Dec 19, 2011I'll do a short-ish review: At start it was good, after Vanilla it started to go down. Especially after Mists of Pandaria. Blizzard has truly ran out of ideas. If it becomes F2P or they remove monthly fee, I might continue playing it. (Yes I have played it!)

May 25, 2022Well, so far the BEST MMORPG that has been ever createn on this Planet. Vanilla, TBC, WOTLK, Cataclysm, Legion. Other expansions weren't so well. Showing my gratitude to an old Blizzard team. Thanks for childhood experience =)
-
Apr 19, 2022Amazing game just buy or try it for free to level 20 you can play it until then. If you're not happy then just do not buy it. Its just that simple for people to make there own choice on the game .
-
Jun 13, 2022There is no doubt. this is and will always be the best MMORPG on the market. I'm not playing the game anymore. But the game still gave me +15 years of great content. I'm 100% going back to the newest expansion "Dragonflight". But if I'm purely rating the experience I had in 2005, for Vanilla WoW. Then it was 10/10, and I was the happiest little boy in the world back then.

Apr 22, 2021This game has been a massive part of my life and I've never really had any massive problems. The only problems would be bad balancing of classes and just making bad changes to Pvp and abilities. I've played this game ever since I was a kid really so It's always been magical seeing the story of WOW come to life. Even now I still love collecting mounts, playing dungeons and joining guilds.
-
Aug 18, 2021It's been almost a decade since I've last played this game. I believe it's addictive qualities are dangerous. However, to be completely fair, it's addictive because it's brilliant!
-
May 16, 2022No doubt the best game ever. Think about this, is there a second game you can play for almost two decades and still keep it in your hard drive just in case you wanna play it from now and then?
-
Jun 8, 2022I was lucky enough to have my childhood spent with friends outside but in 2004 it changed when the game was released...
My first experience with the game was on private servers but later on, I moved to retail and played basically for the next 16-17 years till the Korthia patch in Shadowlands- after that I don't intend to play this game anymore. -
AlexP.Oct 25, 2006Those of you who are complaining because Blizzard won't respond- suck it up. Do you know how many people e-mail Blizzard everyday because of their problems? Stop whining! Stop crying! You try answering 5000 e-mails a day! A great game. You will be addicted. The only con is that you must pay fifteen dollars a month.

MaxD.Apr 9, 2007This is a great MMO that's worth every penny of the monthly fee. Everything about it is great, except for one thing, it has the same old Xp. System of every other MMO, kiil for xp
-
-
JettT.Mar 18, 2007I thoroughly enjoy this great game, it was still possible to run on a measly 256MB RAM, it'll be much better with more RAM though.

-
J.LewisNov 16, 2004Really really fun in Beta, can't wait to see it take off...
-
-
SaschaP.Nov 16, 2004A very well designed game with high fun factor.

StevelNov 19, 2004I played in beta for about 3 weeks and fell in love with the game. Just so much fun.
-
-
DavidL.Nov 22, 2004An addictive game in an addictive world of magic and myth. World of Warcraft is one of the few games that bridges the gap between the power and casual gamer with it's unique 'rested experience'. All in all, I am going to be losing a lot of sleep on this one.
-
-
SeniorCoconutDec 12, 2004This is a shining beacon in the history of video game design. A phenomenal experience right out of the box.
-
-
KyleLSep 19, 2009This is 1 of the best games that I have ever played. This mmo is a fun and engaging experience and the only MMO that I could get hooked on EVER! Sure it is addicting, it is hard to level and there is a limit of two proffessions, it is still a good game.
-
-
ChristianSSep 28, 2009A game that has sparked board games, trading cards, books, and graphic novels. This game has been praised and mocked, but all in all nobody can say this is a bad game, even if it ruined your life. Be warned, don't live your life in the game, it's gonna kill you in real life.

Dec 11, 2016I used to like this game, in its beginnings, but as soon as i found it was a necessity to make part of a guild that more than not rejects you and gives you no loot, making you stall into the game, begging for a raid, i totally broke for me.

