    The people who play this game are absolutely horrible to new players. I tend to blame the software, since there's so little to do late game that high level players feel they have nothing to do but gank low levels, and treat their customer base poorly. Do not buy this game if you're a new player.

    As a MMORPG, it is definitely top of its line, with comparatively better graphics against others of its kind.

Honestly, as a software game, WoW is repetitive and slow paced. the combat system, not matter how powerful you are, is inflexible, and unexciting. the graphic despite receving compliments everywhere, is not really impressive to say the least, in fact it looks like some thing 4 years ago. all the sounds including music, are all very low quality. the sounds in-game from npcs and such are really not what Blizzard games are known for. I'm not really sure how to convince you about the quality of this game in the presence of so many good reviews (i'm not sure if i'm gonna trust reviews as much now). If you honestly find it a over 90 score game without being affected by other's opinions and the hype about it, then you truly deserve to be cheated by this game. Very simply explained, the game is MMORPG, where producers aim to accomodate as many customers as they can to get as much cash as possible. to do that, they must lower the quality for lousier computers. And the design of the game would be to be played for a long time, but not necessary good, they could just put in many tedious quests. in saying so, you're actually paying for a sub quality game. =]… Expand

    I have to say that of all RPGs out there, this may possibly be the one I hate the most. It seems to me that it takes the mindless droning of a sub-teenager to be able to sit glued to your computer screen repetitively killing the same monster over and over for hours on end to level up.... once.

Also, the game's lack of depth in terms of difficulty and what I call 'intelligence requirements' are rather low, resulting in an experience that feels degrading. I must admit however, that the game has a somewhat decent look to it, and the graphics have a nice touch to them, but are still sub-par in the current world of gaming. Overall, I did not enjoy my experience with this game.… Expand

    Buggy as **** Even after several patches, still broken. You can glitch through terrain very easily. Each expansion means just more pointless grind where you don't get more powerful. All gear which isn't high level is worthless but you need it to get the end-game gear - fail. Traveling in this game is pathetic. An easy aggro system which is unchallenging. The crafting?

Time limits on some things, collecting mats is either flying around for days or farming to buy them, some crafting actually relies on high level dungeon drops, so you cannot even make decent gear without joining a group and being a liability. Pots are entirely useless... Oh and people make chars on alliance and horde to pk you... world pk is useless and an obstruction to levelling, if you are low or have no gear it is just annoying and you cannot do anything, pk servers always die first. pkers are **** idiots who are angsty and flame you... pvp is only fun on equal grounds, because it actually indicates skill. The only notable thing is the quest tracking system, which still doesn't work properly and still has broken quests.… Expand

    The expansion packs did not work with our group - i thought when i finally got past all the troubleshooting that I would enjoy the game but it got very boring very quickly. When i meet face to face with players who love the game - i notice that one common fact is that they all haven't played anything else out there.

    The game has aged terribly. At this point the game should be free/highly discounted. There are much better more recent MMO games with a better monthly fee and lower cost of admission.

    A terrible MMO that has became a shadow of it's former self. It's become nothing more than a vessel to exploit the ignorant and uninformed with it's extortionate expansion prices and draconian subscription. Do yourself a favor and play TERA or Guild Wars 2 instead. They are cheaper, have much better combat and infinitely better quests.

Boring fetch quests, mindless grinding, repetitive quests (talk to that person, bring me the letter he will give you, go back to him and give him this, then come back to me...). It all gets super boring in the end at least for me. Let's not even talk about the subscription. I've already talked about it a bit in the beginning of this review, but I feel like it's not enough.
    Let me bring up that the subscription you have to pay per month, is pretty big. I mean 15 euros for a month of grinding and repetitive quests? Doesn't seem like that good of a deal to me.
    Seriously Blizzard, why don't you actually work on making the game fun, rather than inventing new methods to squeeze the most money out of your players. World of Warcraft should look up to

