    Good Points: Loads of content this is the only mmo with extreme loads of content many things to do can get very addictive it may swolow you're social life up in my opinion.

    Bad Points: The bad things are it can eat you're social life up like it did with me, you may forget you're friends it can start with maybe 1 hour, then 1 hour turns in to 2 hours, then 6 hours, then around the clock if you're not carefull and the pay monthly fee to keep the account active and playable nothing is free either you need to pay to change you're characters name and even to transfer the character to another realm and many players have gone from the real world to a fantasy world many new words have been invented by players who become a bit to much involved in the game and kinda have gone crazy to my opinion words like Noob.

    General comments: I was skeptical about World of Warcraft... I was a diehard Warcraft & Warcraft II fan, but Warcraft III let me down. I was more excited about Diablo II and Starcraft and their possible sequels, and I wasn't keen on the monthly service charge on top of paying for the game. I made the jump when I read a blog post that made a good case for signing up for WOW: Blizzard is constantly adding content to the game, the per month charge is less than a trip to the movies these days, and millions of subscribers can't be (that) wrong. So I signed up and jumped right in. I'm glad I did, since it's been wonderful time spent. Starting in the game is extremely easy... Choose a side (horde or alliance), a race, and a class. The horde has the orcs, trolls, undead, and tauren (who are like huge sentient buffalo). The alliance is graced with the gnomes, elves, humans, and dwarves. The classes are mage, priest, warrior, rogue, paladin, warlock, hunter, druid, and shaman. Not all races can be all classes, but the application allows you to create as many characters as you like to try all the different combinations. You start in a low level zone and are given quests to complete from the various NPCs. The quest are geared to level your character, and you usually gain loot upon completion. Loot can become something of an obsession, because Blizzard does a really good job of putting variety into the items in both abilities and look. (I've known people to carry around seemingly worthless items just because they look cool.) The death penalty in this game is pretty low. If you are killed, you're ghost appears at the closest graveyard. You have run as a ghost back to your corpse and you resurrect when you're close enough. The graveyards are never too far of a run, and you keep your loot (I've heard of other MMOs where people can take your stuff... eghads!) As you advance through the game, you'll level up and will be able to go to explore more of the world. You will eventually are able to explore dungeons (known as instances) which forces you to group up with other players of the game to have a good time. The "world" in this game is absolutely massive, and there's always people on playing who are willing to play. The coolest aspect of this game is that you can choose to group up with people and tackle the dungeons, or just go through the whole experience alone. There's enough content in this game to solo pretty much all the way through the max level (60 in the base game, 70 in the expansion). I think this is Blizzard's magic formula: they've put together a MMO that's compelling enough to not require the "multiplayer" for gamers to have fun. One teensy downside: say goodbye to your free time if you decide to sign up for this game.

    I personally am not a fan of World of Warcraft at all, it is so confusing, I cant understand the reason for it. The graphics are great, but the time it takes to play it is not worth it for me, and for example what are blood elfs and other made up characters. I dont understand this game therefore I do not recommend it, I couldnt even play it for an hour.

    Wow is as addictive as it is annoying expensive i didn't know the game was only a month-free trial before you have to pay 8 pounds a month afterwards and it isn't clear on the website. All races on it though make-up for it and in my opinion its like a online Oblivion(YOU HAVE TO PAY) but its brilliant all the same unique lands and tirelessly massive all my time I don't think anyone's done all the quests and explored the whole land.But you either love it or hate it but I personally love it and ...

    A very very good PvP and role playing game just a shame about the power needed to make it run effectively and the annoying noobs.

    There is so much in this game to explore, even after two years of playing you will still be finding new things that amaze you each time. If you need any help with the game, here are some guides that are very good buys! they are also good for the experienced player.

    Great graphics! It makes Runescape look sad and shameful. It has the best quests and story lines. Multiple types of online servers including Normal, PVP and RP etc. Great races and classes available for character selection with fantastic gear. Massive instances where huge raids occur. World of Warcraft is a very addictive PC game. Only play it if you wish it to take over your life. It is a great Game.

    Prepare to lose your life!!! I quit playing World of Warcraft about 2 months ago now after a stint of 6 months which saw me level a 60 warlock and a 43 rogue on a RP-PVP server. Allow me to give benefit of my experience: First off, the game is so addictive if you have a job, friends, a girlfriend, kids or a liking of more than 3 minutes sunlight a day YOU WILL SLOWLY LOSE IT ALL!!! It absolutely immersed my every waking minute if I could award higher than 10 addiction level I would! N ...

    The World of Warcraft PC game is excellent! Always things to do, stuff to get and quests to enjoy. The game offers things for all types of gamers, such as a huge amount of quests, lots of monsters to level up on a great leveling system, and lots of items to collect and places to see. The graphics are amazing, and if you have a fast internet connection you will get no lag and get the game to its full potential. One of the problems is that there aren't enough worlds, so there is at times a ...

    The pitch of the World of Warcraft PC game is you are put into the world and may join the hordes or the alliance. You must then build your levels through quests, and then perhaps attack the other team of players, and what is also claimed to be a place to make friends and to form relationships. The game can be found almost everywhere, and it is hyped tremendously, often hogging displays, and is commonly seen in Game and GameStation etc. What I must say is that the game is beautiful, and muc ...

    World of Warcraft is a great game to play, in my opinion. Find out why by reading some of my experiences with this game below... Graphics If you've seen the Blizzard screenshots, you know that WoW is taking a non-realistic cartoony approach to the graphics. This art direction works. The game is fun to look at. Gameplay I had fun doing everything I tried. Pellets came often enough to keep me happy. There are no punishing failures in this game, no failed crafting combines that eat all the ...

    I read the previous review and, whilst I agree, mostly, it didn't really help the non World of Warcraft user to decide whether to pay money for it. I'm what's considered a casual gamer: I've never played an online game, and I don't own any other games consoles or tee shirts relating to any games. However, a friend bought this for me and it was for that reason I thought I'd give it a try. For the non-gamer: There are two factions you can choose from, and each has four races: Alliance (Hu ...

    I think that World of Warcraft is the best RPG ever made and Blizzard has created a great game that will be played for year's to come. I think it's great how the game never ends, that was a great idea so you will never get bored, definitely worth the money. World of Warcraft is a great game it is very mass multiplayer and has many different characters to choose from. It is unlike any other Warcraft has ever produced, this is an RPG (Role Playing Game). There are many servers to choose from an ...
