If you buy only one online game ever, WoW will definitely be the best investment for your money. Lush environments, an intuitive interface, easy to learn yet deceptively difficult to master gameplay, plus hours and hours of quests, dungeons, battlegrounds, raids, and auction houses to enjoy all combine to make one of the most immersive and rewarding role-playing experiences ever.

Having played this game for about 9 months on and off over the past year leveling two characters to their 60s, I've found that over the course of countless patches the scope of the game has changed alot.

For starters, as you first take to the game the learning curve is short and sweet. Quests are straightforward and the rewards immediate. Trade professions (which are available at level 5) are easy to use and almost always yield something helpful to your daily adventures. Your class is usually well-balanced and can handle a variety of situations and perform a multitude of roles. For the casual gamer this ability to handle most challenges solo or in smaller 5 man groups is great as it doesn't make you obligated to the game. However, what turned me away from this great experience was what happens at level 60.

Essentially, after you hit 60 you've maxed the level for class so killing monsters for xp is no longer a concern. Most 60s will divide their time between running instances to try and get a crucial drop for their item set piece or are farming mats or grinding for reputation in battlegrounds (in non-pvp servers). Gone are the days of simple straightforward questing. Now, quests are long, tedious chains that require groups of 5, 10, 20, or 40 to complete. End game is devoted entirely to these large raid dungeons like Molten Core, Ahn Qiraj, Zul Gurub, and the new instance Naxxramas. Most of these require 40 players to successfully complete. Whereas before you could enjoy a real diverse experience in small 5 man groups where every class can empty their entire bag of tricks to get through a tough fight, now, all classes are specialized for specific tasks. The bosses and monsters will one hit you for massive amounts of damage and you will die in about 2 to 3 hits typically depending on your class and your armor/magic resistance gear. The rewards for this busy work are the highest quality items in the game. All this effort could easily consume your time for hours. But for the casual gamer, not all of us have the time to make an appointment every Friday night with a guild to raid a dungeon for 3 hours a night all weekend long. (Raid dungeons have a 3 day timer typically before they reset).

Thus, in all this game is lots of fun. The classes are all well defined and balanced now. The next patch involves talent changes for rogues which were one of the last on Blizzard's list of changes since launch. The professions are all somewhat worthwhile in terms of farming money but the armor crafting professions are not particularly worthwhile after skill level 225 or so. To level them further requires lots of time, money, farming, and questing and are generally not worth it because the best items are bound to you when you make them (i.e. cannot be sold or traded to other players).

There is plenty of content to enjoy while you level about 2 - 3 characters but after you hit 60 on two toons you will pretty much be confronted with one last alternative: either join a raiding guild and spend hours fighting in a dungeon for crummy drops or start another character and do the process all over again. Needless to say, Blizzard has not patched any content for low level players in months and everything that has been added are catered toward new raid dungeons and new raid armor sets.

Bottom line: If you like busy work and I mean BUSY WORK then this game is for you. If you enjoy a casual gaming experience get to 50 and stop. There's nothing left for you to do after 50. Your class has pretty much been honed out and the more powerful spells are just readjustments to remain competitive with 60+ level monsters, nothing more.

Great Game but wears on you

this is a great game until about level 40+ when you find yourself doing the same thing over and over and over again. But, this is one of the best MMOG's so it's worth the money. Some people might be a little more into the social aspect and i guess that's where this game really shines. Maybe this will breakup the tedious tasks. I crapped out at 40 though and moved on to another game.

Where is Diablo III?

I only spend $9.99 to buy this game cause I apply the amazon.com visa card, so that I had $30 discount for once. Even you buy it for $39.99. It is still the cheapest!!

This is a great game to get involved with.
great flexibility in your character and what it does in the world of the game.
great storyline and quests and challenges.
Interaction with other players has been fascinating in all shallow
and deep and fun and forget partnerships and joint ventures.
I can even meet my real world freinds to team up on quests and adventures.
I really am having a good time and when I do create a character that just isn't
right, I dump it and try again or go back to an older character and advance them.
If you're just starting, get to a realm that has low population, so you won't get
confused by the occasional interactive slow spots that get common in some
high population and high activity areas.

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing can prepare you for the sheer playability that WoW has to offer. It does not matter if you are new to online gaming or a seasoned veteran, WoW has the right mix for anybody. You can immerse yourself in the story lines or just go out and kill stuff. You can group with likeminded people and try to take on mobs of creatures in dungeons. There are battlegrounds if you want to test your skills in one on one or 10 on 10 battles. WoW has it all. 60 levels to advance yourself and then open ended gameplay. Never a dull moment and always something to do. This game has taken the computer's capabilities to a new level for interactive multiplayer games. Immerse yourself in a fantasy world like no other.
