Review: World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft steals souls! I swear this game I played it for 4 years and recently quit in august 09 and still I'm tempted every so often to resub to it...
Especially now with the new expansion coming...

World of Warcraft is another MMO (I seem to spend alot of my time playing these nowdays) that's a pay to play subscription based game. The plot basically is of 2 waring factions: The Alliance which is made of Humans, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Night Elves, Draenei and soon Worgens with the new expansions. The second faction is called The Horde and is made up of the Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, Forsaken, Blood Elves and with the next expansion Goblins. Basically the two factions dislike eachother but have to deal with outside forces trying to destroy them both while still being at odd with eachother.

Well let's talk about my experience within the game. I had several characters in this game but I'm just going to talk about one character I played.

He was one of my favourites Magicka the Forsaken Priest. When I made him I was amused by the thought of a healing priest that couldn't even heal his own jawbone back on. This character was my main til the point just before the expansion Wrath of the Lich King came out so he was decked out in Season 2-3 gear (yeah I wasn't exactly the top when it came to arena games but what can you do?)

Yeah so I spent most of my time PvPing in this game. That basically means playing against other people around the world as opposed to co-operating with them through the dungeons. I did actually do the PvE content but lets just say I'm even worse at it than the PvPing. I could tell stories about mishaps I've had while raiding or getting lost while just trying to level up.


Part of the appeal for this game was definatly the social interaction with people who played. I spent most of my time with a group of Irish players, a Romanian and a Croatian most of who I still stay in contact with today. In between playing arenas and battle grounds we spent our time chasing down Alliance attacks and trying to find exploits to get into areas of the game we shouldn't of.


All in all I had real fun with the game. The graphics are getting a bit dated since the game is getting about 5 years old now however it's still a solid base that's still being improved upon today. Alot of MMO's that have come out since are usually mesured up against them which is both a good and bad thing seeing as it can hinder new releases that are being compared to.
