Product Description
Four years have passed since the aftermath of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and a great tension now smolders throughout the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the battle-worn races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and ominous, arise to plague the world once again.
World of Warcraft is an online role-playing experience set in the award-winning Warcraft universe. Players assume the roles of Warcraft heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. Being "Massively Multiplayer," World of Warcraft allows thousands of players to interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting against each other in epic battles, players will form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.
A dedicated live team will create a constant stream of new adventures to undertake, lands to explore, and monsters to vanquish. This content ensures that the game will never be the same from month to month, and will continue to offer new challenges and adventures for years to come.
Features:
- Adventure together with thousands of other players simultaneously.
- Explore an expansive world with miles of forests, deserts, snow-blown mountains, and other exotic lands.
- Join the Horde or the Alliance as one of 8 playable races.
- Select from 9 classes, including holy Paladins, shape-shifting Druids, powerful Warriors and Mages, demon-summoning Warlocks, and more.
- Encounter many familiar and new Warcraft characters and monsters.
- Enjoy hundreds of hours of gameplay with new quests, items, and adventures every month.
- Journey through an epic world filled with dungeons of different styles and depths.
- Explore 6 huge capital cities, which serve as major hubs for the races inhabiting them.
- Practice various trade skills to help locate reagents, make and enhance custom items, acquire wealth through trade with other players, and more.
- Purchase tickets for travel along a number of air routes flown by creatures such as Gryphons and Wyverns. For global transportation, travel by Boat or Goblin Zeppelin.
- Once a certain level has been achieved, players can choose to purchase permanent personal mounts, such as Dire Wolves and Horses.
- Establish a guild, purchase a custom guild tabard, and promote or demote recruits to different ranks within the guild.
- Locate and engage other players with easy-to-use features and tools, including chat channels, friends lists, and animated and audible character expressions.
- Customize the game’s interface via XML.
- Enjoy hundreds of hours of gameplay with new quests, items, and adventures every month.
World of Warcraft is an ever-changing online RPG and as such requires an Internet connection to play. Additionally, a subscription fee of $14.99US per month applies after the first month (payable with either Credit Card or Game Card).

Too addictive...
 Reviewed by Cameron from Auckland, NZ on March 27th, 2008
I'm sure you've all heard the warnings etc about WoW's addictive style of play. I have to assure you that this couldn't be closer to the truth. Sure, the game's not for everyone; no game ever has been. But the numbers really do speak for themselves. Over 10 million subscribers.
There's just so much to do, and it all takes so much of your time, and it feels so worthwhile when you've done it. It's almost impossible to get an 'absolutely complete' character, trust me. Professions to max out, Reputations to earn, gear to get, honor to earn, countless instances to beat, bosses to conquer etc. I've been playing since Open Beta, over 300 days /played, and I still haven't come aross a game to match it.
Try playing LotRO after WoW, for example. You'll see exactly what I mean. The animations and movement in WoW make LotRO's look like absolute rubbish. It's almost painful to watch. WoW really has set the standard, and I only hope Warhammer: Age of Reckoning can surpass this standard. Pure PvP games ftw!

A never-ending adventure
 Reviewed by Chris from Auckland, NZ on June 20th, 2007
Thrilling, yet tedious. Exciting yet boring at times. This game has so many goals that you can create for yourself that there's always something to do! Sometimes it doesn't feel like fun, but still you strive on to get done what you've started.
Or, if that doesn't work out, you can always create another character and start over :)
Other MMORPGs just don't cut it - WoW is where it's at.
Not Worth The Price At All
 Reviewed by Anonymous from Oamaru, NZ on May 19th, 2007
Pointless. That's all I can say about this game.
Graphics are cartoony and kiddish, okay animation, LOTRO certainly has better graphics if you're after an excellent looking game. The world isn't very detailed, no small things that make you go 'wow this game is so fun.'
Gameplay is like a click this, kill the boss get the high level item, kill, kill, get items, go after super rare items. Boring. This game just has no point to it for me, no interesting quests, no character background and depth.
Community. The 10 million or so subscribers are mostly kids. You can play for a few minutes and get the 'noob' and 'pwnd' words from kids that have nothing better to do than play this game. Online games are fun when the community is fun and helpful and kind. You won't get that here. Mostly all the players care about killing enemies and getting all the rare items. I didn't meet anyone friendly on my one day play. (One day because I stopped playing and sold it as it was boring compared to Lord of the Rings Online).
Okay, so to finish this off, this game is pointless to me. Players act like little kids that just want rare items and to kill and argue.
Gameplay is boring, quests don't seem to have any interest, any life. I have now got Lord of the Rings Online and thoroughly enjoy it. If you are looking for a game that has thought and detail, great quests and mature players, go for Lord of the Rings Online.