Jul 1, 2015Good: Gameplay, Community/Guilds/People, Locations, Raids, Atmosphere, Setting

Bad: ---
Very addictive game. Many fantastic memories. Easily the best MMORPG on the market, at least when i played ;) . -

Apr 25, 2016So interesting game. You have a lot of activities in it. Only one minus - bad textures resolution when you turn ultra textures resolution ON. And quest are boring (nat all quests)

Feb 6, 2021This game was such a mess...
Such a wonderful mess, classic which is not even really this game, is still better in many ways then current retail wow. but also they have clearly learned stuff from making the game this long.
I feel like you could make a perfect MMO at this point by remaking vanilla wow. -
Feb 27, 2019It's pretty good just there needs to be more to do. After a few weeks of playing it gets kinda boring unless your a hardcore fan.
-

May 23, 2020wow is a classic now its worse and worse but I played it when it was the best and all the raids were great and fun and with somw private servers its better beause it doessnt take ages to level up also pvp is a lot of fun.
-
Dec 23, 2020Im a huge WoW fan and this is a great expansion, not as good as Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers but overall a great experience. Would be a higher score if covenants and subclasses werent so unbalanced. Lets hope the upcoming patches will make it better.
-
Feb 6, 2021Pretty good game. Though I don't really like that you only get to go to level 20 in the free version.
-
Feb 27, 2021Such was such a great game in its time. Still the MMORPG to beat till this day.
-
Jun 10, 2022Juego muy divertido aunque ya quedo algo viejo, se podrían mejorar muchas cosas
-
May 25, 2021Short review but: AMAZING! Game. Still so fun all these years later.
FOR THE ALLIANCE xD -
Jan 17, 2022one of the best games I've ever played one of the best games I've ever played

Mar 22, 2022Man, fix Onyxia pls. Anyway, WoW was a hell of a game which Ive spent hours and hours grinding. I played it when I was little. Nice game which aged badly
-
Jun 7, 2022I enjoy this game. The leveling experience is quite fun, and is much more fun with friends. The end game is where the game essentially stops being fun, however. Once you reach max level you should just make a new character because everything after max level is boring.

Jul 26, 2022World of Warcraft is the most wonderful PC game I have ever played! Blizzard has successfully built up a wonderland for every players who have a dream of magic! For the Horld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Jul 14, 2023очень крутая и увлекательная стратегия спасибо разрабам за этот шедевр!
-
Sep 17, 2022Simply the best game of all time. If you haven't tried it you should try it now.
-
Nov 2, 2022I enjoyed World of Warcraft the most during The Burning Crusade through to Cataclysm but it is still a great experience but expect a learning curve if you are a new or recurring player. There is lots of content in the game from achievement items and epics but you are gonna have to buckle down and spend time and money.

Jan 31, 2023this game is something else, I enjoyed so much , thanks for everything guys
-
Feb 5, 2023classic game best game what can i say 1000 hours of joy and happiness in this perfect world of Warcraft 10/10
-
Mar 15, 2023Highly addictive. If you find a good community on here, this is one of the funnest games to play.
-
Apr 28, 2023Simply the best online game for me, kind of the pioneer of a lot of other games, not matter solo or online. I don't suggest anyone play it now because the new patches are no longer interesting. But if you were lucky to play it when it came out, I bet you would absolutely love it.
-
May 12, 2023The best MMORPG. If play this game today it´s just as good as before. The Community of Classic WoW is beatuiful, if you ask for help most of the time the people say yes and help you.
-
Jun 12, 2023The best MMORPG to this day, period. There is no competition and it offers content for all types of players.
-
Jul 2, 2023(perfect)game but its not really hard and the good thing is it runs on every computer/laptop with 100 fps
-
Jul 21, 2023Vanilla through WotLK was the pinnacle of MMO's & will probably never be topped. Molten Core 40 man was one of the best gaming moments of my life.

