 Same Quests different titles March 9, 2008
6 out of 13 found this review helpful
I started off playing World of Warcraft at release only to quit a year later do to the lack of end game content for the casual gamer. Spending 30hrs a week in Molten Core or Black Wing Lair just was not my idea of fun. After some friends told me all the great things about the expansion I decided to reactivate my account and give it a try.
To make this review short. The type of quests are the exact same that were prior to the release of this expansion. Go to this area, kill 200 of this monster to collect 6 pieces of certain item, rinse and repeat.
The addition of 10man raid groups was a pleasant surprise, but even this still makes the end game fall short. The 10 man dungeons in this game have pretty much no impact on the main story line and are just stepping stones to the larger 25man main story dungeons. So pretty much what this means is unless you are in a hard core raiding guild it will take you at least a year, if ever, to see the main boss in this expansion.
World of Warcraft does have some positive attributes to it, but I have never been the type to want to grind out dungeons repeatedly in the hope of the one item I needed from there would drop, and like I said unless you plan to spend every seven days a week, 5hrs a day raiding you will never see the end game content, or have the best items for your class.
So to sum up, you pay for a game that you can never complete do to the hard core raiding atmosphere, the pvp system with the institution of resilence makes any button clicker able to kill you, and be prepared to enjoy the grind fest either in dungeons or in battlegrounds to get any items that may be helpful to your character.
 Blizzard could have done better March 6, 2008

I've played WOW for almost 2 years now and have to say that BC was not all that it could have been. Blizzard added much needed content and two new playable races (Blood Elves & Draeni), some additional quests (very cookie cutter quests, limmited in playability), new spells/talents from lvl 60-70 and Arenas. Cutting to the chase: Blizzard has desigend the game around gear & gold. Other players will judge you based on this (Uber gear/lots of gold - increases your charisma among players, cr@ppy gear and broke, players will ignore you and not want you involved in their end game content / Arena games. Arenas & End game content is great, but you need the gear/gold to get there. The item rewards from Arenas are better then anything a player can craft (the mats for crafting are outrageous, you will be grinding for hours, maybe days) so whats the point ? PVP is fun, but again, its all about gear. Fighting someone with better gear is a complete loss (prepare to get pwned). I play a 70 Priest w/almost all season 3 Arena gear, and can kill any other player, regardless of skill if my gear is better then theirs - Seems that Blizzard promotes this with resiliance (decreases the chance enemies can score a crit, decreases damage from crits. Prior to BC, if you got a purple item, it meant something. Now, purples are all too common from battlegrounds / arenas and instances. In the end, once you hit 70, you can't get any further in the game unless you are part of a progression guild (anything less, you will be wiping for hours in instances and wasting gold on repairs) or have a great arena team. WOW is just a time passer until Warhammer comes out :)
Pretty good, but replayability is very limited. February 18, 2008

For those of you who haven't played WoW, let me say that your first run through will be a blast. 1-70 is great, but after you max your level, the game will begin to become stale, yes, there are vast quantities of 'endgame' content, but it simply lacks the fun of the goal setting experience of MMO's. Your subsequent play throughs will be nearly identical to the first, aside from a select few side quests pertaining to your race, class, or allegiance. In summary, this game is quite fun and addictive, it has something for everyone, but it does stale fast upon completion, as the end-game content isn't nearly fun enough, or rewarding enough to warrant sticking with it for long after 70.

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 :)

After a year off from World of Warcraft to focus on my newborn daughter, my friends pulled me back in with the promise of more classes, higher levels, better gear, and greater rewards. The Burning Crusade expansion does all of this. I was worried that I'd be lost in the game, but it's like riding a bicycle; just jump on and muscle memory does the rest. My level 60 Troll Warrior was ready to go and experience the new content and let's just say I was more than amazed. Within minutes, I was garnering equipment that far surpassed my current gear. If you play WoW, this is a must have expansion!
