INFERIOR TO EVERQUEST 2!!!!

Pros Cons
Tight controls Ugly visuals
Braindead computer AI

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!

Cheaper than drugs, but just as addictive

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay
Fantastic multiplayer
Loads of content

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

What can be said now that hasn't already been said about this game?

I never thought I would play this game. I figured it was too addictive and I would get sucked in to it. Plus I don't have high speed internet, so I never got it. But a friend of mine bought an account for me and lets me play it over at his house. Last time we spent about 10 hours grinding trying to get me to level 20. I gave up at level 13. (He just called and told me he got me to just below lvl 20.)

It's a game with countless things to do. From starting your first quest to PvP to farming and grinding to exploring both continents. The different races offer enough variety and professions to keep someone entertained and practicing for quite a while. The secondary proffesions can be changed so if you get tired of mining, you can switch to skinning. Of course there's always the classic "Leveling up so I can gank suckers walking along the roads." But that's not a profession, that's just there to tick people off and ive you a good laugh.
If you ever do get bored with the game, there's always enough propoganda and jokes going around the internet to keep you entertained. There's also a countless number of mods on the internet (some of which are not kosher) that can level you up or give you directions or keep track of your health more closely.

I never thought I would see hand-painted-like graphics in a game. The look of the trees and the buildings are something to pay attention to. The rate at which the locales change is quite rapid, so you may never get bored of traveling around. The races, of course, differ from each other. You can either choose your favorite-looking one, or the one that you think will work best for you. The various things that take place in this game are also remarkable. From the crabs scuttling on the shores to the boars walking in the forest.

The sound is something I never paid attention to. When I was at a friend's house we just listened to music. So I can't really comment on something I haven't heard. But what I did hear was at least some good voice acting, mainly from the /silly and /flirt commands.

This game will not keep you entertained for days, it will for years. There's always something to do. Trade in your social life for a video game.

World of Awesome

WOW is a huge online game created by Blizzard. Millions of people play this game every day to chat with friends and do quests. As most online RPG games you need to pay a monthly fee, for WOW it's $15 but most people don't seem to mind. With levels going from 1-60 (or 70 if you have a BC expansion, review coming soon) giving players a months of gameplay, doing quests, killing things, getting cool items and more but trust me it will take a long time to get powerful in this game ;) So overall it's a great online RPG, but only if you wanna pay $15 a month :)

Breathtaking

World of Warcraft is like many of the games that came before it, but it is also so much more. The basics are all here, such as fighting dangerous creatures and other players, various quests, gaining experience levels and new abilities, and getting powerful equipment and weapons. WoW is in a league of its own. The game design issues that plagued other MMORPGs are handled extremely well here. In addition, the games own innovations turn out to have a dramatic impact on the flow of the action from minute to minute. The finer points of the games design gives players a new experience that seems fresh and original.
