Great game. Pretty areas and great looking graphics. Questing becomes tedious.
For me, the questing in WoW is great in the beginning, but after 10 levels, I become bored and I want to look for a party and do nothing but kill mobs. No more quests, please!
But that's not going to happen in WoW, this is a quest based game. I love the areas and scenary, the graphics are great, and everything is so attractive.
In FFXi, you are forced to party up with other players in order to advance in the game. In WoW, all you have to do is quest, and not every quest requires you to be in a party. This is where I lose interest in the game. I like being social and talking to other players, doing important quests or missions that will give me rank or important items.
Not being able to switch jobs/classes in WoW is the number one problem I found in this game. I like being given the freedom of changing my job whenever I want, without losing all the progress by having to start a new character.
The crafting in WoW is great, I like it a lot compared to FFXi's crafting system. In WoW, I can get my craft skill maxed in a day or two at an affordable price. In FFXi, it takes upwards to a couple months to max a craft skill, and millions of gil. But, in WoW you can only master two crafting skills or professions. In FFXi, you can have all crafts, without limitations.
At fifteen dollars a month, I feel this is a little spendy. Granted, you can have up to eight characters on your account, whereas FFXi you have to pay an extra dollar for each additional character. But still, what do I need EIGHT characters for?
There are many aspects of WoW that are great, especially the graphics and environments. But the questing is tedious, and it IS enough to make me quit playing the game. I recommend this game for a serious gamer who enjoys questing. If you're like me and you like to hack up monsters, try something else.
