This isn't a new game by any means but I just recently started playing it due to the free trial. I'm not really an rpg nut but I have been known to play games such as Knight Online. Due to this I was very much against WOW since I come from the old school Warcraft 2, 3 and Starcraft (which im pumped about starcraft 2) and I figured Blizzard was just making a massacre of my beloved strategy games. Since they decided to have a free trial I gave it a whirl and I have to say that I was completely wrong in my previous opinion. The game is....nothing less than awesome, it is everything that Knight Online is and everything that KOL isn't. I hung up my KOL account and now strictly play WOW. As additional information, the trial is 14 days and after about 7 I was ready to buy it, and in fact did for both my wife and I. So to all those "old school" blizzard players as I am do not fear this game, I guess change CAN be good.
