    I love WoW, and I find it kind of sad that pretty much everyone hates it. Sure, the payments are high and the leveling is painful, but that doesn't take much out of the actual game, for anyone who's actually tried it. But I really think they're making too much expansions. And they gradually went down hill on MoP. Cata and WotLK were the best imo.

    World of Warcraft fue un buen juego para mi, en lo personal juegue 6 años y fue bastante divertido, luego de Cata deje de pagar la suscripción porque ya no me gustaba lo que veía, le doy un 6 porque todos estos años de diversión fueron buenos, pero ahora blizzard solo saca dinero por tonterías.

    Surely one of the best games of all time, especially its first, vanilla version, before they got acquired by Activision and dumbed everything down. At least you can still play it in its original 1.12 state on some private servers..

    The original World Of Warcraft was everything players who loved the universe wanted it to be, sticking to the lore and feeling of the massively popular Warcraft III. A true test of skill and patience for all those who played. Sadly each expansion has "Casualized" this now to its current product.

    This rating is based on the original vanilla version.

    WoW is a good game. Some of the quests are very boring however, nothing like the epic quests seen in Runescape. WoW also lacks the character development i expect in a MMORPG unlike Runescape which has great character development. Overall forget WoW just play Runescape!

    There are a lot of people who consider the original WoW, the "Vanilla" as they call it the pinnacle of MMOs. Too much nostalgia i guess. For lots of players it was their first MMO.

It had PVP also. Game was not bad as i said, but i left it after a few months. Main reasons being: Class skills were watered down -compared to EQs-, graphics were too cartoony for my taste and last but not least, community -on average- was far below EQs standards. And in MMOs community is the most important factor. So, no the game was not perfect, but still it was a good MMO.… Expand

    World of Warcraft is hands down one of the best, if not the best RPG out there.
    Blizzard has definitely done a lot to this game and it has a gameplay to account for it.
    I and my friends will continue playing this game for a long, long time.

    Hmm....Considering it says just "World of Warcraft", I'm wondering if I should review what the game was, or what it is now. I suppose I will touch into both a little.

    Vanilla WoW was one of the best games ever developed. It has turned into one of the most boring and lifeless MMOs you can find. The 40 man raids, the challenge, and the interactivity with other players was a huge plus, but    Hmm....Considering it says just "World of Warcraft", I'm wondering if I should review what the game was, or what it is now.

    The game is worth $15 a month, and, frankly, back in the day, it might have been worth it. However, at this point, you're paying for a game that is heavily struggling to stay afloat and has become a lifeless bore that is somehow very addicting.

    Don't buy it. I've played the game for years, and I have hated what it has become. If you're looking for a Blizzard title, buy Diablo 2 instead. Way cheaper as well.    … Expand

To be honest Candy Crush Saga, and it is the same story with ANY subscription fee game. The vanilla game should be completely free, the only things you should have to pay for is the DLC, as it makes perfect sense to give players an opportunity for a new challenge. The only problem with this game is the vanilla subscription fee, but that is a VERY BIG problem, it is also the main cause of hackers in this game.

The soundtrack is beautiful piece of art that makes you feel every piece of this virtual world as if it was real. The visuals... it's a mind-blowing. The graphic artists done a lot of great work. You will be surprised many times during your travel how talented are the people who made this. Every location has it's own story and you starting to believe in it. The storyline also great. For all those priceless moments I got in this game I give 8 score. I can't give it 10 points because of it's gameplay. Many hours will be wasted on grinding, especially on high levels. I don't like the concept of instances that ruins the integrity of the world. I don't like the casual PVP, you can't lose your items so you don't feel much adrenaline in combats. The character inventory is boring. The world could be more interactive.    … Expand

    First of all, WoW is always FUN! No matter how many time you spend and which sides of game you prefer.

