The quests are the same, the objectives are the same, and the ultimate aim of playing is the same. I thought that the expansion would revitalize my interest in this game after going quite some time without playing it regularly, and it failed, miserably.

It still requires an unreasonable amount of time to get ahead in the game once you're max level, which is the very same problem I had with WoW before the expansion. I quit playing because I didn't have time to raid. Sure, I had plenty of time to level characters (which you can reasonably do with 1-2 hours of play per night), but I knew that I would hit the exact same brick wall I did when I hit 60.

If you don't have the time or energy to raid 6-8 hours every night, you're not going to get ahead in this game.

Addictive, fun and costly

WoW has set the bar for all MMORPG's period. This is the one only expansion to the game since it first came out (Nov '05.) BC has brought in 2 new playable races, new lands, dungeons and creatures and a whole host of quests and tweaks/refinements. Blizzard has done a remarkable job of keeping content fresh and balanced (although for the last few months, since May '08 really, the veterans are getting edgy for lack of new material.) You know they are close to the mark when the voices behind the pros and cons of a change or addition are fairly equal in nature. Blizzard has also done a very good job of policing it's community. That in itself hands them a 10 out of 10 in my book. Play is easy to master, the world is boundless (at least for the first year or so) and just about every individual fantasy desire is accommodated: individual play against the environment (PvE), player vs player (PvP), community guilds, special events, team or group play and of course it's quests, dungeons, creatures and landscapes. Enough content for the casual as well as the hardcore player. The players behind the characters are from all over the world, another plus. Their graphics engine is getting dated and it is showing, compared to say LoTR and the more recent Connan, but with BC Blizzard has done a adequate job of giving the game a quasi new look and feel. OK - NOW, everyone needs to be aware that the game is HIGHLY addictive and without parental or personal boundaries it could become a very negative issue in ones real life. Plus it is very expensive! $15 a month per account is steep by any measure. At 10 million players world wide, that is a quite a revenue base. Addictive behavior is a personal issue, but the cost, while not prohibitive, is a real nuisance especially when things go south and you can't play the game in the time frame you've allowed yourself, or you're allowed, to play within.

Amazing game!

With over 157 reviews this hardly needs my imput but I feel compelled to warn people... this game is highly addictive! The graphics and user interface is so liquid you feel as if you are really there.. and somehow this alternate reality becomes real. You are there. I'm hooked!

Want to get out some aggression, then definitely buy this game!!

Fun but repetitive

Fun game, with a lot of content while leveling. If you like leveling multiple characters you'll love it. But at max level it's very repetitive. Everything at 70 is a grind of some sort with little 'just for fun' content. New high level content is frequently just new textures on the same mobs and quests are frequently almost identical to older content. PvP is lame, requiring either a grind of a few maps or else arena content that's heavily biased towards certain classes/builds. Real large group PvP and world scale PvP are almost completely absent.

Outland Outstanding

I started playing WoW in November of 2007 so this review is as much about WoW as it is about the Burning Crusade expansion. Wow and BC are sophisticated MMORGs in that the story development and plot lines are well constructed and thought out. Playing the game and leveling can be a bit of a grind now and then, but there are plenty of in-game activities from battlegrounds to seasonal quests to arena PvP events that make the game fun month to month, week to week, and even day to day no mater what. The environments are beautifully rendered with a variety of complex terrains and texture mapping.
