would I wait 20 minutes for a mob respawn like I would have to in Vanguard? It's just the mentality of the game, plain and simple.
So, WoW really is useful for something. It keeps all of these fake gamers out of our good MMORPGS. =)

Comment: I'll be honest, it isn't a bad game when you get into it. But until you get to about level 25 - 30, the repetition of constantly getting killed by NPC's only to have to run back to your lifeless corpse to find that the thing(s) that killed you are still there waiting for you to revive yourself so they can kill you again starts to get on your nerves. Unless you have at least 3 hours spare a day in order to play WOW then it isn't worth the investment. While on the subject of money, it is over-expensive. Blizzard seem to have strived to create an in-depth feel to the game by making a boat take 15+ mins to get to it's destination. The size of the maps are truly vast, this is flawed only by the fact that it can take hours to get across the map for a quest, only to be told you have to go all the way back in orderto continue. All around an ok game to start with, but if you don't go off it at the start, by level 55 the sheer time it takes to level up will almost certainly cononce you to quit (unless you have nothing better to do)
My main problem os the amount it costs, not that I can't afford it, but that what you get outof the game doesn't equal what you get back
WOW = Waste of Wallet

Comment: World of Wasted losers
the game must be review by Quality and Guess what wow is only good when it comes to being able to play +6 hours a day and having absolute patience to wait for 20 mins for a ship to travel
and several hours worth of just walking around huge maps that waste your time
Dont add the waiting for groups for instances or the Huge time waste of doing things several times just to get a item Or the countless hours of grinding
Quests are uninspiring just w/e to get you to the next level.
Wow = unlimited time to waste
The game itself doesnt try to make things even mildly enjoyable..
everything is hyped
Pvp is not a large battlefield ... instead its a controlled little fights that practically cant even compare to decent pvp
The game is not pvp based ..cities and entire map is built to protect opposing factions from each other ..there is no world pvp
World of lostlife pve is quite surprising
Biggest challege you will find is getting the required classes and number of people the rest of the game is a breeze..imagine this you actually have the same difficulty in game as level 1 all the way to 70 nothing changes its always remains the same. nothing is hard only very time consuming ..now its all up to your level of adiction to decide how far you can go in the game because some of it requires +8hrs game play
i dont call that a game ... because there completely no challenge acquiring the best items only requirement is to sell your life
simple example
second best bows in game is the Gladiator bow its a close call even with the best bow..you can acquire this from arena .. imagine this you can actually get this bow by almost losing all your games or just flat out losing - only difficulty just let time pass by probably only little longer then the winning players
And within a short time a immense amount of community has good items because theyr easy to get without a challenge
so this game will do anything to suck your time and make you pay monthly payments
Only problem is 0% challenge - no creativety
lacks any form of skill needed
some classes only press max 2/3 buttons some even get along in life pressing 1

Comment: -Great graphics
-No lag
-Awesome quests
-Addictive
-Fun and flawless
World of Warcraft is an extremely addictive game that is very fun if you like to RP and meet people from across the world. I have only been playing WoW for about a month and I am addicted. The graphics are flawless and Blizzard sparred no detail. There are hundreds of quests each made out for a certain level and class. The races are interesting and each has a past. Blizzard was smart to make three types of Territories, Alliance, Horde and Contested. (Contested being the one where you can kill enemies.) I think the idea of two sides in WoW was genius, (Alliance and Horde) because people on each side dislike the other side and enjoy raiding each other's main Cities which is fun because you can receive honor points. It is perfectly balanced because not one class is stronger than the rest. (Like a Shaman can pwn a Mage while it cannot pwn a Druid.) You get to be in groups and raid Dungeons, level up and just have fun. There is no mistake that WoW is the most popular online RP game. However, I do suggest that if you cannot afford World of Warcraft (20$ a month!) play on a Private server, the best one I know yet is at Wowchamp.Org. If you do not mind lagging once in a while, but you will get used to it, and also you level 40x faster! Also no need to grind!

Comment: This game is a 10 no doubt.
Great Gameplay
Great Graphics
Easy to get into
Many people to play with
This game also allows you to choose the style of gameplay you wish to play, 15+ Class/Spec choices you won't get bored with this game. New expansions /addons come out once or twice a month with improved play. This game is a must have.

Comment: I'd give this a 9 for a few reasons.
Has had its very first expansion that was extremely successful.
The game is based on 3 computer games that won game of the year.
Great pvp combat.
Areas are unique.
Won best mmorpg twice.
Many commercials featuring well known celebs.

Comment: WoW is a good game with alot of quest and big world but i dont think its worth 15 dollars a month with other games like guildwars out there that dont have monthy fee. I found WoW kinda boring because you basicly start a quest travel for 10-15 mins do something then travel all the way back I'll have to say at least 30% of gametime you'll spend traveling around to city and for quest. This game takes along time to get to the fun stuff and i cant say that its worth it once you get there so if you like traveling and paying 15 dollars a month and 180 dollars a year then get this game if not try to find another one

Comment: Been playing WoW for over two years... here are my thought for any new ppls.
Pros:
- Great graphics, worlds rock
- Can go anywhere and explore
- Addictive
Cons:
- Addictive
- Have to spend way too much time (aprox 5 hrs per day) and that is when you reach end game, to be considered serious gamer and raid, grind, etc.
- Even with new way to look for party members to finish elite quest with you, or simply to do instances half the time you will not find anyone to to join, or will have to wait for good hour if you are lucky.
- Have to form groups with other people (it is MMORPG but...) to get any decent gear. Usually these raid groups are only successful if you are part of a guild and you regularly raid with them. Hence - very time consuming.
- Guilds and people suck on 90% of the servers. There is elite bunch of players that don"t help anyone and like to boss people around or just be plain arrogant and greedy, or alternatively you will end up being part of a guild that has no clue how to play the game and you will not be able to do anything together.
- You often end up having to compete with players and gold sellers grinding spots - gets annoying as it takes more time off your hands especially if you are looking to finish a quest.
- There is no real rewards throughout leveling that persist with your character, or that shape your character, so reaching 1-70 can be done in a week of straight grinding as it gives no rewards, especially if you are rolling another character and you"ve seen it all. Questing and grinding becomes very boring.
- Even though there are few classes and races available, everyone has cookie cutter specs and abilities - in other words 90% of characters within same class are specked same way.
- You can make items with your secondary skills that are inferior to anything that you might pickup in a quest or get as a random drop.
- All BEST rewards are somehow linked to doing something in a group, be it a elite group quest or just an instance or a raid... occasional players that have let"s say 3 hours free on weekend to spare will never get to this point as you have to be on all the time, kiss peoples butt and get close to them, get to know them, be there for every guild raid, kiss lots more butt to guild leaders, and eventually you will get that weapon that everyone already has.... great! Hats off to casual players guilds that have accomplished anything.
- You have to wait in ques for PvP instances and still get your butt kicked with random group of people against a pre-made group.
- There is no equality, either you are casual player, or you have no life other than WoW.
- You can customize look of you character, but its hardly noticeable. Every male Tauren looks same, undead females identical, and I can"t even tell a difference between a male of a female gnome in the actual game, especially when they all slap their "same" armor on.
I strongly discourage anyone that is thinking casually playing this game to even try. It is addictive and it will destroy your life if you are weak. It promotes teaming up with other people, and that is about the only way you are going to become a truly good WoW player.
If you have kids, or if you are married, or even have a girlfriend, you can say good bye to them as soon as you reach lvl 30-40... I"m kidding, though you need to be a strong person and balance it with real life.
WoW has it"s appeal, but I think it can be made better for casual players. i.e. single player Arena... multiserver spawning ques for raids/instances just like ques for pvp battlegrounds...
Game is also good if you have big group of RL friends that also like to play this game... then you might be good - schedule as a guys night in.

