Bottom line this is a great game. for those other posts that say it is broken with no end in sight....yes there are other people out there that agree with you, but they are haters as well...they are the normal mmo surfers. they will play lord of the rings online, everquest, tabularasa, age of conan and warhammer online and never truly be anygood at there charecter...now the common argument is "well i have # of 70's" well the reason for that is they got into a good guild that took them under there wing thinking they where gonna be a legitament addition then they just up and quit after they leeched other peoples help. they complain that there is no customer service because they dont respond to messages and the game is getting to easy...for one every post i have put in has been responded to within the hour and the game is getting "easy" because they are listening to people. the majority of people like to actually quest not run around in circles for 3 hours trying to find the guy they got the quest from thats why they light up, its not making the game easier...its making it more user freindly thats all, bottom line people dont listen to the haters out there...judge for yourself get the plain jane origanal and buy a prepaid card and see...

I used to play almost exclusively on Xbox 360 only using my cpu for surfing, documents, and the occasional trist in the world of Sid Meier's Civilizations. Over my Christams-New Years break I was introduced to this game by some friends I was visiting. The Xbox is now in a closet, the PC hooked up to the LCD TV, and I am hooked.

Since I started playing I have noticed a few things that people may want to consider before buying the product.
1) It is extremely beneficial to buy guides of some sort, so once you decide that you're going to play this game prepare for another layout of some bucks and also I recommend having a computer that can flip between windows as you may want to consult a website to help you get through some of the tougher quests.
2) If you like the game and can see yourself playing it for at least 6 months at a time go for the longer time option. 6 months at (I believe) $77 or so.
3) Most of the people on here seem to talk about PVP only servers where you are always flagged for PVP. There are also PVE servers where you can enable and disable PVP meaning you can quest without higher level players jumping you and basically play against the environment (although much of the really good equipment is only available through earning it in pvp arenas or battlegrounds).

4) The game is very addicting and time consuming. My highest charachter is at level 65 and I have already invested 12 days (288 hours) of time into building him (there are guides available that show you how to level faster, power level, but I really enjoy taking the game at my own pace.

5) The game can be soloed completely, and can also be run entirely with groups, although I've found that its best to have a mix of both.

6) Create more than 1 toon (charachter) at a time. If you dont touch use a charachter for some time they become rested and gain double exp for kills. This is an easy way to gain levels fast.

7) The game can be played out of the box with content dl only from Blizzard, but it is very beneficial to dl some third party addons. Many of these are easy to install, and have been used by millions with no problems, just check around before you dl something.

8) If Tuesday is you're main day for playing games don't buy. The servers are down most Tuesdays (sometimes for a short period, but they have been down till 3 or 4 eastern since I've started playing).


All in all WOW may be the most addicting game I have ever played. I have been mostly a PVP FPS player on consoles, but the depth of the game, the differing environments, the storyline, the RPG experience, and diversity of each charachter, along with all the added capabilities that the world of warcraft site and third party sites offer is incredible. For any gamer who likes RPG's that are realxing for the most part, but can be insanely intense during boss battles and PVP fighting. This game is definitely one of the best you'll buy. For those who consider money an issue.... if you buy one game a month that is more than the monthly fee for this game, and you probably won't want to buy many if any games (money saved). For those who don't consider money and issue, there are many other things you can purchase to enhace the experience and help you to level more efficiently. This game truly has something for everyone and is worth every dollar spent.

PS you can get a free trial and if you know someone who already has the game you can save them some money (get them to send you an email and they get a month for free if you pay for three months).

This game is fun for the first three or four characters you make, but the quests tend to get quite repetitive, and some are obscenely annoying... You may have a quest in a new zone, you head there to finish it only to run into mobs 2-3 levels higher that you that like to gang on you and kill you near-instantly. It's a good game but... Some things can be improved. Won't stop me from playing though. ;D