All the GOOD features are reserved for the high levels, ok there are a few quests early on, but after level 10 its just a grind fest that slowly gets more and more tedious until you get to level 30 when you will either: A. Realise your wasting your life, uninstall the game, cancel your account and warn everyone about this game. OR B. Keep playing until your skin turns green from sunlight depravation, then realise that your dog has died and you should have probably fed it instead of playing the game. But seriously this game is waste of your money and your life, dont try it youll get hooked but after seeing the light you will look back and ask: "How did i find a reason to pay for that piece of poo?"… Expand

It's simplistic lacking strategy or skill, those who play will find themselves mistaking their characters effectiveness at "pwning" as reaffirmation of their own abilities, unfortunately this is a fallacy. I agree with G W in that people who are addicted are forced into saying they love it because otherwise dissonance would settle due to the conflicting ideas of "this is a bad game" and "I play this game". On the other hand we all have our terrible guilty pleasure of a game (mine is Samurai Warriors) that we love accepting that the game is severely lacking in challenge. Plus, some people need to be validated as human beings and the reaffirmation that they can succeed merely by investing an amount of time sufficient to level up is needed for maintaining their self esteem (no offense to said people). In summary, the game fills or creates a compulsive niche in many peoples psychology such that the true quality of the game becomes obscured and insignificant in comparison to attaining one more fix... one more level. I consider this less a game and more a money grab that abusing a dependence.… Expand

The whole boring journey to get to 70 is the same thing over and over with overused models and skinned items (usually just a difference in color). The quests are dull even at 70 with going out and killing a certain amount of monsters then coming back. Although some of the last quests are quite fun but there are only 2-3 of them that actually are. The only time I had excitement was when I hit 70, which only lasted about 5 minutes. To level you must grind, do horrible quests that will want to make you kill yourself, or instances with either 10 year olds (Alliance) or people that need to get jobs and move out of their parent's houses (Horde). Upon getting to 70 you waste your life doing either raiding or PvP. Raiding first of all is fun the first time but then gets repetitive by the 10th time you do it. PvP requires you to wait 10 minutes to get in a battle ground and just end up losing or Arena which is fun but can be very frustrating and annoying. Getting one piece of gear usually takes a whole 1-2 days of sitting in front of a computer. The point of doing these is to get better gear to do better in PvP or raiding. But the only point to PvP or Raid is to get better gear... Didn't make much sense to me. This gear is fun at first but then you realize you wasted your time when you find out the next expansion is coming out and it will be worthless. If that isn't bad enough you must get 10 more levels with the same quests and poorly skinned models as before. People say omg it's the best game ever!11! but that's just because they don't want to admit they wasted their life and lost everything they had before.

The answer comes in two parts; firstly, there is advertising. Lots and lots of it. We've all seen the adds, and so it's pretty well known. This part is encouraged (via word of mouth) by the second part - Addiction - Blizzard are experts at making addictive games. Look at Diablo 2 and Starcraft. They are both old, outdated games and yet both still have huge amounts of players. You could say this is because they are good games, and that is true to an extent. But it's mostly in the way they are designed. They give you a false sense of achievement that keeps you coming back for more. WoW is FULL of this. To an extent, every mmorpg is, but WoW especially. Ultimately, the PVP is poor, the world and characters look like a cartoon and frankly, the quests are downright boring and disjointed most of the time. This game is crap, crap laced with the most addictive drug in the world. If i was being honest, I would give this game a 5.

Not enough detail in character creation, to little races and class's, sooo many people look the same. This game is a waste of money and time...if you've hit level cap, i'm sure you dont have much of an outside life. It looks as if all the people who rated 8-10 probably played runescape or WoW as their first mmorpg.… Expand

    Overrated. The graphics are not very good, it fells a bit unserious and way to cartoonish. The sounds and music is decent, but there is nothing really special or cool about it, medicore. But the worst about this game is the gameplay. The quests are extremely repeative and dull, it fells like they just putted them into some random generator and then something popped out.

    "This isnt a game, Its a drug" i half agree with this statment, this is either a drug or a social medium. the excuses you tell yourself are either. "just one more run and I can get that epic purple" or "what would my online friends do without me to tank" but eventually you realize you are just wasting time and money for a 15$ a month excuse.

    Blizzard should stick to what it knows best, RTSs and Pointless Hack and Slash games. This has to be one of the biggest jokes of an MMORPG on the market.