    Second, from the very beggining, unlike most Korean MMOs, developers tend to limit your timespending by limiting maximum quantity of top tier dungeons and raids you can visit per day or per week, respectively, and doing about the same in PvP (limiting the number of top tier badges you can acquire per week). Ofcourse people who strive to play more go into grinding, gathering, crafting, trading or runmultiple characters. Please, don't spend your life playing videogames!
    Third, Blizzard is constanly adding something new to the game. While back then in 2000's it required to reach max level, indeed, to have really enjoy the game, now some many possibilities are added that you may enjoy the game from level 10, literally. While leveling also became much faster. It became possible to reach level 40 in one day without a severe grinding. Even faster if your acdcount is reffered to friend, and you get leveling boost.

    Fourth, it becomes really repetitive only in two occasions: 1) you agree for it yourself, usually it refers to cases when you are grinding reputation for some exotic mounts, usually takes between two weeks and one month and is never obligatory; 2) you are striving to be top tier in PvE, but when you reach such ambitions you are most likely to integrate into community that much, that repeatedness won't be a severe burden.
    Of course, game will require time, but there is no MMO, which fits those who want to spend couple of hours once per week.

    Fifth, you will be astounded, how reach the RP and LORE part is, now rich the story of Azeroth and neighbouring world is and outdated, little grotesque, graphics doesn't prevent enjoying the atmosphere. When you feel yourself a true hero of Azeroth, which is imposied by long questlines, it is difficult to compare with anything. You'll be wishing to come back again and again, and then you will have a feeling of nostalgy about the game.

    And the last but not the least, what really happened to the game over almost a decade? It became much easier, what many old-school WoWers (incl. myself) found frustrating, but for new players that must be good news!

    Thank you for spending your time reading my review, I hope I have helped you to form your own opinion concerning the game.

    P.S.: I quit WoW in the late 2011, due to some circumstances, but I really miss the game and often think of returning back to it.    … Expand

I honestly don't know how people can pay tens of euros/dollars each month for just PvP and maybe some raids. One of the most overrated games ever, the only reason I'm giving it a 6/10 is because of the PvP, which is(was) fantastic, unfortunately besides murdering Arthas, they also murdered any fun players with rogues could have had, even on PvP servers, by making infiltration in enemy capitals useless and with 0 fun had, thanks to the whining of players and the stupidity of the developers.… Expand

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

The game allows for a lot of time yes it is addictive to some, this is good if you do not enjoy outdoor activities the SUN or simply loathe actual human interaction. It is a huge TIME SINK, you will grow out of it and wonder what the hell happened to the last X amount of years. The game has indeed been "dumbed" down. Is it for a new generation of player, or profits? who knows fact is if your shaking your head yes you have grown out of it and are probably going to work or to change the babies diaper, get over it ! The game is not for us anymore. With all of that said I made many friendships that I still have years after I quit the game, why am i reading reviews ?…Think of it as that jerk from High school you hated …probably looked them up on Facebook didn't you? The biggest con i can say about WoW is they took a lot of the human interaction out of the game…you no longer need to stand for hours in your capital city and ask for groups…you simply click a button and go along your merry way until a loud noise scares the crap out of you to tell you your group is ready and your whisped away to fight moderately annoying monsters …cause everyone is like Uber leetsauce now and like can solo hogger , the game has been around for 12 years or so. Take it with a grain of salt you can play for free up to level 20 nothing lost well you will have to install and uninstall (which takes anywhere from 8 hours to a week depending your internet speed) …once again ITS ALL ABOUT TIME how much are you willing to waste?… Expand

    Game has gone down the drain since its inception ranging from Blizzard people NOT going after those breaking their code of conduct. I constantly see people selling crap in the Trade Channel (lvl 10 selling Mythic runs and it is a scam) and Pre-Made Groups...but nothing happens to them! Mega waste of time and money.

    If I could give this game negative stars, I honestly would because of how down the drain everything about this game has become.    … Expand

    World of Warcraft has truly been, is, and will continue to be an absolute phenomenon. Its captivating narrative, immersive universe, and stellar gameplay have stood the test of time.

    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. No other MMORPG has truly captured my first experience in Azeroth. You can play "Classic" WoW right now and even though it doesn't have a lot of the convenient featuresThe original version of World of Warcraft was an absolute masterpiece.

    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!!!

    Extremely addictive.
    Can't wait for PS5 version.
    I'd even buy an X-Box to play.

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

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

    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.