Comment: the reason why i like this game is because there are two opposing forces fighting against each other...in LOTRO or guild wars there is only the computer to raid against...i only have two high lvls...a level 50 and a lvl 44 or something...ive quit playing this game for long time now and might get back into it. does any1 want to tell me another mmo that is fun and has two opposing forces like alliance and horde.
Also i do not like the $15/month

Comment: honest review of this game
I played this game for a long time ...
both at 60 and 70 the reality of the game and played many of the highest dungeons
Now heres some of the facts about wow
#Games grapics are good
#sound is good
#gameplay is good
# game is addictive and gets boring after awhile
#community is good or bad depending on your server - but sometimes mostly can be arrogant#
#Dont get roped in by the WOW dream its people always claim that at higher levels the game starts reality is that high level is just like the old 5 man instances just with more people ...its really that uncreative
The whole wow game lacks creativety
most of the time you will spend time to level to high level imagining it to be more fun but in reality when you get there most of it is really the same and you have to use tons of time and i mean ALOT of time to get anything done basic stuff takes hours and minimum of 5 hours or 4 is seen as noob or totally undedicated thats how bad this game is ..
# there is no real pvp just few worthless fights for cheap items No city wars etc or anything big
pvp feels controlled.
isnt natural people fight for gear not guild or against factions.. and the gear isnt even useful in most cases..reality is its really uncreative here too.. the pvp fun will last for awhile depending on how much you play but its really doing the same thing over and over again rather then seeming like a pvp or war or a duel
there is tactic's involved but they all involve a pattern against each class that even a baby would figure by itself out..
# you will waste your time for items only for a new expansion to come out every year ..
Expansion was more of the same whatever you experience at 60 you will find in the new expansion at 80 ... no new ideas
But those are basics of the game reality is that ever since the expansion came the game went down the drain...
Every thing is easy ..but time consuming
there is nothing that is valuable in the game or is worth mentioning as fun or challenging
its just time vs time no skill involved
Forexample if a person wants a super armor all he needs to do is lose 10 games in a pvp every week and eventaully he will have the best set items as every pro ... and naturally in the expansion at 70 most people are geared and loaded with gladiator items and dungeon stuff because they removed any challenge from the game
the game is waste of time there is nothing barely fun about it you will work mostly only to get items but reality is there is always a new patch and expansion that cancles all your addictive work... so it never ends ..since your not doing it for fun its a total waste
Well personally i only played it while the fun lasted since i had fun time with some of the community but that only goes so far and most communities are 50/50 here its divided in the world of noob and world of pro and they dont mix .. many i met were simply addicted and were playing it for many reasons besides the game itself
OVERALL :
#Lacks creativity
#GM Are unhelpfull in most cases do not reply with honest answers
# repetitive at higher levels makes you do the same things over and over
# pvp is controlled and seems almost fake ..no big wars or events just few arena and small battlefield but people just do it for items
after doing pvp for awhile it gets repetitive
no creative events
#even the most simplest task may take 4 hours of your life without you knowing it Even traveling may take 20 mins
# items have no true value over time they all get reduce to nothing and many valuable items are easy to get even for beginners without much effort making the game a joke
#Economy is hard for beginners but in reality for those who played for awhile and in the expansion its very easy... Mine + quests + jewelcrafting job done
#no difficulty its all time based so in reality no skill involved Quests are simple uninvolving do not seem to be part of story just feels like a drone ordering you to get your XP or cash
End result you if your oke with wasting time Wow is perfect game for you if you dont mind traveling for very long times or simply wasting hours without even noticing it then this is your game
WOw is fun at times but uncreative
I give it a 3 for its stable servers decent graphics and but then again your paying for most of those 15$ a month

Comment: amazing game, but the producers are greedy so i hate the payments, apart from that, its perfect, except for a few little bits here and there, for example, u cant click on a spot at the ground to move wich is common in many other games, the second is that the hairstyles are REALLY RUBBISH! i couldnt find a single male hairstyle that looked cool!!!

Comment: My opinion of WoW is this, I have played it basically since it came out. It was probably the greatest game I have ever played, hands down. Leveling is boring, obviously, but once you hit 70, the game officially begins. The reason this game is bad is because of this reason: your life = bye bye. I am no loser in real life, I have 538754398573495 friends, but when I played WoW, all I wanted to do was play. Its like a drug, me and my friends called it warcrack because it is so god damn addicting. All I can say is, if you really like getting screamed at and having your friends lose respect for you, then go ahead and play. I just quit two months ago, and let me tell you, my life is awesome now, although yes I do miss it a lot! Don't waste your time unless you have no friends or family who would give a crap anyways.

Comment: Tengu31... I respect your opinion and your reasons for believing that WoW is a bad game, but you aren't entitled to come on and tell everyone that it's a bad game to people who love it. Personally, I think it's an amazing game. The storyline for each individual race starts out usually trying to prove yourself to your peers. Eventually the storylines morph and reshape themselves into a single continued story from the Warcraft series. The gameplay is fun, but gets boring after a while, considering there are no tactics involved, it's just the same strategy every time. It's a bit of a pain when you start off, considering all the fun of the game comes in at the later levels (And this is coming from a level 70 Hunter, I've been through it all). Still, it's an addicting game, and for good reason. Despite what everyone says, WoW is not a girlfriendless-nerd-only game. The $15 a month is a bit pricy, but Blizzard needs to maintain enough realms for the 10 million people online. Overall, I think it's an amazing game, but it has a bit of an aquired taste. If you enjoy fantasy RPG's then I highly recomend this game.

Comment: This game is one of the better ones out there.
It has good graphics, nice game play and a nice story line which is more then I can say for most of the games out there.
Im sorry to say, kids, if your parents don"t let you make payments on the credit card stash your money and buy the game cards. Thats why they were made.
The only reason blizzard is charging you 15$ a month is because of the fact that they have around 12 million people playing the game. Thats a enormous server bandwidth. They may be paying around 10,000$ a month for each server.
I have to say the PvP is better then mosts games simply because all the classes are balanced.
Children if you are looking for a game that isn"t made by Koreans (no offense but they make badgames soldier front,martial heroes,etc..) that is worth spending a cent on this game cracks it up.
This game is the MMO. Period.

Comment: this game is pretty awsome. besides u have to PAY $15 a month. Blizzard are greedy. but besides that, this game rocks. u can get MOUNTS, u ride on horses, hawkstrider, wolves, raptors and ect. and at 70 u can get flying mounts like gryphons. dragons and manymore. well, the pvp kinda sucks but not that much. ppl say its easy gettin to 70. its only easy is u dont have a life and ur addicted. i have a 54 paladin atm. no 70's yet. but the only downfalls on this game is $15 a month and not good pvp. if u dont like this game, i reccomend guildwars. i play guildwars and world of warcraft.

Comment: well in my opinion, this game is allright. but why am i giving it a 2? well, the game picks on newbs such as myself. some of the newb quests mostly require a party to complete (Im talking about lvl 13) and it can be difficult at times whn everyone else wants to be a NOOB and be an asshole. and not to mention my friends who have wasted like 2 years of their live playing this game who have finally convinced me to play this game but their such assholes now because they have no idea that i just started and are whine and bitch to me about being a noob. if the people at blizzard wanted you to play with ur friends (who usually turn out to be lvl 70) then they should make lvling and quests easier besides having to grind ur way up to a lvl to actually be able to do the quest then turns out that it only filled like 1/10 of ur exp bar and u get a shitty prize. so ive been playing for like 6 weeks and have yet to actually have a good experiance with game. newbs cant do crap till their like lvl 50, i mean it, all it is for the first 50 lvls is grind and quest nothig interesting... at all.

