Sep 8, 2023Vanilla WoW was my childhood, it may or may not have ruined it and turned me into a hopeless gaming addict.
-
Sep 6, 2023Was an amazing MMO for it's time, and still is quite good. Wrath of the Lich King and Dragonflight are the two best expansions. There have been some terrible ones. Beware this game is all consuming and will destroy your life if you want to be competitive.

Aug 11, 2023Best Game ever. You have PvP with Raids, where you can fight bosses and progress, and Dungeons (M+). You have limited Time, your enemis will have more health and deal more damage with every level and alot events. And PvP with Battelgrounds and Arenas. Its much fun!!!

Aug 9, 2023Vanilla wow still the best game ever made. None of the expansions come close to the brilliance of the Vanilla and original version.
-
Jul 29, 2023Extremely addictive.
Can't wait for PS5 version.
I'd even buy an X-Box to play. -

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.

Jul 14, 2023очень крутая и увлекательная стратегия спасибо разрабам за этот шедевр!

Jul 2, 2023(perfect)game but its not really hard and the good thing is it runs on every computer/laptop with 100 fps
-
Jun 12, 2023The best MMORPG to this day, period. There is no competition and it offers content for all types of players.
-
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.
-
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.

Mar 15, 2023Highly addictive. If you find a good community on here, this is one of the funnest games to play.

Feb 5, 2023classic game best game what can i say 1000 hours of joy and happiness in this perfect world of Warcraft 10/10
-
Jan 31, 2023this game is something else, I enjoyed so much , thanks for everything guys

Sep 17, 2022Simply the best game of all time. If you haven't tried it you should try it now.
-
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
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.

Jun 10, 2022Juego muy divertido aunque ya quedo algo viejo, se podrían mejorar muchas cosas
-
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. -
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.
-
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 =)
-
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?
-
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 .

Jan 26, 2022It's simply THE MMORPG. I haven't played for many years, but the base game itself was genre defining and still is.
-
Jan 17, 2022one of the best games I've ever played one of the best games I've ever played
-
Nov 2, 2021good game . i am liking it alot .does good work.i have been working on unlocking allied races and flying and it feels fun
-
Oct 25, 2021лучшая ммо никто так и не может переплюнуть ни по геймлплею ни по лору и ваще топчик керик играл за ханта а я друид
-
Sep 26, 2021The nostalgic feeling I get form thinking about this RTS trend setter for so many games. Made me start getting into the genre I will never leave. Just epic.
-
Sep 23, 2021An awsome game that is super fun to play with friends but it misses the 10 for me with questing being anoying when things don´t spawn and when other players steal stuff you been waiting for to spawn.
-
Sep 2, 2021This game is fantasctic. All things in game are very good. Ounly one thing i hate at this game......farming almost alll things....like mounts, toys and all things. I like this game.
-
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!
-
Jul 22, 2021very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good

Jul 2, 2021World of Warcraft is like playing World of Warcraft - you play World of Warcraft.
-
May 25, 2021Short review but: AMAZING! Game. Still so fun all these years later.
FOR THE ALLIANCE xD -
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.

Feb 27, 2021Such was such a great game in its time. Still the MMORPG to beat till this day.
-
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 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. -

If you a looking for a MMORPG, play it. -
Jun 23, 2020Es probablemente el MMO RPG mas importante y sin dudas el mas masivo de la historia. Un juegazo, con un lore impresionante, un mundo inmenso, y que con el pasar de los años y a pesar de no tener graficos de vanguardia, se mantiene vigente y activo.
-

Jan 31, 2020Best game ever made. Not for everyone. So much of games today wish for a fraction of this game's... anything
-

Jan 4, 2020This game is super satisfying. It's not based on killing hundreds and hundreds monsters, or riding from one NPC to another. WoW has... Something special.
Also playing with a friend, sibling, partner... Makes game just better. -
Mar 14, 2019Great game...eh okay I have to admit that I wasn't there in the beginning. I came after Cataclysm, but hey at least I was part of the very first game Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and so on, so I have been part of this way before World of Warcraft-series began.
According to others review a lot were changed during the Cataclysm. -
Nov 22, 2018Прекрасний лор, игра интересная, мир очень живой. Игре уже 14 лет, а она досих пор на плаву.
-
Nov 3, 2018Vanilla was pretty good, but too much grind, and hard to find party to dungeon. But it was the best time of WoW, and all classes was uncial, not like now - every class have the same abilities with other class.
-
Oct 25, 2018Great World of Warcraft Arena Boosting Service!
Playing everyday. https://foxstore.pro/eu/ -
Oct 14, 2018This game is so good and i love the story behind it and how big it is !
It always have something new
i got so obsessed with this game literally this is the best MMO game i saw
what i dont like is how much you must spend on game time :/ -
Oct 6, 2018Best of The Best MMo ever.. 10/10 giant game,giant world, a world in which you forget about real 10/10
-
Oct 1, 2018World of Warcraft i love you. World of Warcraft i love you. World of Warcraft i love you.
-
May 10, 2018Beautiful world that you can play in with your friends. If you dont get addicted it is a great game to play casually! With all the updates, there is tons of content for you to enjoy!
-
May 8, 2018Amazing, there is little else it say. It is the most expansive game. Ever. Literally, look it up. It has a land mass larger than all other games (except of course for self generating games such as Minecraft or No Mans Sky), and it's full of detail, a lot of detail.
-
Apr 25, 2018Infinite replay value. A game which formed communities within itself. Cannot wait for Classic relaunch.

Jul 30, 2017I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.

Jun 24, 2017Not only is this my favorite game it is the best game i have ever played. I have been playing for 5 years now and i will never give up on this game it has a special place in my heart. Blizzard is my favorite game company I enjoy all there games very much. I play this game hard on weekends and summers great game.
-
May 21, 2017I remember playing this back in the days... Good gold days with the friends. Nowadays, the game kinda lowered the fun a little bit by adding lfr and dungeon finder, there isn't much more social activity. Still best MMO RPG ever created , they really put a lot of work in Legion.
-
Dec 30, 2016Great game. Had some technical flaws, glitches, boring grindiness but much more casual than Everquest. The best MMORPG in history. The best thing about this game was the social experience you had playing it 12-10 years ago. The first time was great.
-
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.

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)

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...
-
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.

Dec 11, 2015Vanilla was one of the best expansion in World of Warcraft series. They need to work harder to beat the best expansion (I mean Vanilla, BC, WOTLK). I hope Legion will beat them and will raise the subscription again to 10+ Millions.

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
-
Jul 1, 2015Good: Gameplay, Community/Guilds/People, Locations, Raids, Atmosphere, Setting
Mixed: Story, Leveling, Sounds
Bad: ---
Very addictive game. Many fantastic memories. Easily the best MMORPG on the market, at least when i played ;) . -
May 15, 2015I'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!)
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.
