Wow is a fun game if your 12 years old.The graphics are to cartoonish,game play to easy.Plus the main reason i don't like WOW is that the players are rude and obnoxious.Final Fantasy XI is a much better game with more story and variety that WOW could never have.I played WOW for 2 hours on friends account and fell asleep right away. WOW = BORING!!!
Another thing about is that your stuck with one job too!! ;; At least in Final Fantasy XI you have a subjob that helps alot and one character has access to more then 15 jobs as well as keeping all your rank points and everything! WOW sucks!!! NUFF SAID!!!!!

This game is pure garbage until from start to finish. While the game is easy enough for anyone to play (including people that aren't 13+ years of age as the game suggests). The cartoony graphics are fun to look at and the weird little dances the avatars do are amusing to watch, but why should that really matter. I've played lots of video games and have better features to rate on a game on than cheap graphics and ease of play. To start off my complaints I'll mention this game is extremely buggy. Bugged mobs and quests scattered all over the place, and every time they patch it they create 50 more bugs to patch the next time around. I feel so sorry for the people that gave good reviews to this game, because I have no doubt in my mind they are already addicted to this game. Hell, almost everyone on campus I know that plays this game isn't satisfied with a few leisure hours of game play. Most or them play this game for hours each night to level their character to 60 (70 if you have the expansion). I should know I went through the same thing and it was fun at first because my friends helped me learn how to play this game, but in my two years of playing this game I have learned its nothing but a bunch of lil 15 year old kids and immature adults doing but ripping on each other all night. Every single time I played this game I would hear the word newb about 50 times as after all that seems to be an elite WoWer's worst fear. Don't be fooled the word "newb" in this game has nothing to do wiht being but is a lame term everyone uses on each other in an attempt to insult each other's intelligence and you'll hear it every time you ask a simple question about the game when you're signed in. This is in addition to numerous racial comments and other forms of language and abuse of the policies that either don't get dealt with by the GMs or never get reported. Believe me, I've tried reporting as much harrassment as I can about this game but when it takes an average 4 hours to get a response for a single abusive player its hardly worth it. Once I hit max level I did get into raiding which took me an entire night and on rare occasions longer, but I never really got much of anything out of it. After all the time I've wasted playing this game and taking abuse from unruly players I only wish I could get my time back blizzard --- think I could get a refund? People, I know it seems like internet is the future of just about everything here but really there are so much better ways than this game to entertain yourself. Play basketball or a fun nintendo game with your friends, but don't join the bandwagon of teh 10,000,000 walking zombies that devote their life only to bettering their characters til the next expansion of this game. Its not worth it.

My friends had played this game for a month or so, and I finally gave in. So there I am, a tiny little level one without the slightest idea as to what the hell I was supposed to do. Luckily, the beginning levels do a good job of teaching you how to play the game and at the same time make you feel important to the workings of the world. That's part of what makes this game so great, you feel like an important hero, but at the same time know you're not the only one out there. In fact, the farther you advance in the game, the more you start to work with those other people, making you feel more and more like a soldier or drone than a hero, which kind of took away from the fun of the game for me. Also, the world and scenery are perfect. Its familiar enough for you to relate to it and make it believable, but different enough to make you feel like you're in a whole new fantastic world. They also give you enough rewards along the way to keep you leveling to 60, like my favorite, the mounts. i had an awesome raptor for my troll. Once you hit level 60 your journey is far from over, there is PvP, raiding, professions and more. So there is something there for just about everyone, although I did a little of everything. I give you one warning, if you plan to get to 60 and make something of yourself like become high warlord or down Nefarion, prepare to take the time out of your social life. This game had a lot of heart put into its development and it shows, there's just some kind of magic to the game.

Interesting game at certain levels. At low levels this game can be very fun. lots of people and easier leveling make it very entertaining. And then it stops... there is a pretty large gap in people and grouping from the low levels about 30ish until your level 70. The game has become a solo grind until you get 70 because a majority of the game content is written for level 70 or is so outdated that its not useful or even possible to get people to explore the content on most occasions. Once a character reaches level 70 it is pretty much a requirement for a person to devote themselves to either pvp which then is mostly a solo act again unless you happen to find an active pvp guild which can be very challenging and on a whole is a very limited experience. pvp requires that you grind for the gear that make a character able to compete with other characters. very little of the pvp system relies on a players skill. The other major option is to engage in PVE which the player can experiance a wide range of content. this can be a very interesting way to explore wow though once again very quickly it becomes a limited venue do to the social demands of guilding and gear that are required to continue to explore the content. Months can be spent to gain a new item that is only marginally better than a previous one and one that could be replaced in days if a player was willing to devote their free time and suffer the whims of a higher ranked guild.

All for all.. if your a new player expect at least a couple of months of solo grinding to get your character to a point that you will be even socially eligible to be able to enjoy the majority of the content of the game. If your willing to do that the game can be very fun.