Comment: Should be called World of Borecraft. All this game is just one grind after another. You have grind for levels, for rep, and even in PvP. Speaking of PvP, I never heard so many whiners in my life! Those that are not whining are AFK lol. Yea, it now has 10 million subscribers are whatever but its the most unfriendly game I have ever played!

Comment: I feel some of your rattings are unrealistic. so i give it a ten ahh really i give it more around a 9.5. I played the game for a little over two years i believe I quit about 8 months ago. The idea of the game is to get to the maxxed out level get some good gear in noob instances then get into a guild and run the large 40 and 20 mans. If you think leveling is easy well duh it's supposed to be wow does nto really even start intill you hit the max out level then you really start playing. if you have a billion 60's and never git huge end game content then you missed out. the pvp engine in the game is addictive as anything get some friends with you and waste 11 hours pwning face. coming form someone who has scene ever end game instance and beaten almost every boss the whole real joy in this game is end game content. Also if you don't have 10-20 good friends that all chill with each other ti get pretty lame this game is all about socializing. i will for ever love wow and imo it should be looked at as what to do in a mmo.

Comment: Why do i give this game a 0 ? After acheiving the ultimate lvl 70 combo of characters (70war/priest/mage/shaman/paladin) I decided this game might be a bit too easy, and that perhaps i miss Everquest(1) Alot. It had nothing to do with the game play, I was addicted and loved every minute of it, but LETS MOVE ON

I'm glad you think graphics are such a huge redeemer and all, but it's obviously your only leg to stand on in support for this game because the content and story of the game is crap. XConGeo is on the money, though price is not my determinate in games. Anyone else wanna understand my point, read my original comment from 1/19/08!!

Comment: I myself have played this game a quite a while having a Level.60 Fire/Arcane Mage and this game has been amazing. In all my years I have tried out Guild Wars, MapleStory, Runescape and none have matched the potential of the mighty World of Warcraft. Not to mention the Burning Crusades make it even better. But thats your option if you want to get it or not. Either way its still good without the expansion, please people try out the free trail and you will see this game is worth paying without exception. All other games have failed to last me. Trust me I have a Level.103 Crusader on MapleStory and a Lv.97Pure in Runescape I know what I say and therefore this game is worth playing for everyone, though you may not think so I strongly suggest you try it before you take any action against it.

Comment: I have to agree with Tengu31. I've played the game for 3 years, since its release. The game was amazing it was good and all but thing is game started to get lame after a good year. Especially when supposedly i was claimed that i ninja something but whatever. I made a new character got her to 60 in 3 weeks, enchanting 300 and herb in 1 week. The game was great as a rogue and when everyone was 60. Cause everything was a bit balanced. But when the expansion to level 70 was kinda terrible well in my opinion whatever what cool with the new dungeons and all but thing is they made the PVP horrible. When the cloth classes started getting their "Gladiator" and resilience and crap the pvp when down the shitor. And the new 25 man dungeons are horrible. Wasting 4 hours of our life's or even more to take down something that will take like a good month of practice. Mostly every Teen that played this game went from good grade to horrible grades(this was me and some other friends), that we were so fucking into this game we didnt get to play much cause of our grades. But i stopped playing when this school year started and i've came with A's B's in my honor classes in HS. But WARNING this game is horrible in paying it. $15 a month? 43 for 3 months? like $80 for 6 months?.... I suggest you go buy a Xbox 360 cause you can pay for online for $50 a year, or you can buy it from Newegg.com which is $40 bucks plus $3 shipping which is nothing comes total $43 bucks for 1 year and 1+ month free cause of the card if you buy it. I've wasted $505 on this game. I couldve had this money now or even more(since i bought Xbox 360 when it came out)but just saying horrible game to buy. Least you just waste what $55-60 for a copy of a game that will last you for ever and you can play it when ever you want?. But not like WoW, want to play it again pay $15 a month which is not worth it. Well I'm just saying but a Xbox 360(which is the leading console in sells, 17.1 mil players online)than paying $15 a month etc etc.. Like i said before i wasted $505 on this game i could've own my own 360 but wasted on this crappy WoW game. Please do the math. bout $300-350 to get a Xbox 360 or extra $50 or $100 to get a Elite(which i own and had no problems best shit. HDMI settings while playig COD 4 or GoW)and pay $43 for a year of subscription of xbox live and bout $57-60 for a game. its about $500-$550(believe im close, abit tired not trying to think much) you have a 360, online and a game and you can buy another game in like month or 2, 3, etc, which will last forever depends how you take care of your games.
Quit this lame game. Get a Xbox 360 get COD 4 and Xbox Live, pop me a Friend Request name is XconGeo23 and i will play with you.
Main Characters in WoW:
- Elfy (not a main no more)
- Sweetcakes (Straight up main who will pwn you)
Server i was in:
- Hellscream
-Thank you. Hope you listen to me and quit this horrible game. It made my life easier playing on 360 than WoW.

Comment: First off, half of you shouldn"t be posting because you can"t spell your damn words, okay? Get an education or get out! Secondly, I"m not going to sit here and preach some nonsensical trash about how it steals your life, like some soccer-moms and evangelicals are posting, okay? MY MAIN POINT...bad game. THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
#1) Overpopulated by the 12-18 yr old range. Immauture campers and reatard kids run this game, it"s a giant youth-marketing scam...
#2) I understand that the graphics were inspired by the Warcraft saga and that they are supposed to be cartoony, however the fact remains that it"s medieval fantasy with the Final Fantasy syndrome of unproportinal limbs...it"s annoying.
#3) Quests are all the same and all that"s left is raiding! The beginner quests for all the classes amd all the races are the same. Kill 10 monsters here, collect 10 pieces of crap there! The backstories are the only variant. After all that grinding...it"s just raids. Hmmmm...how many castles can you storm, huh?
#4) The only reason for its success is the excessive hype. People were practically going nuts over WoW when the news of its development was released. To me it was similar in reaction to FABLE...we hype the living crap out of it...and let you down, big time!
#5) Ridiculous community. Noob this, lol that.! You know where "noob" came from, idiots? The Unix hackers at MIT, not WoW!! Stop stealing programmer lingo, most of you dont even develop or hack! Then again, what"s expected from a bunch of 12-18 year olds who really just need girlfriends instead of playing WoW!
Waste of money, marketing, programming talent, and time. END OF STORY!!

Comment: in my opinion wow is great game.. it has very little bad things and other mmo's have those same problems too..
this game doesnt have grinding much when compared to other mmo's .
community is overall very nice but if some moron gets on ur head u can ignore him.
all ppl whine if u play wow u get addicted but in my opinion that is bullshit.. if u are easily addicted then dont frgging play and many my friends paly wow too and none of em are addictive.
graphics are cartoonish cause it based on warcraft and wc3 had cartoomish grapgics too, and those graphics fit well too.
monthly fee isnt all that bad thing either.. it keeps most morons out of game and because fee blizz makes new patches almost every month to wow.. so all u who gave this game a 0/10 u propably havent played any mmorpg ever cause every mmo has same problems as wow.. if u like rpg's or mmo's and u arent poor bum who cant afford monthly fee try this out ( and some ppl whined about how bad the free trial is.. most non-free mmo's dont even have trial so be happy that blizzard even gave this opportunity so u dont have to buy the game if u dont like it u little maggots..)

Comment: this game is a carbon copy of dungeons and dragons, only more boring. they draw you in with pictures of high level dudes riding on dragons and such, but wait: you have to click on things for around a month to get there. I bought this game and got bored of it in 2 and a half weeks. At least i didnt have to pay any subscription fees.

