I'm addicted to WOW. I needed The Burning Crusade to get my character to level 70. The Outlands are awesome, the challenges are insane, lots of new cool stuff. Now Im just waiting for Wrath of the Lich King. But warning - you need a fast gaming computer to be able to play. I am in the process of upgrading my computer because I am experiencing lag issues after installing TBC.

Good, but...

It's a good expansion to a great game, too bad they turned the game into a farming game in order to achieve your ingame goals. Epic Flying Mount=farm your butt off, epic gear that you can make yourself such as 3 piece armor sets= farm your butt off...

It's not what it's cracked up to be

I've been playing wow now for around 2 years. Have 3 70's and it's been very hard to get these toons to this level. I enjoy wow's graphics and music and different areas in the game but it has some serious problems that can and will get to you over time.

One, Unless you have got a group of really good buddies forget about end game instances. People over time have gotten so self serving that even your casual friends won't help at times cause they want the stuff.

Everything is about what you have in this game, gold, armor, weapons etc. If you don't have it you don't do high level raids and nobody is gonna help you get it unless there just plain bored or really nice people (not common).

It's all about grinding, there are no really good quests, not very creative. It's an I want I want game which is fun in the beginning but gets very old later. And the quests that are there if you so choose to do them will never give you rewards like arenas or instances. In fact they have made the arena and instances rewards so much better than what any person can make in their profession that it is really rather discouraging.

Wow is a good short term game for graphics and to keep you busy till something better comes out. I also have a problem with the fact that Blizzard is this multi-million dollar company collecting tons for money for subscriptions and still has to take the servers down weekly for upgrades, fixes or patches. How noobie can you get with the bucks there pullin down they should have back up servers to kick over while they fix the primarys. There should be no interuption in service.

I have seven toons on GW, its good game, GW and WOW are actually very similar in lots of ways. The down side to both of them is that both games are all based on war of one kind or another. GW is free and don't believe it has a down time, it's been a while. Neither are perfect they are both fun for a while but i think both games need to work out systems and questing where if your willing to do the work you should have equal rewards versus fighting all the time. Don't make the games group dependent make it optional. This way if people are willing to put in the time they can get good stuff to. Good Luck to all :)

WARNING Burning Crusade can only be played on internet

First there was WARCRAFT, Reign of Chaos, which is Warcraft III; this took a very graphical rise from Warcraft I and II; oddly, I liked those games better, to be honest.

But at least Warcraft III and it's expansion set, FROZEN THRONE, you could play by yourself *without* going on the internet. Suprise, suprise some people do not like to play online!

I'm just not the kind of person who likes to go on the internet to play games. It's just a preference of mine. I purchased WORLD OF WARCRAFT EXPANSION; BURNING CRUSADE from Wal-Mart and had to return it. Why? YOU CANNOT PLAY BURNING CRUSADE WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION; IT IS IN FACT MANDATORY, so I said forget it and returned it. I was NOT aware of this fact when I purchased it; I assumed it was just another expansion like Frozen Throne.

YOU HAVE TO READ THE VERY FINE PRINT--SO BEWARE, IF YOU PLAN TO PLAY THIS WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION--DO NOT PURCHASE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T.

For the millions of online Warcraft addicts out there, more power to you--and it requires a subscription to keep at it. Which means ongoing costs. You are also required to have BROADBAND internet (mandatory). That by itself (along with cable television) is about $80 a month. (By the way, I'm one of those people who rarely turns on the television-and when I do it's almost always to watch DVDs).

I'm giving this one star due to the requirement of Internet only and NOT being clear about it--you have to read the VERY FINE PRINT. It's not obvious on the box.
SHAME ON YOU BLIZZARD!

Great Expansion

This is one really great game for anyone who has played the original World of Warcraft and loved it like me then you have got to get this!

Complete letdown considering how great the original was. Its become a monotonous gear race.

I was really excited about this, I even had it pre-ordered. When i first started it up after the long install process I made a blood elf to check out the new Silvermoon area. I actually thought it was quite beautiful, the art design for it reminded me a lot of Fable. I goofed around on my Blood Elf mage until level 12 then went onto my troll priest to start the grind to 70. The leveling process wasn't as painful as i was worried it would be, and actually went by rather quickly. The new environments were pretty cool looking, my favorites being Nagrand and Zangarmarsh. The rest were actually pretty bland. The brief time I spent leveling managed to make me feel like a lone hero again, but that feeling soon went away as I hit 70 and began raiding and saving money for my epic mount. Eye of the storm was a disappointment and the rest of the battlegrounds were overrun with idiots who just spent all day AFK to get honor points. I soon noticed it became extraordinarily easy to get epic pieces of gear. There was no more challenge, in the original if you saw someone with epics you knew they accomplished something, in BC, if you saw someone without epics they either just hit 70 or are completely incompetent at playing their class. The flying mounts were neat but you couldn't even use them in Azeroth. Oh and of course the raid bosses are as boring and robotic as ever, they don't even have the epic feeling the ones from the original had. So here I am, a level 70 troll shadow priest with a netherdrake, full frozen shadoweave and other epics from kara, and my raid group is on High Astromancer Solarion. Its everyone's dream right? Wrong, I was having less fun being on top of the world in BC than I was being in the middle in the original. This is an expansion with nothing but more of the same but without any of the epic feel to it. It doesn't feel special like the original. I have now quit the game because its just become a monotonous gear race.

This is not WoW anymore!

Welcome to Warcraft 4: The Burning Crusade...

For those who has played WoW, I believe that this game is the next in the whole Warcraft series. Yes, I know this isn't a RTS, but you do definitely have to practice strategy in a real-time setting!

The game has changed dramatically that I don't believe anyone would be convinced that they are playing WoW anymore. The talent revisions, all the different items, different quests, new races to choose from, it's all different now.

If people ask me if I play WoW, I'd say, "Huh? Who plays WoW anymore? That game's old." Blizzard has done well to come out with a new game that makes it more enjoyable of a MMORPG than the old World of Warcraft, and I see great new things every day that I play.

I recommend this game to any PC gamer out there, especially the D2 fans of old(I am one myself!), and to those who have played WoW but quit. This isn't WoW anymore! Come back and enjoy Warcraft 4!!!

Amazing

This game is action packed and adventurous. The two new races Blood Elves and Draenei have exciting new homelands and quests to explore. People of all ages would like this game but people 10 and older would probably like this game most.

WOW

Having played only the previous incarnation of World of Warcraft, all I can say is WOW (pardon pun)!! The colors are fabulous. The detail is awesome. I can't wait to hit level 70.