Feb 16, 2020Over hyped game, there is way better mmorpsg than this.... Boring combat, terrible graphics and so on mistakes in this game.
It couldn't keep me even couple of hours -
KyleA.Nov 28, 2004The Game would rock if the LAG didnt suck so much. Former Everquest player and current Final Fantasy 11 player and the graphics arent as good as ffxi but it is a lot more colorful FFXI lag oh wait what lag it doesnt have any. I am a huge fan of blizzard and hope they come up with a solution or else i am wont be playing the game but other then that the game ROCKS!!!
-
-
May 13, 2020Decent MMO RPG but the graphics is horrible to say the least. Also the subscription system is just stupid.
-
Feb 17, 2020trash game that's way past it's prime. People only "like" due to either nostalgia or because they have been playing nothing but this game for over a decade. .
-
JacquesL.Dec 10, 2004The game has its flaws but its so addictive to play that I can ignore those flaws.
-
-
Sep 4, 2014Not bad, but not the best. This game is incredibly stale and for some reason a subscription based MMO. I understand it is difficult to keep up servers for millions of people (back in 2004) , however that does not mean the price should be the same. As hosting the game does not require extremely high end servers compared to EVE online, where every core counts.

Mar 1, 2020hm... i have paid money and should stay in queue, bacause Blizzard is greedy to provide enough servers? no, thanks. I want my money back.
-
May 8, 2020Blizzard is not a company you should support. If you know everything goi g on that they do and still willingly support them, you should re evaluate yourself
-
May 20, 2012i would love to play but their are so many games like it that are free. It is pointless to play when it has 100s of copies free to play. waisting 15 dollars a month i am suprised it has such a large community. this game is Great fun gameplay but that much for this just go play somethign else like Forsaken world rappelz and many more F2p mmorpgs:(
-
Jul 9, 2013I have played every MMO out there.I'm a beta tester for a lot about to come out.So I know a good mmo when I play it.WoW is not a a good mmo.It has no difficulty at all.a boring poorly written story.Boring combat,and just all around a boring game.The only reason this game took off as it did is because at the time of release there wasn't much competition.If it was released today it would be a flop.
-
Nov 17, 2020I came back after not playing for a while. Worked my ass off not understanding the Flying achievement system. Thought I had unlocked it to find more reputation grind needed. I saved the world... again and again, yet I can't get flight status? Screw you Blizzard. Won't be paying into it anymore and nor will my friends.

AranW.May 20, 2006Best Game ever, the game seriously never ends, there is also something new to do, and there is always something you missed.
-
-
Jun 30, 2013I honestly find WoW boring. I mean it's fun for a bit, but I think it really fails as a game. It can be fun, and I'm sure it was back a few years. WoW just isn't good anymore, and can't compare to MMORPGS such as the indie Pokemon MMO, or DCUO.
-
Aug 14, 2015this game is very good it is worth it spending money on i play in a pvp server and i and i spend 50 euros on it to level up my chracter and it was worth it
-
Jan 10, 2016World of Warcraft is only game in world that I would pay for every month. Very big open area and lot of things to do and see. They should make some improvements on raids because only the greatest and nerdiest get there and other got kicked.
-
Jan 18, 2016Well i avoided this game for a long long time ...i tried almost every free MMORPG non of them holds for more than a week or two playing and after years and years i managed to try WOW...the game is absolute top in MMORPG genre...just go and try it its free until lvl20...for every MMORPG lovers is a must...
-
Dec 26, 2020Best game ever. Fantastic raids and dungeons. Nice lore. And many hours spent with friends.
-
Jul 2, 2021World of Warcraft is like playing World of Warcraft - you play World of Warcraft.
Awards & Rankings
-
Combines not only technical prowess and fine-tuned gameplay, but pleasure as well, making this the new standard for the competition. Word to the other companies: this is the reason your registered users are dwindling.
-
The game isn't flawless, nor is it technically finished - a good many quests fall into a "kill 20 of enemy X and collect 9 of item Y" pattern, a lot of promised end-game content still isn't in, and there are still bugs being squashed - but it's easily the closest MMORPGs have yet come to perfection. If this one doesn't hook you, nothing will.
-
Although it's not as technologically proficient as "EverQuest II," World of Warcraft has a more pronounced sense of style...If you're looking for a new MMORPG, then the World of Warcraft is the very first place you should visit.