Comment: Ok first of "mahoogleman" private servers are not legal servers and like uploading cinema movies they will be taken down one by one in the end = char gone.. private server is ok if you have your own and when you dont have internett up and are bored..
nr 2 saying "fact that the majority of the community consists of pricks" ive been playing the game long time and find the majority of the people playing very nice.. comes down to social skills of each person dont you think? and last.. "This is a fun game but is overshadowed by other games such as LOTRO" 8mill people playing WoW speaks for i self..
by the way "tipbridge" you played 3 years and got yourself 2 70's and several 40ishes if that was so boring how come you played 3 years??? lets face it you got bored in the end (like all games) and was just looking for a new..

Comment: I play this game off and on this is due mostly to the fact that the majority of the community consists of pricks. So i only play when my friends froms chool can play. I definitely would advise against paying for this game. it's nowhere near worth it. Theres hundreds of perfectly functional private servers that offer a variety of play styles, blizzlike being the low rate normal WoW but free, or the instant-70 that focuses mainly on pvp and raiding. Then theres high rate servers that are like normal wow but drop rates are higher and u lvl faster. i know most of you already know this but i thought i'd tell the people who didnt. This is a fun game but is overshadowed by other games such as LOTRO and one of my alltime favorites for its simple, straightforward addictive fun, Ragnarok online. the graphics are ok but this game came out in like 2004 or 2005. they could be at least slightly better with realistic lighting for starters. i wouldnt reccomend paying for this game but if u get a free trial and enjoy itthen blay on a private server like i said. its ok but overall it could improve in so many areas i cant list them all. 5/10.

Comment: Okay, honestly, I've played the game for about 3 years now.. I've got 2 70s and several 40ishes... the game is fun for the first while and when you're noob you don't realize how simple and unexciting the game really is.. The recent patches have pushed the game to the point that if you don't PvP then you don't do well with many other features in the g ame... Sure, the PvP is great, but if you're playing on a high populated realm and old group of realms (Crossrealm PvP), then you're forced to play the same CTF or Domination games just to get the honor points and marks of honor to obtain the gear. After finally obtaining all the gear that is from PvP, you're either pushed into PvE, which is relatively hard to find a good PvE guild, and have to put lots of hours into a slow progression of the same bosses or just clearing the same instance several times, just to get the piece of gear you're banking on. If you don't choose to search for a PvE guild, then you're forced to PvP MORE... Or farm gold... but who enjoys farming gold? Anyways... The game gets old, and all you WoW flamers are gonna jump on me and tell me I haven't played the game enough, but I've got 2 70s and most likely a much larger cumulative level and much more experience then 90% of the people who are responding... In conclusion, I'm going to save some people who are looking for a challenge, some time, and tell you that you WILL get bored of this game... sooner or later, it will happen... I'm currently in the search of a new MMO to play, and FFXI is the one I'm looking deepest into... Bai

ehm.. i use the keyboard all the way with targeting and skills.. whitch make me able to use skills faster then most mouse clickers.. i use the mouse only to turn really fast when in pvp and area of attack spells.. and to the people who feel the monthly fee is a ripoff.. people work behind the scene to make you happy with patches,exp-packs,ingame help and more.. they dont work for free and yes they do try to make a littel extra by paying to change name or change server(sometimes free) but that is opnial.. if you find yourself going around thinking that you are using to mutch money on this game just stop playing it or make a private server or something..

Comment: for all of you that have given this game a low rating think for a min how long have you even played
most of you low raters only 30 mins but if you stayed on longer maybe you might beable to do anything good that 30 mins was for you to get the hang of combat to master this game it would take years and uncompletable from all of the undates most of you have never played warcraft1 or 2 warcraft 3 and wow are 1million times better everything! so have a think and rip in the sky that stuff you said was uncalled for so if you play a week or 2 you might see some more interesting content and all of the battle grounds are awesome the biggest battleground (not inculding the outland) is arltic vally it is the most epic kalmimdor and eastern kingdoms battleground

Comment: World of Warcraft...... I give it a 5, it is an awesome idea with lots to do and to explore, and reasonable graphics. The pvp is quite good if u have decent a computer however it has weakness and people abuse the system just to be the best in the game which really is the aim of every pvp player. However the opinion I have got for playing WoW on an off for 2 years is that the creators Blizzard are the most greedy bunch of so and so's. All they care about is money and how they can slightly adapt the game to increase profits. Blizzard are fully aware that they have made an addictive game and are trying claw every penny they can from every player. Methods such as charging players to change there name of character, moving to other servers and creating a second expansion pack before the last one has been out a year costing the price of a brand new game! (the reasons for paying 15$/£8.99 a week is so that your experience of the game changes so it doesnt get boring. So why do u have to pay for a new game just to alter the world slightly??). People will say that you dont buy the game and can still have the same experience with out buying the expansion pack. This new expansion pack means players are forced to buy it if they want continue the game. With out the expansion pack players are hampered which totally ruins the experience.
Other than the money side of things WoW is also very very repetitive, the quests are all very similar in concept, if you dont have time to play 3 hours a day on WoW you will never get anywhere with the game.
For the amount of money which is required to play World of Warcraft a year you expect much much more! 8.99 a month, 12 months a year, 108£ a year, +expansion pack 30-40£ a year, moving one character to another server a year 14£(which is optional) add them all up that is 150£s a year round about. Think what you could do with that money! you could find a millions things more enjoyable than WoW for much much much less!!!!!

Comment: why so much stupid people??
Hi to all first. I will give it a 10 because there is so much strange guys here which gives a 0. It can't be 0 never. That may say only the real stupid man or someone who (who knows why) hate WOW. (maybe cause never played it). I play RPG games (not only MMO) for years now, and not only hour a day. I play much more. I must say that WOW is really a great game. Only graphics really can be much better. And it is not all about grinding. I almost don't grind at all. It's your choice. But please don't say lineage is better then WOW because it's just not true. Just graphics is better. Nothing else. Comparing to lineage WOW is 10 and lineage is 4. I'm very objective. I understand that some people don't like WOW (tastes are always different) but to say that WOW is crap - very stupid.
Graphics: 5/10 (I already said it is cartoonish)
Sound: 8.5/10 (sound effect are pretty good and music is absolutely fantastic)
Gameplay: 9/10 (you have much skills, both trade and class, bunch of quests, monsters, dungeons, battlegrounds....... so it is not all about grinding at all - if you don't want to kill monsters then play some other type of games not rpg's)
Depth of the game: 9/10 (much other things (beside quests, leveling, trading, crafting, raiding, grinding - which is already very deep) like you can sit and watch sunrise, or you can fish, or terorize opposing faction, you have guilds with their tabards and their ranks......
Community: 9/10 (so far I had nice experience especially with admins)
Be honest when you give your comments and if you don't know what are you talking about better don't talk at all, please.

Comment: One of the best examples of a grinding game ever. GRIND, GRIND, GRIND, LEVEL UP! GRIND, GRIND, GRIND, GRINDING QUEST, LEVEL UP! All the way to level 70! I hated it. They only have 9,000,000 players because the game is addicting. LAME!

Comment: I personally love WoW but yes to a point.
Many people complain about the monthly fee-yes maybe
$15 is too much for your mothers to pay but it ISNT THE ONLY MMO WITH A MONTHLY FEE! Thats why this game is in the MMORPG category because YOU HAVE TO PAY! so dont start complaining about paying for something
8.5 million people dont have a problem with.
Secondly, yes the graphics are quite cartoony even
chunky but there are worse graphics in other mmo"s and these graphics do fit quite well...
And ive read many of these responses and many players say shit like "ive played this for only 30 minutes and its a grind fest"
THE FIRST THIRTY MINUTES ARE DESIGNED TO SHOW YOU THE WAYS OF COMBAT!!!OF COURSE THERE WILL BE KILLING AND MORE KILLING
And the point is youve ONLY played this for 30 minutes-theres much more to discover in the World of Warcraft if your attention span could handle it.
many of you are thinking ive dedicated my life to this-ive played this for a while now and i can still say i havent-i DO have a life so shut up and if you dont like the game dont play it and if you cant afford it then go have a cry and post some other shit about you being jealous- i know there a some cons in WoW but none that havent been in other MMO"s
yeah im an idiot i know but for those who have given fair praise to thise game i with you!

