Broken...and no end in sight

I saw other posted similair reviews to what I'm about to post.

If you're looking at getting into this game, avoid it for now. There are several other mmorpgs coming out that I'm considering picking up now. When I first started playing this game two years ago it was fun, challenging, and custormer service was good. As of November 2008, the realms are down daily, the patches have made the game easier and easier (Quest objects sparkle from across the map, instead of actually having to LOOK for them), classes are unbalanced (they constantly nerf and buff classes with each patch), and customer service is horrible...not providing real answers to thier customers.

Overall, Blizzard has finally come to understand that so many people play this game and will continue to play. Despite being treated like crap by Blizzard, we all keep playing because of the social networks we've created. I have several people who I just enjoy gaming with. Blizzard now knows this...and understand it can get away with shotty customer service and extremely long down times.

So if you're looking for a good MMORPG....this is no longer the game for you. Two years ago, it rocked...and I would be 5 stars across the board. Now? Avoid it.

Superb

I've been playing video games since 1987 & WoW is my favorite. It seems like the game will never end. It's also fun playing online & making friends in the game.

WOW is right!

This is such a spectacular game! I can play it for hours and hours on end without getting tired. I impress all of the guys I met in Chatrooms with my awesome WOW skills! I usually play from 3 PM (when I wake up) until 6 AM (when I go to sleep) without being disrupted... until my mom tells me to come out of the basement and take a shower. But anyway, this is an awesome game that helps me score with the dudes and makes me look cool!

Suposedly great, but buyer beware!

Everyone says that WoW is great fun, has great graphics, and so on. There are a few things, however, you should know before you buy this game.
*This game requires a very High-end computer, equipped with a PC-DVD rom drive.
*To keep playing WoW for any time beyond one month, you must pay a monthly subscription fee of [...]. This may not seem like so much, but for one game, it's not worth it really.

Apart from that, I think it's a very fun game from what I know, and I wish I could play it. If you are willing, and can pay [...] monthly; and have a PC-DVD rom drive, then go ahead, buy this and Burning Crusade, and enjoy!

Dont buy this game

I have played this game for around two years and have multiple level 70 characters and thoroughly enjoy it. However the game is broken (as of october 2008) and unplayable at the moment due to horrendous lag issues and server shut downs.

My advice is avoid this game and the new expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King like the plague until the game becomes playable again. Just thought I'd save you some dollars and whole bunch of frustration.
