What’s WoW?
World of Warcraft
This game without a doubt, might be one of the most known and most played games to ever be created. I ventured into this game towards the end of 2008 and kept without it off/on for about a year. I immediately enjoyed the community with guilds, the leveling system, Achievment points, and the class/race selection. It was an immediate favorite for me, which explains why currently 12million worldwide play this game.
The Upside
Great game, very in depth lore with books, great graphics… That being said, I would easily make this one of my personal favorite games. I enjoyed the competition in the game, and loved the community on my realm. I liked the fact you could key bind moves to anything on your keyboard and I also enjoyed how addons can be used to help better oneself’s ability to do better.
The Downside
The downside is the prices that you have to spend and the amount of memory the game itself takes. After you spend around 60-70 dollars on all the expansions and the original game, you have to turn around and pay 15 dollars a month. (First month free) This was quite an issue for me because I was not always willing to dish out for it. So now that you have the game, you get to wait while around 2 gigs downloads onto your computer from the game.
The Final Grade
A for graphics and gamplay, B- for the community (can become annoying)
D- for money spent
This game is well worth it if you do not mind waiting most of your first day to download, or if your rich enough to afford a months subscription. Also as a “beware” sign, people on the realms that you play on can be very explicit towards yourself or others.