Comment: WoW is an alright game, but it is way too slow for me.
Point and click, and then wathcing is very repitive. You click and bash numbers all day to fight.
And I prefer grinding over questing.
The worst part is that everyone in this game are jerks and no lifers.
The community is very mean from what ive seen.
I never reached passed level 17.
But I know enough and I wouldn"t play this game again.
I"ll be nice and give it a 6/10 jsut because the graphics are cartoonish, and i like that.
But, if you want a better game, get Guild wars or LOTRO.

Comment: You people have very varried perceptions of the game.
I readed a lot of them.I didn"t play wow bot this is my opinion:
-mountly fee:this isn"t the only game whit this,there are more.For me it isn;t mutch 15$ a mounth.BUT if you don;t want to pay just go on free servers.1 player sad that Lineage is better because it has free servers...And many sad about adiction...well that is YOUR choice,if you don"t want you dont play that is easy.but you"; say:i payed money i should pay,then go on a free server:P AND if you need money so badly don;t play this game on official server.this is all what i wanted to say.hope it helps;)i give a 10 because I espected it to be like W3

Comment: kazalor is right. Warcraft1 was going to be a computer version of Warhammer at first. But gameswork-shop turned them down, so blizzard put the game out anyways and called it Warcraft.
Everything blizzard makes is copied from Warhammer or other games.
YES everyone copies everyone, but Blizzard... They bring it to a whole new level.
WoW is a VERY good game. But because they are such Warhammer cop cats, it makes me give them an 8 instead of a 10.

Comment: i personally have played every class to at least lvl 50 so i think im qualified to rate this.
graphics: 9/10 cartoony sure but still solid and well made and they are only cartoony to go with
warcraft III
sound: 10/10 epic, the music just gives an epic feel to the game and when you hit a wolf it squeels like a wolf and hit a bear it growls realistically
gameplay: 10/10 in depth and simply amazing, it starts out simple and easy but by level 20 you have plenty of skills and are using strategy and dungeon running, the crafting system is great with each gathering skill being unique and each rafting skill giving different benifits, for example blacksmiths can make they're own weapons and armor if they are a warrior or paladin however if you are a druid or rogue you might wnat to be a leather worker to make your armor, enchanters enchants wapons and armor to give special benefits and can make weapons look totally awesome, but engineers make gadgets and trinkets that allow them to do some amazing things that they/re class might not be able to do for example you can make a cloaking device to stealth like a rogue or goblin jumper cables to rez like a priest or an exploding sheep... moving on
lagg/stability :10/10 virtually no lagg and servers only go down for a few minutes to repair only about once every 2 months
character customization:9/10 good intitial customization an then i game theres so many aror sets and things to customize your look the possibilities are almost endless
community: 9/10 sure there are some jerks and a few gold spammers but over 8 million players to play with and a good guild/party/raiding systems its just awesome
over all i give this 9.4 exploding sheep out of 10
but a 10/10to compensate all the bad reviews form kids who are just jealous because there moms wont let them play it

Comment: Large, entertaining and colorful. It's a lot like many other big MMOs, but despite its monthly fee, there seems to be a large amount of children under the age of 12 in this. More specifically on the Ally side. I played this game for quite awhile after previously flaming it for their comparison to EQ2 (still isn't anything compared to EQ2). I'd recomend this game to anyone because it's easier to get into than some MMOs. This deserves a 9.

Comment: to me this is just a cheesy rip off of FFXI , which is much more origonal and more realistic graphics, and they offer a trial? that trial is gey, you are SOOOO restricted on that trial because they dont want people to abuse it, they might as well not even make a trial for it anymore..... w/e sure sure its fun but theres better... u can level up while eating with two hands though, so thats why i give this game 0 / 10

Comment: This game is fun Too fun for some not enough for others. Since im a blood elf warlock(demonology) i would rather rate burning crusade higher but this game has the majority of the content. I only play bout an hour a day and 2.5 on weekends, it is addicting i admit, but not to a point where i would waste my life on it. The only drawback i see is the 15 bucks a month, dont even try this if ur an immature loser.

Comment: Let me begin with this... Those losers out there who rated this game after 30 minutes of game time, you really should shut up. Now, onto the rating.
Graphics: 8/10; The graphics are very nice, but somewhat on the cartoonish side. You can sort of tell its cartoonish when you look at the trees or the buildings, yet I like it that way because thats how Warcraft III was and i think the cartoonish graphics compliment it.
Sounds/Music: 9.5/10; When you hit a bear, it growls in rage with realistic sounds. When you throw a fireball at an enemy, it sounds like a whirling ball of fire! There is no doubt in mind that the sound is great. The music is also incredible, a little medeival, but isnt the game medeival?
Community: 8/10; I have to admit, there are some fat heads out there who like to pick on others, but other than that, there are many higher levels willing to help lower levels. The auction house (AH) is one of the most popular things in this game. Throw your item u want to sell in there and wait over night. Go and explore and do quests while waiting for it to sell. Or you could buy an item from the AH someone else put in there. a great place the AH is.
I will explain gameplay in another review. (out of space :P)

Comment: Ok, good game at first view. Graphics are pretty good and nice playing. After some days of not much variety in things I did I started getting driven away from WoW. By the time my trial had ended, I was totally sick of playing WoW due to the HORRIBLE community. Pretty good gameplay but too young of a community and too many idiots.

Comment: Ok, some of you people piss me off. 1st, Ucan'ttouchthis there is a whole bible on the history of the game. 2nd You can't play a game for 30 minutes and say it sucks, thats like some one walking into to a movie watch the opening credits and start complaining about it. 3rd it ain't only grinding there are quests, instances, BGs, and Raids. And with in those there are Heroic Dungeons and group quests.
My life isn't WoW so i play like 3-4 hours on the weekend, but that isn't too bad. Anyone could have told you this if you did a little more investgating.

Comment: I"m glad I only played this game for 30 minutes, when I played it I was very disappointed, the graphic looks kind of stupid but most of all the game-play is plain grinding. I don"t need to play WOW for 10 hours to write this review, it"s so predictable as to how this game would turn out. I heard people live their life for this Game, and once they play it for a few days they"re addictive. I"m just glad I didn"t get sucked in.

Comment: This game is only grinding, there is no story to it the graphics look like they've been drawn by little kids and if i wanted a game like that i definatly wouldnt pay for it this game isn't worth paying for it should be made free-to-play completely, it's absoloutly terrible. I'd rather go out and buy a hooker every month than pay for this junk! World of Warcraft has to be the most awful pay-to-play ever, sure the PvP may be good but you have to grind and pay the stupid monthly fee thats far from worth paying for and the graphics, can't you people see the people who made the game let little children draw almost everything? 0 out of 10 this is the most awful pay-to-play ever, i recall hearing somone died playing this once they got too addicted and didn't sleep for days i don't know how that can happen the game is terrible i couldn't play it for more than a hour till i thought Ew what the fuck am i playing?

Comment: This is game is the greatest and most addictive mmorpg game. The addiction can be good or bad on your opinion. This game has a large map a good rvr and pvp system. Noobs should stop rating this game so low because of the $15 a month fee. Also Avion, u can't just play the game one time and say it's only grinding, there is MUCH more to the game.

I went to my friend's house to play and I was excited because everybody says thay WoW is an awesome game but when I went to his houe I was really disappointed about the game and so I rate this a 4.

