    Vanilla WoW was my childhood, it may or may not have ruined it and turned me into a hopeless gaming addict.

    Was 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.

    Best 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!!!

    The Good:
    WoW was groundbreaking by it's release, back in 2003, and it's vanilla form has held up for almost 20 years. Simply a classic, that really grasped the shear scope of a massive world, with countless adventures and friendships waiting.
    Lots of great class and faction fantasy. Each faction is unique, and so are the classes. Not everyone can interrupt spells, have defensive

    WoW was groundbreaking by it's release, back in 2003, and it's vanilla form has held up for almost 20 years. Simply a classic, that really grasped the shear scope of a massive world, with countless adventures and friendships waiting.
    Lots of great class and faction fantasy. Each faction is unique, and so are the classes. Not everyone can interrupt spells, have defensive cooldowns, or can burst. There's pros and cons to each class - Class Flavour.

    The Bad:
    Biggest downside is the difficulty of the raids 20 years later. The fact that the classes only really excel at one thing in PvE and PvP, is also up there on the list of potential problems. If you can heal, you're only good at healing - Only exception to this, is the Druid and Warrior, both of which can both Tank and, either DPS or Heal. All others are stuck doing just one thing: What their Tier-Sets assigns them to do. TBC fixes this, though.
    Would be nice to see some love for DPS hybrids and Warlocks, or having Hunters being more viable later on, DPS-wise. Warriors could potentially also use a scaling-nerf, to their DPS, to balance this out a bit.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I regret to score this a 10, partially because it has fallen so far from that. But when it came out it was a phenomenon. I had been playing Warcraft 2 and 3 for 5-8 years and the build-up to this game was unbelievable. It fulfilled every store and hope for what we could think up and exceeded it. There were other MMO's but since then I have never played much of an MMO, because it just does not compare. The classic remakes have been ruined by Blizzard, and they keep making good improvements on retail, while also killing the game slowly. It is for sure in my top ten, maybe top five games of all time even with all the cringe. Expand

    Anyone saying there isn't enough to do in this expansion has been the victim of WoW's past expansions programming them to expect mindless, daily chores instead of actual gameplay.

    There 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.

    The Warcraft universe spans across decades of lore building and this game is no exception to that. Any player will find themselves fully immersed into the World of Warcraft lore and the narrative you get experience first-hand as a player. It created the foundations of an exemplary MMO that set the golden standards for most other MMOs that came forward from it.

It created the foundations of an exemplary MMO that set the golden standards for most other MMOs that came forward from it.

    Whether you like Pets, Dungeons, Raids, PvP, Battlegrounds or more this game has pretty much every RPG aspect you would want. I removed a few points because I feel that World of Warcraft has lost its sense of identity in being a fun game to play - it often resorts to becoming a part-time job, which I feel a game should not be.

    Refining the loot systems in this game would make it a 10/10 for me, Legion was utterly amazing.

    I 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.

    I 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.

    Se tu gosta de um jogo que tem muito contéudo e vai te garantir muitas horas de diversão, esse é perfeito pra você.

    A progressão é fantastica, durante o leveling tu realmente sente que está evoluindo, ir atrás de profissões, aprender as habilidades, a possibilidade de upar com dungeons em vez de se obrigado a fazer a quest... tudo isso torna o jogo muito imersivo.
    Quando tu chega no nível máximo e pensa que acabou, tu descobre que ta só no começo, agora você vai se preparar pra raidar ou fazer pvp e na minha opinião essa é a hora que o jogo vai te prender de fato, se tu chegou no end game, dificilmente tu vai parar de jogar, uma prova disso é a maior parte da fanbase, a grande maioria dos jogadores não começaram recentemente, muito pelo contrário, estão há anos na franquia, pois tanto no pve com as raids quanto no pvp (instanciado ou world pvp) o jogo consegue te prender, esse é o momento que tu costuma a fazer mais amizades e isso torna o jogo ainda mais divertido.

    For those who don't mind a little reading: Buy this game. As you read all these reviews you will notice a striking trend: community is trash/toxic; Wrath of the Lich King was the last of WoW's Golden era; No major updates; game is dead etc etc. These comments have merit but they are spoken in absolutes which is simply exaggeration. I happen to find that MOST of the community is great and helpful but you do need to reach out to them. It is unfortunate that the "trolls" are the loudest but just because they are making the noise it does not mean they are the majority.

    Wrath of the Lich King was incredible but nostalgia has played a large role in the player base discrediting current content. We are incredibly passionate about our world, characters and lore. We are also very quick to lash out at something we don't agree with, as if the writers and developers are our puppets who should obey. I am not saying all is sunshine but it has been constantly updated. The game does need work. But the current amount of hours spent, have been well worth it. ALL of them. Here since 2005 and will be a while still.

