    I love this game. I been playing since BC. As of now It is too boring and way too easy. I liked it back in the day when the game was challenging and it took your 3 or 5 months to get max lvl but still have lots to do afterwards. Wish this game would go back to the basics. I still love it but I miss the old style.

    If you can't afford $15 US a month on gaming. Then you really shouldn't be gaming to begin with.

I'm not earning above average wage, in fact I'm earning below average, however I've decided to stick with WoW as my entertainment and I did not need a TV subscription. WoW is not just a regular game, it is an entire new world with such a grown mature community. Yes there are a few trolls here and there in WoW but it is handled so well, just a simple "mute this person" and move on with your life. I've been playing since launch and only had to encounter a few losers that I simply just muted+reported and never heard of again. Not to mention with all the money being sent to WoW, they use it wisely ! They create expansion after expansion, idea after idea, yes a lot of people weren't happy with the MoP expansion, so the they took in count of all the ideas people had and based it in the newest expansion. WoW is just a magnificant game, its too much to write about...    … Expand

    While the game is the MMO with the largest player base, does it really deserve it? I mean seriously Blizzard, we already bought the game, why would we have to pay every month to play it.

You can't put a price on entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this game is entertaining, let's be honest, it isn't. I mean it's fun for a while, then it gets super repetitive. 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

    When i played it i was not hooked. BUT that is probably because i adapt to controls really easily and don't really care for story. This game was really good for the short time i could play it. i stopped playing as charterers really fast so i would not get bored of 1 type and waste my time even have downloading the game. I give this a 9001/10. lol

    The game has undead and blood, so it's not part of what I would expect from an MMO.

    some say that it's unfair to rate a game if you haven't played it. and there's there other camp that begs to differ. the problem many people have with this game (it's not just me, read a few posts) is that there's no support. if you can't log in, there's no support. if you call tech support (800-592-5499), you'll get a message to open a support ticket, then they hang up. they don'tsome say that it's unfair to rate a game if you haven't played it. and there's there other camp that begs to differ. the problem many people have with this game (it's not just me, read a few posts) is that there's no support. if you can't log in, there's no support. if you call tech support (800-592-5499), you'll get a message to open a support ticket, then they hang up. they don't need your business. they don't care if you can't log in. they could care less. if you can't log in, you can't open a ticket. sometimes, even if you have a valid account, the ticketing system doesn't work. you can't log in, no support = 0 rating. game ratings go beyond gameplay. it includes some form of support, and you will get none with blizzard. in the old days, blizzard was an awesome company with excellent support. i guess they made enough money to be able to say f~@# off. we don't care if you can't play; that's your problem

    I stopped playing WoW after seven pretty good years. Chief among the reasons I pulled the plug was Blizzard's seemingly blase attitude about keeping a game presumably meant for late preteen young to Depends-aged codgers out of the NSFW category that its public chat, regrettably, does.

It's getting worse. Blocking is simple, but tolerance on the game's end of daily unending discussions about scat, incest, and even child abuse by some really lowbrow, nasty folk cause me to urge a very VERY strong Caveat Emptor. Blizz could fix this simply by employing random active monitors and the imposition of suitable sanctions (or something, ANYTHING, else). It's a shame, but I do not see this ever being fixed beyond "Don't like what ya see? Then block 'em." facile mentality. The guttersnipes win.… Expand

    Do you really think Putin is playing your games? Or that bringing innocent children and teenagers to psychological trauma or suicide will help the stop war?

    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.