BORING
Reviewed by Anonymous on February 23rd, 2007
Unless you know 5 people that play this and you and them are on constantly, this game is definably not worth it. Most of the good comments here are probably from level 20s and 30s except for some odd level 60, but this game is nothing but grinding for level 40+ if you want money. Once you play for around 5 months, this game gets boring and i advise you quit then. Also, don't play this game if you value you social life and grades.

Its fun with quests and all, and of course if you have some friends on, it will be fun...but i find that at lvl 46, this game is just farming and grinding. i dont bother with quests as i need money so it seems grinding is the only way, and my friends arent on as much as i would like so its not very fun...once again, horrible as you get on. Also, it is horrible for RL just google the view from the top and you will see...

in short if you value your social life then do not get this game as it is HIGHLY addictive and you'll most likely spend all day everyday in front of the pc playing WoW (no joke)
Great, if you have friends.
Reviewed by Sam on November 24th, 2006
I know this sounds stupid, but this game is incredibly boring if you are the only one who plays this, out of everyone you know.
That is why I enjoy it.
About 100 people from my school of about 1000 play it, and it is incredibly fun to all join up and complete quests and generally stuff around together. In this circumstance, WoW doubles as an internet chat-room.
But I can understand why some people may not enjoy this game, as they simply don't know anyone else who plays it. I would find this game alot less fun if I were the only person who played, and the whole game was simply walking around killing things.
Repeating myself, I believe this game is excellent, so long as you know other friends who play it as well.
More addictive than ...
Reviewed by Pascal from Auckland, NZ on October 6th, 2006
Coming from Guild Wars this feels fresh and new. If you are a PvE player the lush environments, sweeping music and hours of entertainment will quickly see you hooked. The gear advantage does unbalance PvP a bit when compared to more skill based PvP games like Guild Wars, but the non instanced world PvP option certainly adds to the general dread you feel when wandering into contested or enemy territory.
Criticism is often levelled at the grinding nature of quests, the time consuming walks between zones and so forth and if you are not looking for an immersive experience this game will probably not appeal as much to you. But allowing yourself to be swept along by the World of Warcraft creates a wonderful game that will soon have you longing for more hours behind the keyboard.
The subscription model is one of it's hindrances, but becomes a cost/benefit comparison. Spending $49.95 (See Game Card here) every two months for what amounts to at least a hundred hours of entertainment seems more than reasonable, but this is a value judgement that every consumer will need to make for themselves.
Overall, if you have the time, patience and funds to play the game I would definately recommend it. |

