When you first start playing the game the controls are diffucult but easy to learn in about a few days. The quest are fun to do and you meet fun people on the game.
There are a lot of websites that help with quest if you dont know where to go. You have or 30 spells once turned lv 60 which consist or pretty good graphics.
World of Warcraft consist The orginal ,Burning Crusade,and The Lich King. There are the Horde and Alliance which you pick from with you class and race you can pvp (player vs player) if there not part whichever you picked(Horde or Alliance).
You should buy this game whether 9 or 50 when you want to burn off stress just log on and talk with your guild or friends. There are over 20 realms of gameplay.
It's very addicting when you start off and the areas are massive filled with over 8 MILLION people playing you can quest with players that you meet and add them to friends or ignore people that are bothering you.
Blizzard did make patches to help the leveling process, but this game takes a lot of your time.Maybe I'm just getting old. Great game when it first came out. Very addicting, played it until my real life suffered.Took some time off, came back, still fun.But with the two expansions out, it's taking more and more time to reach end-level.
My computer often tells me I am unable to for various reasons, which can get pretty frustrating.4 PROS + 4 CONS= 3 stars Sometimes I have a hard time downloading these patches. WOW (world of warcraft) deserves 3 stars. The short and sweet run-down:PROS:1)Beautiful scenery with lots of little details2)Easy to learn, but complicated enough (as in many different approaches to playing it) to give you plenty to do while playing3)Lots of playability--can basically play it forever4)No bugs (at least not for me)CONS:1)Takes forever to load (I mean hours)2)Monthly fee3)Tuesday is the day Blizzard updates/fixes the game, and they aren't quick about it.4)Constantly downloading patches, which you need to play.
Dungeons and heroics are typically conquered by five players effectively working together to defeat the obstacles and creatures within. By the time you've purchased the original game and the two expansion packs, you're out $100+, which doesn't include subscription fees. When you first launch the game, you are met with a symphony of heart-pounding drums, violins, bassoons, or what-have-you. You will continue advancing your character by upgrading his or her equipment (or "gear").
It is in this device that you can limit your playtime to a healthy and sustainable amount.I hope this was helpful. Also with the introduction of "dual-spec," a character is able to switch between two customizable talent builds (determines your main role: healing/tanking/dps, through the selection certain talents) at the drop of a hat.The most basic gameplay consists of leveling your character from 1 to 80 via the completion of quests, invading of dungeons, and slaying of monsters, all of which grant "experience," and move you closer to the next level. Some might find themselves in "good shape," with only a couple hours of play time. Once you log into World of Warcraft, you truly plug into a hidden universe.The music is truly worthy of mention. If you do, wonderful, then this is the game for you, and I hope you enjoy your experience.
You're paying for the new content which is released almost every two months, the server maintenance, and in-game customer support. Within the account creation process, you will be able to set up "parental controls" for the availability of play. Some classes seem to always be more powerful than others, however, the developers of the game promise that they're addressing this situation.It is fairly expensive if thought of as simply a video game. Raids, dungeons and "heroics" offer thousands of powerful monsters that, when killed, give weapons and armor that strengthen your character. You compete against real players controlling real characters on different computers, which is typically referred to as "PVP," or player versus player.Once you have reached the maximum level, the fun has just begun. The gameplay ranges from simple to slightly complicated depending upon your class selection, but always maintains the smooth controls that are oh-so-user-friendly. This is a very long post, but well worth it if you're seriously considering this game.Pros:First and foremost this game is a milestone in the both the MMORPG and online gaming industry. The game runs at (I believe) $15 a month, or $12.99 if you pay for 6 months at once.
Raids follow a different suit, requiring 10 to 25 skilled players able to communicate and coordinate themselves in order to (hopefully) kill the most difficult monsters in the game. Also, keep in mind, that this game will (probably) entertain you for much longer than a TV or DVD or Console game. There are four different types of battle: capture the flag, protect the resources, defend/attack the keep, and control the territory. With over 11 million subscribers, it's the largest online game to date, and for good reason.The graphics, while cartoonish, indulge you in a moving work of art with flowing waterfalls, freezing tundras, and shadow-ridden caves. The cheapest route to take is to purchase the Battle-chest (the first two games), the second expansion pack (soon to be added to the Battle-chest) and a large chunk of game time.A key thing to consider in terms of price is that you're buying much more than a game. Extremely. You can select from 9 different classes at the start (another is available further on in the game), each of which have their own roles to fulfill by either Healing, Tanking (taking the hits for other less-hardy classes), or DPSing (DPS: Damage per second, a term used to explain classes adept at dealing damage). No, seriously, if you have any history of alcohol/drug/gambling abuse, you should reconsider, or at least be informed prior to purchasing.I offer to you this solution: first, download the 10 day free trial.
