Why do so many people play this game?
gameplay
Very addicting, but the quests are recycled making gameplay very boring. Enemies give you barley any xp making quests the only real way to get xp and level up fast. So the gameplay pretty much comes down to just doing a ton of recycled quests, that are just plain boring. And even though they put a ton of things to do in the game like fishing, cooking and things like that, a lot of these things have the same animation.
graphics
For the time the game came out they wernt that bad the cartoony look is actually a good one for wow in my opinion.
sound
A lot of the sounds are recycled which is very annoying hearing the same sound over and over again even though your doing different things. The background music when you go to some places is pretty good though.
value
paying for the game and paying monthly is deffiently not worth it. really if your going to charge people $20 a month canadian to play this game then at least don't use recycled sounds and quests. and make a better combat system.