The first mainstream MMORPG
Reviewed by Anonymous from New Zealand on September 3rd, 2006
This is an amazing game from Blizzard; it combines the already established legendary status of WarCraft and puts it into the MMO scene. It uses low-polygon models so that load on the graphic card is reduced when viewing massive amounts of people, which only works to some extent, I had to upgrade my 128mb vcard to a 256mb vcard just to enjoy the game without low frame rates, although its still not enough! The most amazing thing and that separates this from many other Asian MMORPGs is that you don’t have to GRIND all the time! You can do quests with teams of small size to a really huge team, which is really nice. Although the level cap is at 60 and at 70 in burning crusade, it is still easy to reach those levels which are a big advantage because some other MMORPGS have levels that seem just about impossible to reach. The gameplay is of a high standard as that is expected from Blizzard in most games. When the game got released, I was disappointed to hear that game features that were advertised were not implemented, which is usual of a game that had an early release, but that did not stop the hordes of people coming to World of WarCraft.
I remember playing in Beta, it was hella fun, but when it got released, the flocks of people started to pile in, now the game is filled with kids, adults, and a variety of people from all different kinds of age groups, its fun and all, but it has totally ruined the game. Heh, who would of though that you'd be killing someone’s mom or dad or little sister? This is an amazing game, for kids and MMO beginners, but not for veterans.

Great Game
Reviewed by Anonymous from NZ on August 15th, 2006
This game is great, but be prepared to spend hours playing it. 1-60 is the best time to learn your class for when you hit 60 (and are in a good guild) thats when the real fun starts. Running end game instances is what its all about (PvP is fun too), but still be prepared to invest time in learning to play these instances as they require alot of skill and team work to complete. As people have said in some reviews "MC takes 10 hours blah blah.." all I can say is L2play. Sure at first they take time to get sussed but once your geared and up to speed you'll be farming it in 5 hours.
This is not a game you can walk straight into and expect to be good at it, you have to work and learn.
If you have alot of spare time (and money for subscription) this is the game for you.
My only hate of this game is the lame idea Blizz had of PAID charactor transfers, this meaning all the noobs from other servers have now transfered into the oceania servers and clocked up the game ques (which were under control about a month ago) and sit in major cities spaming "LF high-end guild", I mean...go back to your old server. Other than that, the lag can be a bitch at times and being d/c in mC or BwL can be a pain.
This game is nowhere near perfect, but its got some really good ideas.

Long and BORING
Reviewed by Anonymous on July 28th, 2006
Played the trail, an already so boring, usless game, i would go for guild wars then this junk. Waste of money an again, LONG AND BORING.
Great from 1-59...
Reviewed by Andrew from Christchurch, NZ. on July 21st, 2006
Horrible at 60.
Levels 1-59 were the most fun I have ever had in a game. I took my time, made multiple characters, finally found a server and guild I enjoyed after 2 months. The next half year was spent levelling my billion alts, and having a blast with my awesome guild.
Your journey to level 60 is long, but far from painful. Take your time. Enjoy it. Because at level 60 you can either run the same 5-man dungeons over and over again, or do 20 man/40 man raids in order to get gear to do more 20/40 man raids. Or you could do some PvP, if you're lucky enough to be one of those classes whose raiding armor sets are good for PvPing. PvP is almost entirely gear based, and horrid faction imbalances usually end up with one side dominating the other, and one side having extremely long queues. If you want the best PvP gear in the game, prepare to put in over 12 hours a day, with a fully organised team. This will get worse when the cross server battlegrounds come out - while this will reduce queue times (which are a bitch on some servers), it will make it harder to compete with your own faction to reach the top PvP rank. (Yeah, that's right. You have to do more PvP than everyone else on YOUR SIDE to get the hot hot Rank 14 gear.) The grind begins at 60. Some people like that. If you like to grind, you can make it to level 60 with a total of ~180 hours played, or so. And then raid for the rest of your WoW career.
Get WoW. Play it from 1-60, you'll like it. Whether you like it at 60 is another story.

A Solid Good Time.
Reviewed by Jason from Christchurch, NZ on June 16th, 2006
Once you find a class and race that you really enjoy playing, this game is brilliant. However it can take growing many characters to find one that you truly enjoy.
As mentioned in other reviews the server performance is a little lacking. However, Blizzard is currently upgrading all servers and increasing the number so performance is increasing. There are 'Oceanic' servers now too, which contain players who play at times suitable for New Zealanders to enjoy. For best grouping experience on US servers you need to be able to play from 10am-4pm to hit the evening US players. However, being off the peak times has its advantages, there are almost never any queues to join (apart from the elite high pop servers) and on pvp servers this means that you can play without much hinderance from the oposing faction.
For casual gamers it is easy to get to level 60 (the max level at the moment), however you will find it difficult to do "end-game-content". But the game without the "end-game" is still very forfilling and a worthwhile experience.
Overall if you want a game that has a good social component to it (I have made many good friends) and enjoy the fantasy genre, this is the game for you.

