Fun...but boring
User Rating: 5.8 | World of Warcraft PC
So my friend bought me this game and i though okay no loss, but because i had to pay 15 bucks a month i only played it for a while. So i have read other reviews and found that people enjoy spending hours playing quests and dungeon raids, and looting. There has even been world of datecraft to give a whole new meaning to PvP. I am not critizsing people, i am just saying how World of Warcraft has affected human socialization. After playing this game i come to realize that is repetitive. You always either collect x number of items or kill x number creatures. Okay i have to admit that because its such a large world and a beautiful layout of the world of azeroth, and seeing what the different places look like would be somewhat breathtaking. I can't see myself playing this game for just a few hours, and thats basically one dungeon raid for me. Its takes 1-2 hours to go through an entire dungeon and unless you get all the quests you would have to go through it several times, which at times is okay when you want items, but going through more than 2 or even 3 times is just tedious. After beating it one time, you get another quest that requires you to obtain an item, and you don't want to because you just finished it. There are times when i wish i was going out with friends, but instead there were playing the game and were in the middle of a dungeon. Again, i am not hating on the people that are playing this game, its just that this game is characterized as a "drug" and that is is addicting, but i don't see the addiction. After reaching a certain level i decided to try a new class and race. After reaching a certain level in that character i made a new one. There are people who have leveled to 60 in two weeks or less, or have 3 or 4 characters at level 60 in a short time. I don't even have a character at level 40, and i played the game for about 3 months. This game got really boring really fast, and if didn't want to play it anymore i had to cancel the account, and when i did have the urge, i either had to buy a card that was 30 bucks for 2 months, which is too long for me, or get a credit card and go through the whole process. This game would have been so much better if it did not involve the pricing of 15 bucks a month. Though it may not be much, its just the hassle that i have to go through the process of account management whever i don't feel like playing or want to play later on. I still have the game but never bothered playing it for about a year and a half, and just felt like writing this review. Like i said before, this game is fun...for a while, then its just gets boring especially when traveling a such a far distance in a place that is not that appealing in some ways. Morrowind was a different story because it was more exciting when you had to walk a long way and see the beauty of the world. If i was to play this game again and play it a couple hours everyday, it would take me too long to even get to level 20. WoW just takes too much time to build characters, time that i could spend on more important things. So unless you are someone who has a lot of time on thier hands, this is a game for you. And if your willing to dish out 15 bucks a month, take your time with this game and enjoy it.