    This game gets about a 9 right up until you hit max level. At that point, everything becomes repeated runs of dungeons you've already been to, helping lowbies, showing up for raids like it's a second job, and guild drama.

    I ask you: Where lies the fun in a game where the only objectives are: Kill X number of monster Z for random asshole Y? Also, the graphics are pathetic, the story is out of the window and it costs you money and time. A better way to waste your money and life would be to withdraw all of your money and then jump off a highway bridge. This game is utterly pathetic.

    This game sucks in every possible way. It's doing the same thing over and over, go out and kill something, go back claim pointless reward.

The graphics are very old and are the worst in this category of game. The whole MMORPG idea is just addictive yet boring, but if you feel you must play them, then at least play a half decent one!

    Believe the red posts here: WoW is a drug, not a game. Like all drugs, some people get some enjoyment out of it, some don't. Some get addicted easily, some don't.

    Although it does have some replay value, this game just sucks. MMORPGS aren't at all that great in my opinion, and WoW is quite an overated game situated in this category. If the harsh graphics, ear piercing sound, and mindless gameplay don't turn you off of this game, the community should. My advise, don't waste your time.

    I can only feel pity for anyone who has actually played world of warcraft. Game is designed to be an endless grind of your time, and not actually have substance or interest. Add that blizzard is a sellout since activision and you have a game designed to sink in way more money than you intend.

    Posting reviews for this game are pointless - you're going to buy this based on what you're friends say, not what I say. But I'm reviewing this briefly none the less.

I played up to level 54 and 56 on a rogue and paladin respectively, tried out a Warlock to 43 - so I'm more than well versed in the gameplay. But the fact remains, this game is entirely grinding until you hit the max level. There is no real storyline and almost no real interaction between players unless you play with friends or actually roleplay on one of the roleplaying servers (although nobody roleplays there, really). If you want to spend countless hours killing 10 Thistlebark Geomancers, 10 Thistlebark Hunters, and 10 Thistlebark Waterweavers, and countless hours collecting 60 Boar Tusks, turning it in for a quarter of your XP bar, and then doing it all again over and over, go ahead. If you want to go spend countless hours doing the same Capture-the-Flag or King of the Hill PvP battlegrounds just to fight against players that have better gear but are less skilled than you (But kill you anyway), be my guest. This game is a waste of money, and a waste of life. Go out and find a boyfriend or girlfriend instead.… Expand

    Why Blizzard, WHY!?! I've played WoW and i can't stand the game. I don't understand how so many people like it. THIS IS THE WORST MMO I HAVE EVER PLAYED. I've played some bad ones. Also, another reason I dislike the game so much it doesn't even deserve hell, Blizzard killed one of their best franchises. I loved WarCraft, AS AN RTS. It's just not good as an MMO.

    I played WoW for almost one year, and liked most of it.
    Until I started doing team quests and raids...
    There you are, with 24 other players, most of which have done this raid before. Some of them have done it many, many times. But for you it is a first time. And even though you watched a youtube video or two, chaos breaks loose around you. So you run around, try to do something useful,    I played WoW for almost one year, and liked most of it.

And even though you watched a youtube video or two, chaos breaks loose around you. So you run around, try to do something useful, and most likely are killed off quickly.
    Do the other players care? They certainly do: They are P***ED that you are not performing as well as they are, and they let you know it. In very harsh, vulgar language, which will not be repeated here. Use your imagination.
    Repeated complaints and reportings of some players lead to exactly nothing. No reaction whatsoever from Blizzard.
    And some raids just cannot be avoided when you follow the story line...

    So if you wish to play WoW, be prepared of this. And if your kids want to play, consider this from their point of view. I am 50+ years old, and found this a humiliating experience. This does not bid well for kids in the same situation!

    In more than 30 years of online gaming I have never met so many rude and arrogant players as in WoW. But I hasten to add that in every raid there were also people behaving in a polite and civilized way. Either a minority, or not concerned enough to speak up stronger.

    The game itself would get 8 points, but because of the behaviour of many players, and Blizzard's lack of action, it is a 4.    … Expand

    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.