Comment: For those who have plenty of time in the month to play 15 dollars worth of games... this is the game for you. The list doesnt end to what you can do. Fully customize your personal character with weapons, special skills, proffesions, look, mounts, talents, armor... ect. There is plenty of areas, monsters, and quests to keep you wanting more. WoW is more like a drug to me. The moment I took my first step in a PvP battleground, my heart began to pump. Not only do you fight for power, but for honor and marks which can buy you special weapons, items, mounts, and armor. if PvP is your strength, you will certainly be challenged in these battlegrounds. Battlegrounds are seperated by level so you wont be a level 29 fighting a level 70. Yes, it does take time to level, but that just makes it so that each time you level, it is celebrated. new skills, and abilities are unlocked everytime you see your character ding. Rise of the Liche is coming out to further expand the WoW. destructable buildings, the deathknight, new lvl cap... get in on the action.

Comment: Bad game
Bad Graphics
Bad sound
This game is crap compared to lineage 2
just experiment its the best MMORPG ever and has free servers too that are stable and if you want fast xp just go to highrate servers
The story line its great and graphics are just beautiful not to mention sound.
Each half an year comes out another update with new skills new places to explore and sometimes new races with new jobs
Best PvP and mass PvP with castle sieges, in arenas and olympiads to know who is the best gammer and become hero
Just try it

Comment: This is just for the people who say it is "extremely hard" to level, do you think that Blizzard is going to make it that you can get really powerful really quick? The answer is obviously no, and yes i do know that it is to keep people hooked and to keep them playing, but isn't that the point of all Pay Online Games?
The quests may be repetitive at the start, e.g. Kill 10 *monsters name here* or what ever, but as you level up and become a higher level the quests expand, although based on the same idea sometimes they still are very different when you think about them.
The graphics are amazing for a games and are a lot better then other online games that I have played, I'd give that a nice 9/10.
PvP is rather impressive I think, there are different sorts of battlegrounds which become available at higher levels such include Capture the Flag and Control the Nodes to increase your score (the more nodes you control, the faster your score goes up). Once you hit the level cap you can form a arena group with other level 70's, and fight against other group that have been formed and the outcome gets recorded. Overall 8/10 for the PvP.
WoW also has a good community MOST people are very helpful (most doesn't mean all)and if you find a good guild they will help you out and sometimes some of the high levels will run you through instances (dungeons) so you can get some neat armor and weopens.
Also, don't rate the game low just because you can't afford it, or you don't think you should pay for it, because I don't think that is very fair to rate a game low just because you can't afford to pay for it.
It's the most popular MMORPG around and I think that stands for something!

Comment: Fantastic game, no questions. However, no matter how good a game is, it will sooner or later wear thin if you a donig the same thing start to finish. The game takes too long to get from 1 - 70, Plus the best items you need to get a group for, which could leave you hanging around for ages. The PvP is somewhat underrated, this game does have fantastic PvP, however, every month another class is overpowered because of someones bi*ching, there no stopping the class updates, and nerfing of classes. This game has some of the bets features an MMORPG can possible give, such as the Auction House, and World Bosses, like dragons that roam in certain areas, those moments in this game can take your breath away.
To my reveiw, this game gets a 8/10, but it really loses points on this next one, Blizzard are selling it out. All the great build ups in Warcraft III are pebbles on the road for WoW. Blizzard are destorying something great with all the new instance bosses etc, thus it gets seriously down marked

Comment: As far as i"m concerned, this is not a very fun game. It gets really drawn out and old doing the same thing over and over, leveling up doesn"t get harder or easier, from lvl 1 to 70, it does take longer of course, people are not friendly, people are very scarce (never see many people on from server to server, including high popularity servers) people who run it are useless, and they have very bad netiquette and useless ideas that at best entertain the people who play by introducing something new (AT BEST!)
In my opinion from playing WoW for a little over a year, and FFXI (Final Fantasy XI) for 4 years, This game is nothing compared to FFXI.
The people playing from server to server are usually stuck up jerks, or immature schoolkids. MORE often than not during a group to do something with somone not in your guild, they would often just randomly leave, or say their mom is kicking them off.. I have never seen this happen on FFXI
The game itself is very overrated, i"m going to categorize why this game is nothing compared to ffxi:
1. WoW graphics are awful to say the least, it"s really cartoony, unlifelike, the environments look nothing like real life
2. The game has more glitches than a 40 year old man with torrets in a womens locker room. I mean, WAY too many, people with pets or minions you"ll often notice your pet just randomly stops doing something or gets stuck in the terrain ALL THE TIME! Fighting mobs that "run away" in fear is just ridiculous, i can"t even count how many times i"ve been fighting something and had it almost dead and it starts running, i catch it but it says "Evade" then stops fighting me and regenerates all of it"s health in 1 second then continues to kill me. there are many more glitches i can think of, especially since the allowed "Jumping" using the spacebar you can find exploits in areas INCLUDING battlegrounds making a complete unfair advantage against others.. Oh i said i wasn"t gonna get into the rest of the glitches.
3. Anyways, the GM help on the game is completey useless, GM"s hardly help you with your problem, or they send u an automated message saying "thank you, we will look into this" like... MY MESSAGE SAID: "I just got scammed by *username* help me out" I also once called a GM about an issue in a BG where an alliance character was cheating, while i was on horde side, They told me they"d look into it and demanded i log out immediately because my name violated the user agreement... it was friggen Elniño, not that my name had anything to do with an alliance capturing a flag while he was untargetable. VERY bad support.
4. The game has the whole solo play and only 1 job per character which makes it very boring, if u want to play another job cuz tanking or healing is boring you have to creat a new character, THEN send stuff back and forth to get them ready and all that stuff. It"s just a pain.
5. They use an interface that allows you to talk to EVERYONE at once in an entire area, including annoying the hell out of people, the solo play i think REALLY effects peoples attitudes badly, i can"t think of a time i"ve walked into a city and seen somone innocently trying to peddle their items in trade and there"s always somone there to bash them and warning people that the item sucks, don"t buy it, they"re a noob, etc. etc. NEVER in ffxi would somone do this, if they did they would have people saying "O.o" and commencing to blacklist them for being jerks.
6. The updates, They update / patch / fix / destroy this game once a friggen weak, the updates take forever to download, their "fixes" never fix anything, and they add the dumbest things with the patches. For example they introduced a feature that made delivery of items and gold to another character on your account instant, it used to take an hour. 3 MONTHS LATER: they add a feature that makes it so it takes an hour to recieve money from things you sold on the ah... WHY? they have no reasoning. the people running this game are just.. dumb!
7. The AH. This little gem is completely useless. An AH where you cannot veiw items that have already been sold, so you get this peice of equipment that EVERYONE knows for some reason that it sells for *,***g and you put it up for **g. HMM. the bidding system, so it"s 2:00AM you have work in the morning, this other kid in PDT has school in the morning, but isn"t sleeping even tho his Mommy is gonna get upset with him, is sitting here watching an item that"s on bid only, waiting for it to end, you see 2-8 hours, you go to bed, he sits up eagerly waiting and outbids you at the last minute. that"s devotion, but entirely unfair.
8. "CHEATING" i don"t care what you call it, blizzard allows it. "Mods" or "Addons" aka Programs that players use which gives them an unfair advantage over other players. Blizzard made sure to set aside a seprate folder called "Addons" but they don"t supply any of these addons, only players who make them or download them from other people who made them can use them. right.
Anyways i could go on and on but this list is getting very long, in all fact, FFXI has none of these listed cons, and to think that you can say WoW is the top rated MMORPG is just stupid. If you like playing a game that is insanely easy to get to the top, but so annoying that you want to ignore everyone else who plays it, this games for you.
I played WoW for 4 months before i got to lvl 60, then TBC came out i quit, came back, no longer had my lvl 60 warlock but started back from scratch. it took me 3 months to get to 70 with 375 BS 375 Mining, 375 First Aid, 220 cooking, and 250 fishing.
I played FFXI for 4 years it took me 2 years to get 1 job to 75 (max lvl) with 28 fishing... but i had known more people on the game, been known by more people, and played alongside more people than people i even SAW on WoW.
Sorry to you WoW fans but it just totally fails.
The fact that 1 website can take the word of what? 1/100,000,000th of the people who play the 2 games, and come up with a statistic is meaningless to me. and i believe that anyone who reads what i"m writing right now about the games is either 12-15 or agreeing with me.

