Games are Fun
Now, we're a good near 7 or 8 years since I really played MMORPGs, and I decided to try out WoW, more on a whim than anything else. Now I'm suffering through WoW withdrawal symptoms. Seriously, I am feeling like a heroin addict trying to live without his

Like "Warcraft III" before it, World of Warcraft is less about cataclysmic evolution and more about refinement.

obvious comparison is with Everquest 2, as they're fundamentally the same type of game. It's hard to say that one is better than the other, however, as they have individual strengths and require at least 100 hours before you even scratch the surface.An ob

Classes available to player characters include Paladin, Rogue, Priest, Hunter, Warlock, Druid, Warrior, Mage, and Shaman. Some classes are exclusive to characters of certain races; only Humans and Dwarves may become Paladins, for example, and only Tauren

World of Warcraft tosses out what's bad and focuses on what's good about MMORPGs.

Gamers Europe
For each part of the game there is trade off: the concept works well but to MMORPG outsiders some of the things seem, well, epically pedantic.

From the earliest mainframe computers, people have been making and playing fantasy games of swords and sorcery. The computer commands to place a cursor anywhere you want on the screen were initially developed in order to create the first graphical

In World of Warcraft, players assume the roles of legendary heroes and interact with thousands of other players online as they explore and adventure across a vast world. Whether journeying together or questing on their own, players will engage in heroic

It is an MMORPG at its finest and the first of such to intrigue me in such a fashion since Asheron's Call. As previously mentioned, it is the obsession you have while playing the hero or villain you have created in these games, that overshadows the

2404 - PC Gaming
The raw mechanics of World of Warcraft are solid. All of the components of the user interface are geared to enhance the user's enjoyment of the rich environments. So many games feel as if seven different departments each generated a part of the game

If you want a highly polished and lavishly designed MMORPG set across a sprawling fantasy world made popular by millions of devoted fans, then I strongly advise that you familiarize yourself with World of Warcraft immediately.

So what have I learnt over this period?
Well, firstly and most importantly, despite my best efforts, I don't have time for this game.
That's not to say it's bad - not at all.
I've just discovered that trying to run a website (including playing

The life of a shaman is a grim one on WoW. Shaman are a unique class to the Horde side and are a jack of all trades yet masters of none. Shamans can cast spells, heal themselves and can hit real hard too. They have few weaknesses which makes attacking

With the dust settling now on World of Warcraft, it is becoming more and more obvious that this is by far the best MMORPG currently on the market.

Wow! This game looks great! Sure, it's yet another MMOG with the tired fantasy theme, but somehow Blizzard has made it feel unique and somewhat fresh. And getting to play an undead warlock is beyond rad. Can't wait til I get powerful enough to take on

WoW takes place about four years after the events in Warcraft III. Many of the locales and battlefields from that game are recreated, and several of the more important characters make appearances as well. The most significant aspect of those events is

One of the few disappointments in WoW comes in the character creation department. While not as limiting as the system found in Final Fantasy XI, which limited you to a few pre-done models and maybe a hair-color change, there are still limits. The primary

I began hearing from other gamers about the hype Blizzard was setting on a new type of Medieval/Fantasy MMORPG game in the works. That time frame for games always intrigued me. The WarCraft RTS series combined intense game play with a killer storyline.

Many gamers have worried that the MMORPG genre became stagnant before it ever had a real chance to take off, and they certainly have a valid point. Many MMO's with great promise are simply recycled versions of Everquest, with a few tweaks

The vastness of the story, the volume of things to do in combat, the art direction, and the realm combat all rolls up into a wonderful package.

Blizzard's games have always been more about style than being on the cutting edge of graphics, it seems. World of Warcraft is no different. While some of the textures are noticeably low resolution, the models lack extra polygons, and the water is merely

This is the greatest fantasy MMO in existence, the absolute state of the art in orc-bashing. But the nagging feeling I can't shake is that, for me, that's not quite enough anymore.

The game gives you the selection of eight races, two factions that are race-based, and nine classes, some of which can only be played by a certain faction or race. Everything is overall pretty Warcraft-y in the sense that you’ve seen all of these

Why did World of Warcraft sell as much as it did? The answer is a combination of an ingenious ad campaign over the net hyping the release of the game, the incorporation of an already immensely popular game universe, and the including of elements that
