They know how to make their money...
It is a massive environment full of quests and enjoyment, and it can be quite funny at times, especially the Scottish dwarves! There are many creatures to battle, and things to buy, there is so much i simply cannot fit it into the one review!!! The downside of all of this is once you have done all of it, that's it, nothing else left to explore, nothing more to do, nothing to discover, all of that invested £8 a month down the drain.
The character you can create at the beginning is a pretty cool idea, especially as there are two sides, good and evil. Evil have all of the ugly monstrous things like orcs and trolls, whereas the good have all of the human type creatures like humans and dwarves. the downside to this is that if you want a name, do it fast or else someone else may nab it before you, remember that there are over 8 million people playing this game so someone is going to have something like bobbybob which is really annoying as there are hardly any names to go around. No name means no play.
The thing that really really annoys me is that there is never enough time to do anything. Most of my time is spent slowly stumbling to another part of the world to which my next quest lies, but by the time I get there, my 3 hours is up! The WORLD of Warcraft is simply Enormous!!!
After a while of playing the game, it can become quite addictive. If you have seen South Park, that explains the whole thing, but if not, let me tell you this: it can be quite depressing. After hours on end of the same repetitive thing, killing, gathering, making as little gold as you can... it's just not worth it in the end. My advice would be to play another less renowned game like runescape or guildwars... or even Warhammer Online.
This game will consume your life in moments.