Blizzard unable to deal with MMO
Reviewed by Anonymous from New Zealand on January 23rd, 2006
If you are considering purchasing this game... don't. For the cost of the game along with the monthly subscription the game is most certainly not worth getting.
At this point in time players are unable to create characters in over 20 different realms which means that if you had intended on playing with friends you probably will not be able to play on their server. Of course, you could start out on one of the less populated servers but the complete lack of people to play/group with makes this alternative highly unattractive.
The subscription is about 15 US$ per month which just really isn't worth paying only to have to put up with the numerous problems Blizzard is currently unable to provide any long-term solutions to.
Just wait for Diablo 3.
Great but not quite perfect.
Reviewed by David from Tasmania, Australia on December 27th, 2005
WoW is a great game, It is addictave and the monthly fee of US$14 is not to expensive. WoW is an almost endless game, you can spend many days doing quests and still come out at the end with more to go.
WoW has tremedous replay value, there are 8 races and different class to choose from. For the full experience you will need (and want) to play all 8 races.
The battle system in WoW is alright, but it gets a little too tedious after about level 10 where the levels are slow to get.
If you don't need support for technical troubles or other things you will be alright. Blizzard is the worst game company I have ever come across for service, the main site, worldofwarcraft.com is good, but half the services they offer are down. Blizzard never tell the people anything about how they are going fixing problems, they make annoucements about crappy competitions that only lvl 60s can go in anyway.
I gave WoW 4 stars because I believe it is a great game, but 5 stars goes to perfect games and this game isn't yet perfect.

Great game!
Reviewed by Amos from Auckland NZ on September 18th, 2005
Great game! There are tonnes of quests, You will most definatley never be in a time without quests, unless level 60, but even then you still have the battlegrounds to earn a reputation with other races to ride their mounts, or looking for good improved gear, set items, raids and much more!
For me it's really hard to get level 60 because the time I have to play, but most people do get bored after level 60. But new content is being added!
Oh and my friend told me an expansion pack or something is coming out soon!
Mixed Views
Reviewed by Matt from Auckland NZ on September 14th, 2005
WoW, Is a highly addictive and enjoyable MMO. But with several flaws:
Without getting into too much detail, the game unforunately dies at level 60. The endgame content is very repetitive, and no Solo content. Early Level 60 dungeons require 5-15 players depending on which one your running. The very high end content, (Molten Core, Black wing Lair), can only be played by a very small percentage due to:
-Requires a group of 40 players
-The difficulty level means you will have no chance if its a Pickup group, It needs to run with an experienced Guild.
-Very time consuming. (People can spend up to 10 hours in MC)
-Being on a US timezone server makes it even harder to get into an endgame guild, and there are no Auz/NZ servers
Im in a NZ/Auzzie guild for MC. We run it once a week. And I have lost intrest, Its very slow and thus rather boring.
If your into PVP, there are also far too few servers for the PvP Battlegrounds, and thus you cant simply log-on and join. You could spend 2 hours in a waiting cue.
The gameplay and solo experiance is great up to 60, but to if you want to keep playing post 60 prepare to waste your weekends, as there's not much for a level 60 from NZ to do at night after work.
Also, Blizzards support is horrible! The game has many bugs and server crashes which need to be addresed, but Blizzard seems to think introducing new content like fishing competitions is more important. Having the Server crash during a boss fight in MC after being in there for 4 hours is beyond a joke. The amount of server issues and lack of support makes this game not worth the montly fee.

