World of Warcraft

The best of MMORPGs.

:Good Idea:
·A huge world in the likes of the Warcraft universe.
·The easiest MMORPG for someone to jump into. It's what Diablo did to Dungeon & Dragons.
·Patches galore which means more items, quest, and a ton of tweaks.

:Bad Idea:
·Terrible lag most of the time, which makes your wonder why you pay $16 a month for this.
·Steep price per month. Especially with all the problems in the game.
·90% of the players are either Asian farmers (basically bots) or little kids who like to boss you around and always have to eat when you're trying to do a quest.

:Overall:
·There's a ton of fun to be had but only if you have patience. There's a ton of annoying people in the game, a ton of lag, and a lot of money to be paid out. It's fun and will save you money if you catch the WoW flu.
