    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 original version of World of Warcraft was an absolute masterpiece. While there are certainly things that the expansions did to improve on (and sometimes hurt) the game, World of Warcraft is the face of the MMORPG genre.

    Vanilla wow still the best game ever made. None of the expansions come close to the brilliance of the Vanilla and original version.

    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.    … Expand

    В далекие времена выдалось поиграть в классику, которая была невероятно тяжелая, однако возымела огромное впечатление (ну ещё и не тянула нормально). Впечатление это до сих пор со мной и заставляет порой запускать WOW той или иной версии дабы насладиться ностальгией.В далекие времена выдалось поиграть в классику, которая была невероятно тяжелая, однако возымела огромное впечатление (ну ещё и не тянула нормально).

    Vanilla 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.

    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

    Simply 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.

    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. Imagine that, gameplay in a video game! There's so much to do, with so much variety, from traditional WoW reputation grinds to mountain climbing to exploration events, rare mobs to farm, dungeons to do, andAnyone 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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    Well, 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 =)

    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.
