World of Warcraft: the first game that lasts forever without getting too boring.
You have a choice between 8 classes. Paladin, Priest, Warlock, Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Shaman, and Druid. Instead of explaining what each classes abilities are, allow me to explain their pasts. This should give you a better idea of what they can do. Paladin is considered to be a disciple of holy light. They heal, melee, and are able to provide themselves with special aura's to enhance themselves and blessings on themselves and opponents. Most Priests are healing, but they have a damage class known as Shadow. The name "Priest" should be self explanatory when I say it. Warlocks are the essence of demonic mastery. They are considered to be evil and heartless. Warlocks are pretty reliant on their pets unless they are full destruction spec, which basically turns them into a fire mage. The Warrior is the tough class. Warriors are allowed to use all types of armor and are based for damage or tanking (Which is the ability to hold enemies onto them for hits because tanks tend to have more health and armor then other player, but sometimes do less damage). They require no standards of mana or anything that requires regeneration except health. They rely completely on "rage" which builds up as the warrior attacks or gets attacked. They use rage to do special abilities. Rogues in my opinion are the easiest class when it comes to PvP (Player versus Player). Rogues are also the hardest to level. The ability of the Rogue is simple. Stealth, stun the enemy, hit them a lot, stun them again, hit them more, blind them, they die. That's the basic concept of the rogue. They're particularly good against Warlocks, Mages, and sometimes Shaman. Mages are the magic class of the game. They shoot fireballs and frostbolts and have all kinds of magical tricks. If the Mage runs out of mana though, they don't have many other options. The Mage can however do many abilities such as polymorph the enemy causing them to turn into an animal unable to attack unless attacked first. Shaman are the nature class of the game. They shoot lightning bolts and have all sorts of special abilities. The primary function of the shaman is an equal combination of all classes in World of Warcraft (excluding the druid and warlock) without making it too powerful. The Druid is another type of nature class. The Druid can form into different animals such as a cat (attacks fast), bear (a lot of health), aqua (swims fast), and flight (flying). There is also travel form which isn't used much after level 40. Travel form increases speed by 30%.
A lot of good things can be said about this game. The main thing is that you're able to stay interested if you don't mind paying $15 a month and know people who can help lead you through. Without, you'll need add-ons to keep the game interesting for yourself.
These are a few things you may want to know about World of Warcraft.
Classifications of classes:
DPS or Damage per Second (Provides all the firepower): All Mages, Warlocks, and Rogues. Some Shaman, Druid, Priest.
Healer (Makes sure everyone stays alive): Most Paladins, Priests. Some Druids, Shaman.
Tank (Holds the aggravation): Most Warriors, Paladins. Some Druids.
So if you pick a Priest, you may be asked to heal the tank so he doesn't die. The tank holds the damage.
So the game is an overall mathematical equation. It's extremely fun, but once you are level 70 you may not have the same urges to play as you did before. You might want to wait for a future expansion, knowing your gear will become out of date soon if you get too far into it. The game is also lowered by its lower quality graphics for its time and the fact there is no offline mode.
World of Warcraft is worth a try for anyone.
