    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.

    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, 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

    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

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

The game has evolved over the years with various expansions, adding new areas to explore, new races to play, and new challenges to conquer.

    World of Warcraft was a fantastic game. I played classic and I could tell just how amazing this game would have been back in the old days.

Its very hard to enjoy yourself in such an environment. WoW classic didnt do anything to address these things, but these problems were not a big issue when you had continuous growth and when there weren't leveling bots, optimization guides, and try hard communities just looking to grind content instantly.

    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.

    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.

    Do you really want your child learning about racism, hard drug use, sex from guild leaders who are telling junior or juniorette that these things are cool?

    This is what WoW has become and Blizzard (Frat Boys Inc.) takes no responsibility to protect your child from these creeps. Many of us have been asking for moderators for years now, but Blizzard is too cheap to spend the money. They've literally made billions of dollars off of their customers, but refuse to spend even a single cent to make the game a safe and fun environment for players of all ages.

    This 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.

    World of Warcraft, including the most recent Shadowlands expansion, is a 2004 game that is today's biggest example of an outdated game that is not underdeveloped for the amount of financial income gained by Activision Blizzard from it.

    Shadowlands does not do help much, as it is a similar experience to Legion - and while the score would have not been lower than 5/10 - the 0/10 comes for the price that comes with this game.

    74,99€ for the "Epic" version, which includes every digital extra & 30 days of game time; and 54,99€ for most of the diigtal extras alone & 39,99€ for the base game.

    I won't even start by saying that the middle & base editions don't have the 30 days of game time. I will rather conclude, that this game does not deserve to run a buy-to-play (single-time, bigger price) combined with a pay-to-play (monthly, subscription-based payments) model.
    No game deserves that. You either run B2P or P2P. (eg. RuneScape, Guild Wars 2, The Elder Scrolls Online, etc.).

    Verdict? Average game with over the top price tag for the quality provided and amount of content that does not feel repetitive (because killing 30 NPCs over and over, or doing a mediocre instance (dungeon or raid) over and over for items to be able to farm for more items is in my opinion not enjoyable to a sane, working person).

    If you're a new player considering this game, do yourself a favour and pick another title that's not a combined B2P+P2P hoax.
    Your invested time into this game will eventually end up made irrelevant as level cap is always raised +10 (or +5) & previous items are made obsolete, no matter how hard you've "farmed" for them. Endless grind for items with the pretty excuse of "achievement obtaining" for a continuous price out of proportions that mentally 'forces' you to play to justify the value of the purchase.    … Expand

I know that is Blizzard's thing, take a genre and streamline it retarded and give everything humanoid Chris Metzen style steroid gorilla build and massive shoulder pads. While the ladies might as well be a different species. At the same time a straight ripoff of Warhammer.

    But I figure, this game was so incredibly popular, and we might even know if it still was if Blizzard didn't hide the numbers are soon as they faltered. Hey but new friends are playing it, perhaps the game deserves the benefit of the doubt. Oh boy...

    Wouldn't it just make sense that Blizzard, taking the already gameplay bankrupt, skeevy, and monotonous MMO genre, would create something so completely basic, so utterly unchallenging, bafflingly bland and boring.

    I have no idea what is wrong with you people. This is becoming a theme in my life, but come on.
    I won't even speak anymore on gameplay. I shouldn't have to, why the f*** would I? It is absolutely a joke and condescendingly simple. I imagine you might eventually have, wow, hoo, an actual choice with regards to gear at some point, but up until then a child could figure this game out. Progression is one hundred percent linear, designed for SPEDs. Don't argue, because you're wrong.

    So then, the art design and overall graphical appearance is pretty much a blown up version of WC3's graphics. Even on the highest settings, in the year of our lord 2018, the textures are very low quality, many things are very cheaply done (flat, etc).

    I have honestly actually seen WC3 maps that ARE more visually stunning just emulating the over the shoulder cam in a sixteen year old, top down RTS game. And again, by the way, nothing unique. Wholesale robbed from Games Workshop. This is written history, Warcraft was going to be a Warhammer game, but the deal fell through. So they went ahead with just apparently changing the names, because you can't copyright goofy character design.

    This is baffling to me. All I can figure is that this is popular because of the accessibility of the gameplay, art and story. You don't have to try anywhere. And too, that somebody they knew was playing it. So a popularity contest for dumbells.

    I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. This was not a new experience for 2004. In the late 90s to early 00's I played MUCH, MUCH more engaging MUDs. I can't even begin to describe the main three here without going on a massive tangent. Rest assured the text based games were a hundred percent more open, customizable and interesting than WoW. Why is this relevant? Because there's a direct lineage, in fact they are essentially the same, just lacking graphics and usually UI. Strip that away, WoW, EQ, any early MMO is just the generic MUD gameplay that any good game in that genre strived to get away from. Only you don't have to type your special attacks.

    In 2002 NWN was released and the persistent worlds there offered a much better "MMO" experience for free, ranging from an intimate 8 to 10 players, to fifty constantly and as many vying to join, and all of them ready to interact with you, people still play on these (god help them).

    Anyway, the most popular and influential MMO is a giant pile of ****.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