Comment: Simply put this is THE best MMORPG around for a number of reasons: mainly the size of the world, the depth of the story, and the sheer mind-boggling amount of players in there!
The graphics are good (though some don't seem to like them) and the design of the dungeons and the various zones is second to none.
The only bad points are that it's not free. $15 a month (less if you pay for a bunch of months in advance) isn't really too much for the entertainment you get :-)
And WoW Addiction is very, very real. Don't think it's losers and nerds only... you can easily waste a great deal of time in this game. Whether or not that's good or bad is up to you.
This is a massive, massive game. You can join a player created guild, take part in battlegrounds, arenas and even wars, play in a Player vs Player realm, or simply quest or grind for experience. This is very open ended.
Which takes to my final point. There's NO end or goal to this game. Eventually, you'll hit the point where the quests get boring (they're all collect x amount of items, kill x amount of monsters, talk to a certain Npc or "escort" an Npc type). You will have explored every realm. You might have been to every dungeon. And you will have hit the current level cap of 70.
After that the only thing to do is upgrade your equipment. End-game, that's all it is. You either play to:
(a) Build reputation with various factions, which unlocks certain items, weapons and armour.
(b) Build your levels in your "professions", which allow you to create items.
(c) "Grind" (repetively kill monsters) to earn Gold to , yep, buy items.
(d) Play Areans and Battlegrounds to build a score to - you guessed it - get more items...
In fact, without a goal in sight it's pretty aimless. There's plenty of short term goals, but no real end to the game. NO paid for MMORPG has a goal as such, since understandably the companies don't want to you finish :-)
That's the big fault in this game. To get a good battleground level you have to play a stupid amount of hours per day. To be in a top guild that raids regularly you have to be ready to be there when they want you and forget about your real life. The end game does NOT reward casual gamers, and it doesn't provide satisfaction at all.
My advice is to play the game - you have to, it's a real cultural phenomenom and there's unlikely to be a pretender to it's throne. But play until you've had your fill (hit lvl 70, been to the whole world) the quit.
A game is supposed to be fun. This is - for a while. Once it becomes a chore or a job, give it up.
9/10 but please, please don't let it take your life over :-D

Comment: World Of Warcraft.. where to start?
I made an account on my friends account one day. I played for an hour and thought it was pathetic. Even worse than AQ. Heres why.
The quests are ALL the SAME. Kill this many of this monster and bring me back this many of this. I did like 10 quests of the kill and bring concept. I wanted to be a human hunter on the Alliance. But there wasnt hunter available for the human. WHY? I had to settle for a stupid looking blood elf hunter. I trained for 1 hour and was only lvl 5. Whats up with that? Plus there is a $15 monthly fee, and its such a bad game. They make millions of dollars a month off this game. Just think about it. On the box it says over 6 million online. 6 million times $15 a month. That adds up to 90 million dollars a month. So many people addicted to it who have no life..Like my best friend thank you very much WoW. Ermm wow im just ranting. If ur gonna play an MMORPG play RS or MS and save ur self some money. Sorry for my ranting but it really is that bad...

Comment: This game is great! i have a 70 its so fun! you haters and havent played World of Warcraft should try and go to that site :D its really a fun game! the PvP and PvE are good and also u can reacg maxed level 70 in about 3 months by just playing 6-8 hours a day! once u hit some where 30-40 its going to be fun cuz theres dungeons which u need to party up with not like in guild wars u gotta be a loner in one place -.- kinda stupid community will be so stupid! and in guild wars u can only see all the online people in main cities and such towns. i prefer to pay $15 to play and have fun in World of warcraft! its really fun once u get hang of the game and stuff. if im bored and just really got bored in the game i just play Ragnarok which is another cool game or just watch WoW videos and such. other than that this game deserves 10! you haters are just stupid! u guys dont even need to rate or comment to this game if u dont like it stupid! AND also theres something called raids which u have to have 10-40 party members which is really fun! in the game u can raid anything! in my server we raided one of the main cities! it was really fun.

Comment: Let me tell you, this is one of the most stunning, fun, addicting, hugest games I have ever played. BUT the addicting factor is not so good. I think a game should be moderately addicting. But WoW is like the METH of games. Many people get engrossed in the massive artificial world and lose track of their own lives. People rip on the monthly price, but that is not as bad as the effect it has on us. How do I know what they go through? I was addicted for 1 year. 1 year is not that much, but it could have been longer if I didn't have the willpower to quit. There is somewhere you can check your overall time played in WoW. Not how long you've had your account. Think about this. Two months. Think how much you can do in two months, and how easily it can all be thrown away by a game. I'm not here to say the game is crap, it isn't, but I'm telling you, PLEASE don't play this game. Listen to me! Don't throw your life away to a world that has no correspondence to reality. You may join it to have fun, but it can ruin you. You feel victorious when you complete a quest, which I think is wrong, because that victory has no value in reality. I hope this review is placed as close to the top as possible, because it is important.
-Yours truly,
Canadian_eh

Comment: pretty cool game. not nessesarily my favorite, since i dont like the point and click system thing. there is a lot to do, and alot of quests that make lvling less of a complete grind. for me, there almost seemed too much to do, too much to commit to the game before it really got fun or otherwise. the community was relatively nice, since i was playing on a pay server and no one wants to lose money from getting banned. if you're really into games i think you should like it but for a casual gamer like me, it was just alot to pick up, alot of skills and such. i didnt like the controls either, it was a bit awkward, wasnt as smooth as i would like. the world is absolutely huge and theres alot to do, personnally i was rather content as a lvl 10 gnome rouge engineer, making explosives, but whatever.

Comment: I am sick of all you people giving this game a low score because of the monthly fees.
First of all there are many many free servers out there where you don"t have to pay a monthly fee hence the word Free
Also if you don"t feel like paying $20 to buy the game and/or expansion you could always download a torrent for both of them. There you go this just became a Free MMORPG.
I used to play on blizzard servers for about 5 months and the only real advantages is the community is larger and you get updates faster, other then that it"s the same as the free servers.
The Graphics 9/10 ; are good enough to satisfy many peoples tastes and also make it available to run on many older systems with outdated hardware
The Gameplay 7/10 ; is not the best but considering this is now a "free" mmorpg you cant go wrong
There are pros and cons to both types of servers Free and paid.
PAID.
Pros
- updates are faster
- Larger community
Cons
- too many 12 year olds with attitudes
- The feeling of obligation to get your moneys worth
FREE
Pros
- not as many 12 yearolds
- Can whisper members of the other faction
- More GMs (some servers have less )
- ITS FREE!
- Constant Uptime
Cons
- updates may come a few days/weeks later
- has a smaller player cap
- can be laggy at times