Furthermore, the art-style and music are amazing. The game-play is so varied with 12 classes; if you get bored with one then simply switch it up, which is now easier than ever with the free level-cap boosts that Blizzard give away every expansion. While the quest system can be rather repetitive and grindy in a lot of the earlier content, since Warlords of Draenor, Blizzard have made massive progress in this area. Meanwhile, Dungeons and Raids, as well as PvP have always been exciting and varied. Overall, a truly revolutionary game which brought MMOs into the mainstream.

    Also playing with a friend, sibling, partner... Makes game just better.

    Great 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.

    Vanilla 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.

    Amazing, 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.

    Its most beautiful game on world!!! Maybe it was perfect in Vanilla, but, its still beautiful!!! Dont look only at game, look at that tiny details...that wave when friend comes online, that tauren's combing his ass etc... Look at PVP, its not to much skill, but, its complicated..every ability is important, every buff etc. In PVP, you have BGs(10v10, 15v15, 40v40), Arenas (2v2, 3v3, 5v5),Its most beautiful game on world!!!

    I 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.

    Great 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.

    I 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.

I have been a hard core pvper for 10 years! I play on 2 pvp servers and I've tried pvp on so many other games I can't count them all and I always come back to Warcraft. There is so much to do and so much content. If you don't like pvp that's ok, there is a decades worth of pve, over 16,000 quests, mount farming, professions, raiding, realm jumping. You can play with anyone who plays this game no matter where they are in the world or what server they are on. Even better, if you are a new player not only have all the bugs been fixed when you start playing the world is exponentially bigger than when I started. If you love story the story lines are amazing and so in depth and detailed. There are also books based on the game and discuss the story and lore. I personally have always found the expansions appealing. I know that goes against the internet trash talkers who unrealistically think that a company can please millions of people all at once. Maybe I'm just old and keep reality in perspective. I love this game and I will keep playing until I don't. Ten years and the love is still alive. I was upset when I saw that one of the most influential, most successful, longest lasting games ever made had a 93/100 score I was dumbfounded. Then I noticed Skyrim which I played has a 96 so scores are obviously out the window. World of Warcraft is easily 100/100 for me. For The Alliance!!! Expand

    This game has been a personal favorite since Orcs & Humans entered the field of vision. My uncle offered me the game and it was fairly brilliant.

My uncle offered me the game and it was fairly brilliant. My favorite level was the third in human campaign. When Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness had been released a friend of mine spent hours building each other levels to defeat. Needless to say, I've been a fan of Blizzard for a long time. The third although originally I found less interesting as it pieced itself together I became enamored with the lore, which lead me to buy the game.
    I started off tanking, which was simple in vanilla but rocked the house as it went on, after removing myself from tanking I played fury and did badass dps. In Wotlk I was listed in the top 13 of my server, where I had tons of fun and unfortunately for degrading social "economics" I have few friends left that I still talk to every day from this game, but the friends I made in this game have twice as much value as the people I have met in real life. Many people would call this a lack of life, but where they have supported me my own family has failed. Even if I have never met any of them the people I met during the Wotlk arc are some of the most valuable people I will ever meet. I am proud to have met them. Furthermore my subsequent involvements with this game and its functioning through my life are genuinely more faithful than some other people I have met in my life. Trolling aside, the connections I made and lost are invaluable, there is no other game I would rather spend playing during my time online. Especially since many are jokingly far worse, or at least until recently had a poorer social interaction. I guess that is my only complaint, the trolls took over gaming and the classic friendly player is no longer available because of being shut down and shying away from the public. Thanks for being a great game.

    It's like a second world, I like it :) and story is good too! (not many people even know this game has a story :P)

    and it's sad that there's no more pvp, they say it will be fixed with legion and I hope so pvp was amazing! so was pve.

    and I don't like how they've made it over violence, the wotlk was fine, and even mop was fine! I don't get why people all rage about it!

    And I don't like the fact that every women in the game is in bikini :| but otherwise! amazing game xD

    Besides, vanilla was definetely much better than current wow, it was more complex and you had to work your ass off if you wanted decent gear and the possibility of raiding in high level guilds.

    I see a lot of hatred on this game coming with every new expansion. For me personally it's one of the best times of the year, when I can dive into new stories. Even though, they can be a little more childish and naive, I still love all of them.

    Vanilla 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.

I played since cata so I can't really tell. Even though I tried a Wotlk private server and it was pretty cool, but anyways. All I gotta say to the people trying to get back into the game or just start playing for the first time is that is is very addictive but the thing is that you will make friends, you'll have fun, you'll have a huge sense of achievement (especially when you start lvl cap content) I personally managed to keep in touch with people who live hundreds of miles away from me! It wasn't like we were just talking to a phone, it's really like you have a person next to you. It's a second, more exciting and adventurous world!! I recommend it to everyone that likes rpgs and that kind of fantasy games. There is one problem though. You won't really have time to get into other games because World of Warcraft will take a lot of your free time. I hope you found this review helpful and if you are still not convinced about the game just get a free starter account and try leveling up a couple of characters to level 20! I promise you will not be disappointed! Expand

    I'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!)

    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.