If you are successful, the rewards are some of the most powerful upgrades in the game. The world itself is simply huge (though surprisingly easy to navigate), spanning across four continents (one in outer space), and leaves the gamer with an unparalleled sense of citizenship. It's expected that you will 1-3 hours a day initially, but will quickly fall into the 4+ hours as your trial nears its end. Some things are simply best if discovered.Cons:In recent times, the game has found difficulties in PVP in terms of equality. Dangerously. Sure, an XBox game is only $59.99, very cheap compared to World of Warcraft, but within a few weeks/months the XBox game will become dull, whereas this game will have already released new content to be conquered.
Next, keep a log of the amount of time you spend on the game during these 10 days. If you believe this is too much time to spend on a game, don't fret.
Most will find that they've spent an upwards of 30 hours (or much more) on the game in only 10 days.Determine for yourself if you truly have that much free time to spend on a video game. Beside the four available battlegrounds, the game contains four "arena" maps offering extremely competitive play in the form of 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5.
After the 10 day trial, take a look at how much time you've spent on this game. The music/ambience then changes frequently throughout the game depending upon your current location and really adds an element of class to the experiences of stepping into a haunted mine, or riding up to the gates of a citadel.
*This is why I only gave it 4 stars*The game is addicting. Guilds, world events, seasonal events, mounts, professions, mini-games, parties, transportation and real-time economies are just a few more of the many other unnamed aspects to this game.
If you grow wary leveling, it is possible to "que" into a battleground from anywhere in the world. Another option to the post-leveling stage (or "end game content") is coordinated PVP.
You know, "kill 20 x to get 5 y for person Z" and thankfully the drops are not that rare unlike some RPG's where it's like "oh come on, should've had one by now". And with the ability to have multiple characters as "alts" or alternates, it'll be fresh and new from visually to gameplay since different classes get different skills and specialties. Based on the kind of character you pick, you'll end up in a different area of the world than others. Grinding is a big thing and too often you'll run into quest givers with many leading to other quests that'll yield bigger rewards once you reach the end. Sure graphically the art style is "cartoony" but it's very pleasant to the eye, especially those with high-end PC's/Laptops with minimal framerate hitches or lag. Having a below-average PC, I haven't even bothered checking out any computer games whatsoever and had to rely on console ports on the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360.
Then turns out that most of the names I was picking were not available and I'd rather have a "real" sounding name, not something like "XxXkilla" or something like that so after finally finding one, it was off to the races. As far as PvP and PvE, I generally avoided PvP playing since I prefer co-op type games like Left 4 Dead and whatnot and I'd rather help out fellow players during tough spots than trying to kick someone's face in (which I have Street Fighter for, or at the very least, shoot their face with Call of Duty).Now since this is an MMO, you have to get used to one thing, and this was the surprising part since it didn't bother me but this is heavily geared towards grinding. Back in the day I had Diablo II but other than that, I've mainly been on consoles but after getting a pretty sweet laptop, I figured "eh, what the hell, see what the craze is about." Now I've never played an MMO before, mainly because I hate subscription fees but also because of the lackluster PC I had so I can't compare this to Warhammer Online, EVE Online, Lord of the Rings Online.or really any of the "Online" ones. It's also a nicely varied world with snow valleys, countryside having an almost pastoral feel to tranquil forests to ominous bogs.As far as gameplay is concerned, at first you're a little "now.how do you sell stuff.", but eventually you will get the hang of it and it's incredibly accessible and the more you play the more things get added for you to use in the game such as additional skill slots, abilities for other weapons and skills that you can use from cooking, enchanting and the like. My one complaint about this is that some quests make you give a certain item or talk to an NPC you haven't met yet however your map/mini-map sometimes doesn't tell you till they're actually near and when you're told "they're in the city" my first thought was "um.where."This isn't one of those kind of end paragraphs where I say this is the best MMO on the market and all the others don't have anything of World of Warcraft since, as I said, I haven't played them.plus one subscription based game's enough but I will say that Warcraft is quite a fun experience and certainly different than the console games I normally play but your addiction level may vary but there's enough content here to satisfy new players and plenty of depth and quests for the frequent players. But other than that, I'll say that this is quite a worthwhile game to play.just watch your relationships deteriorate at the same rate your character's level raises.just kidding, or am I.So after buying the game plus a game card for 2 months of play, in comes the incredibly lengthy install which literally took me from 6 in the afternoon to 4 in the morning and that's with a 100 MB/S connection speed.
My first character was a night elf warrior so I was put in the tree of Teldrassil, a massive tree with purple foliage and visually I have to say it really looks impressive.