Comment: There are many, many different opinions from what I've read. Probably about 75% of the people downvoting it have never even played this game before.
I see these people commenting "I have a six pack you guys are all lazy nerds go get some nice clothes and a girlfriend, get in shape blah blah blah." Since WHEN was the goal of life was to look like everyone else/nice/ to have a girlfriend/ to get in shape? That never was the point of life. There was no point in life.
People have the right to CHOOSE what they can do in life and nobody can say otherwise. People can do whatever the hell they want. Some people choose to work out, get some love life or buy out and get some clothes while others choose to play on the computer. Playing on the computer may not entertain some people while it will to others. Same thing goes with anything going on in the world. Some people choose to have their own style with clothes, while others go with the trends.
My conclusion is that while some people like doing some things, others like doing others. It's a fact of life. People have interests in different things and that is their own business.
________________________________
For the game.
Graphics 9/10 - People say these graphics look bad because they are "cartoony" and whatnot. Yes they are a bit. But in my opinion the "Real Life" graphics such as guild wars look horrible as they are all sharp and whatnot, it just doesn't look nice.
PVP: The pvp system is great.(Roll a PVP realm) I play all these other games and you need to go to 1 certain area to pvp? What? In WoW you can just run up to a person aslong as they are flagged for pvp and you can hack away at them. Pretty much anywhere levels 20+. There are also battlegrounds you can join in such as CTF, capture resource nodes, a combine of the two or attack the enemies fortress. They are fun but will get boring after a while. When you are bored, Go make an arena team and do 2v2 or 3v3, maybe even 5v5!
There is plenty of skills you train in and they even have 3 different trees of talents you can train in giving your pvp/ pve an edge. As for balance, yes some classes are harder to beat than others aslong you are a certain class eg: Mages can wtfpwn rogues/warriors but get wtfpwned by warlocks.
Leveling -
Most of you people say it takes forever and it is repetitive. Do the quests, they add to the game and it is not a endless grind like some games. Once you are level 13(horde) or level 17(alliance) you can start doing instances!(dungeons)
Realms -
Some of you have said there are way to many realms. There are a bunch (40 or so on the US WoW) but that is because there is so many people playing. On each server there are thousands of players playing and you can interact with them making parties and such.
Price -
If you think that 15 dollars a month is outrageous then you must be poor or something. It is nothing, what roughly 4$ a week. If you can't make take that much out of your wallet a week then something is wrong. If you are like 10 years old go mow lawns or something.
I know I have missed a bunch of points but WoW is still an amazing game.

Comment: I only played this game for a short time but I hear very well of it, this post is in response to _creator_-'s and rip the sky's comments. First off _creator_- I will point out that significance in all its forms is infact opinion (beauty is in the eye of the beholder); Also the comment "does nothing for them" is a beyond obvious lie, the point of life itself is to pursue what you are passionette about and to do anything else that does not escape moral boundaries is "a waste".
Tell me this.
"Does World of Warcraft show your children affection?"
The definition of affection is "to do somthing to"
so yes it infact does show affection for your children, and yes even according to your inaccurate meaning of the word it has the inevitable effect of giving them emotions including joy.
"Does World of Warcraft save people from cancer and diseases?"
Let me ask you a question, did you volunteer to go to Africa to help build houses and feed the poor?
"Does World of Warcraft feed you?"
Do books feed you?
"Does World of Warcraft raise your Kids?"
It could assist as would any stimulating action.
"Does World of Warcraft pay for your bills?"
If we lived our lives only concerned of our needs we would be not more then goldfish hiding under a fish tank's model rock hoping the gaint malevolent shadow behind the glass wont harm us.
"get active" There certainly are pros and cons to being active, but no one has the right to decide a personal gamble for another they can only inform them of the consequences both sides reap; And speaking of getting educated "rediculas" -ridiculous.
To deal with Rip The Sky would take more time then I care to put into someone so inept towards sociology, but I will say that "achievment" is abstract and of personal judgement and to attach some divine significance to a hunk of metal being handed to you at a finish line is facetious; also we know reality only threw sentience meaning games like WoW can be as real as going to the beach.

Comment: I know a Way to play World of Warcraft for Free.
Search in World of Warcraft Private Servers.
Then it will give you alot of Private Servers that are FREE. I play on a Server that on the First kill you get to lvl 90. And there are Epic Shops with full of all the Epic - Legendary Items you can get. When you kill a lvl 1 Humanoid you at least get 300-1200g. It is called Renegade WoW. So... These servers I play on does not have a Monthly Fee. =D

Comment: graphics:4
customization/character creation:2
gameplay:5
first of all graphics the reason i gave this game a 4 on graphics is because this game has mediocre graphics compared to other mmorpgs such as City Of Heroes/Villians and Guild Wars and its sad when something like guild wars which is similar to this game looks way better graphically than this especially since guild wars is free and here in canada its $20 a month.
customization- the reason why i am giving this game a 2 for customization is because there really isnt much to choose from and its very easy to find someone who looks exactly like your character at the beginning and there isnt much personalization in appearance other than armor
gameplay- the reason i gave gameplay a 5 is because this game gets boring after a very short while though fun at one point it got old fast and really it takes forever to level up, it really makes it boring when to attack its as easy as clicking right click to watch your character attack automatically when its so much more fun to actually control the attacks. yea there are power ups and you could use spells but for players who like hand to hand combat this game is a drag and not worth paying for. also when your characters level up you have no control over what stats get increased and by how much and i believe that this game is WAY OVER-GLORIFIED.
all in all i rate world of warcraft a 4 i didnt like it i wouldnt exactly recommend it to anyone who likes realism rather than mediocre cartoon graphics and people who like to be more in control of what they do.
ps. please respect and do not criticize my review as it is what i think of this game everyone is entitled to their opinion

Comment: first off, for all you that say that this game is too addicting, isn't that the point of a game, to be fun and addictive.
second, for those that say that the $15 dolar a month price tag is to much, if $15 dollars a month is too much for you then how do you afford your internet that's $30+ month.
third, if you think that WoW turns people into drones/zombies/etc, then so be it at least they're having fun
fourth, for those of you who say to play runescape becuase it's cheap and fun, it's cheap all right, cheaply made, blizzard spent over 30 million dollars to make world of warcraft
fifth, for those who think that killing and questing is bad, yeah......think again, being able to do all this killing and questing shows that the world is big and expansive.
sixth, for those who think that the download is to long and not worth it, and you fall asleep waiting by the computer for it to download, you could just do something else, and another thing, i have dial-up and the download took a week, and i think it was worth it, and i didn't wait by the computer the entire time.
so i give it a 10 because it deserves it, being fun, addictive, a fun community, and a huge world to explore

Comment: Wo-ho! world of warcraft! alright! lets get started shall we? OK so I'm not one of the most experienced players of world of warcraft ( best charater is Manaliana lv 34 NE hunter gurubashi server) But I do enjoy the game, I'm not one of those "lazy fat nerds" who play for 16 some odd hours a day wich i agree they do need a life...
though world of warcraft has alot of servers... ( soemtimes i do think to many) but if you find a good server you can have alot of fun.
Oh and i know someone is eventually or already has called people on the game noobs or jerks casue of a few reasons... like they wouldn't give you soemthing ( been called a noob 5 times casue i wouldn't give soem lv 4 5g....) wouldn't help them on something ( been called a jerk twice cause i was doing something and some lv 15 guy came and expected me to drop everything and help him... and so on and so forth...
Now there are those bad servers you need to watch out for... ( thank god I only use one server which is a decent one...) and no matter where you go there are gonna be jerks ext. but all in all the game isn't to bad of a game. the graphic are definatly better then alot of the mmorpg's out there, and i'm by no means calling it the best game out there. ( cause for all i know there could be better i haven't played) Now the 15$ a month may seem harsh but if you think about it to have that many servers running a game that is so vividly detailed such as world of warcraft servers... that does cost a bit of money.. and every game that charges something is looking for a profit... there's no such thing as free in the gaming world almost unfortuanly..
So for all you world of warcraft haters... don't waste your energy ranting about how bad it is or seomthing... you could A: try to make it better. B: give it up and move on.
or C: look like immature moron's by bashing at games others like... very few games deserve 0's and world of warcraft is not one of them... if you dont like the game or the backround story or whatever, dont play it and save our ears from your pointless ranting :P
