Summary

Game Description

See more videos ››

Only the biggest massively-multiplayer online RPG (that's an MMORPG to you) in existance. Only the mighty EverQuest franchise can claim similar success, though their latest entry--EverQuest II--has only a fraction of World of WarCraft's massive community. Set in the same universe as the critically acclaimed RTS series, World of Warcraft allows players to choose between the Alliance and the Horde, and offers a diverse range of classes including rogues, paladins, and hunters.

INFERIOR TO EVERQUEST 2!!!!

I just have to get this out because I do not understand how any WoW player would stick with WoW after trying Everquest 2, yes I have played WoW, I don't think it is terrible, it's a decent game, but it is in my opinion no contest compared to Everquest 2. Looking at the 2 games WoW looks much more aimed at younger audiences, and I think that seems the case all around.
Graphics-WoW takes a cartoony approach, silly looking animations, cutesy mounts ( no matter how fierce looking anyone thinks any of them are, I don't see it). WoW also is not nearly as detailed and crisp looking as Everquest 2.
Gameplay- I can see where the very casual player may be attracted to WoW, but the challenge of Everquest 2 is one of it's best points, especially if you are into raiding, and I mean challenging, must know what your doing and pay attention, and set up your raid right.
Classes- Everquest 2 has some classes similar to WoW but the way the abilities and such are set up makes for a much more challenging and involving game.
Anyone who likes WoW owes it to themselves to at least check out the free trial of Everquest 2, which also has a new expansion hitting in a few days. Here's a link to a recent post on the EQ2 forums from a DIE HARD WoW player, who recently played the beta of Everquest 2: The Shadow Odyssey, and has seen the light!

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay

Cheaper than drugs, but just as addictive

Playing this game for the first time is like awakening into a new world. The experience is like few others and the gameplay is a ton of fun if you enjoy RPG games. Sometimes having to run across the entire map to complete a small mission is tedious, but playing with a friend or group makes it all worthwhile.

I think the strongest point on this game is also its most annoying and that is the online gameplay. The entire game (for the most part) is based on playing and interacting with other folks online. This can be extremely fun or extremely painful depending on who your playing with. Regardless, it should not have an impact on the game's ranking (just like playing with noob-tubers on COD4 does not affect that game's score).

For as long as this title has been around and for all the great work they do to keep it competitive and interesting; I think this game is easily one of the greatest all time. I mean can 11+ million users/month be wrong?

WoW!

World of Warcraft is the best game I have ever played. One of its best features is that you can doanload a 10-day free trial, so if your willing to be a low level you don't have to buy the game or pay monthly. My personal favorite race is Tauren and my favorite class is Warrior. I am not able to play WoW because my parents won't let me download it onto their pc. But whwwn ever I go to my friend's house, I make a trial account and play there.

World of Warcraft

This game is the best game i have ever played in my life. You get to meet people from differnt states even countries. Yea the graphics could be better. One thing i wanted to do but couldnt was make ur own weapon and armor but instead u have to do quest and some times there isnt a reward but exp (experience points) that made me mad when i did the hardest quest i thougth anyway and all i got was 460exp that pissed me off but everything else was great so that is why i gave this game 4.75 out of 5