For mmorpg enthusiasts and novices alike, World of Warcraft takes you on epic journeys through expansive ever-changing virtual landscapes totally immersing you in the lore and legends that is Warcraft.
-Seemingly endless quests can overwhelm you AND envelope you into the world, helping you learn about the game storylines as well as leading you to explore further and further out into the world.
-Your character can be totally customized to your own gameplay or personality. Whether you are 'in you face' or 'support only' or mixed there is a Server, Race and Class for you with additional options for even more customising.
-The world itself is huge. You could play the game for months without ever fully exploring every beautiful bit of computer generated pixel.
-Social interaction and teamwork is the ideal as you get higher up the ranks. This can be a bad thing when these servers are US based and their game times are different to ours. You could find you don’t have a lot of choice in getting into groups on less-populated servers.
-AI are predictable enough in lower levels, but things can get hairy if underestimated as they get higher. 'Mobs' have physical, magic attacks and debuffs like any normal player but occasionally even I am surprised on what they are capable of.
-The best (and some of the time worst) thing I find about Wow is there is one challenge that always keeps you on your toes. The player vs player aspect of the game is always extremely competitive as human foe (or prey) make for more intense and emotional battles.
On the downside, Wow totally blew the expectations of the world at large and the developers. This does occasionally show in lag, server downtime and patch update time.

Outstanding
Reviewed by Matt from Auckland, NZ on June 8th, 2005
World of Warcraft has been the only online RPG that has kept me amused for more than a month. Taking the elements that made games like EverQuest great, Blizzard has successfully removed much of the tedium and frustration associated with other MMORPGs.
Naturally, the replayability is huge as the game features several races and classes to choose from, each combination offering a distinctly different gaming experience (especially for the first 20 levels or so). Characters can be levelled to a maximum of 60, which will take most players several months at least. The recently released Battlegrounds expansion promises to add more content for players at a high level.
The World of Warcraft itself is vast and features many locations - the forests of the elves, barren wastelands of the orcs and glorious cities of humans and dwarves. The graphics, whilst not realistic in style, are still glorious to behold and the art direction is outstanding. The game's musical score helps even more to create a feeling of immersion.
Highly recommended.

Work on your character by gaining experience and levels or just work on professions like fishing and leather working etc. Or you can just explore the world because it's HUGE!
The biggest problem with the game is the way it really destroys time. If you are the type of person who like to play games just for a quick blast sometimes, then DON'T!! buy this game.
It will kill 2 hours of real time and feel like 5 minutes. It's so addictive it will stop you doing other, more important things and will destroy your social life...

If you're a Warcraft fan, this game is defenitely worth buying. Even if you're not, it will still get you addicted to the Warcraft world.
This game features very very beautiful sceneries. I took about 50 screenshots in 2 days, and still going. Gameplay for this game is also very good. It can make you play for 12 hours, and you think you've only played 2 hours.
The only bad thing I can say about this game is just the servers. Of course, you can choose other servers, but the fun servers (mainly PVP ones) that have heaps of players in it can sometimes become quite slow, and get you disconnected. [Editor's note: This is a problem that Blizzard continues to work on]
Overall, this game is the best game Blizzard has ever made, and the best MMORPG ever made. Thankyou Blizzard!

I have been playing now for a couple of weeks over Xmas / New Year and WoW is simply an awesome game. Graphics, characters, the people - all make this an experience to be enjoyed. Having said this, it did take quite a while to download the patches (over dial-up) over a period of several DAYS (not hours - the guy who said 5 hours is lucky - although this was mainly due to not being able to tie up the phone line for long periods of time ;-) oh well) - not looking forward to next patch :-(

A very addictive game in the early stages of levelling up.
I'm currently playing as a Level 26 Undead mage.
The variety of environments is pretty incredible. I can't stop taking screenshots of this game, the artistry is the best I have seen in a long long time. At a polygonal level the graphics are pretty low detail, but with soft lighting effects and some really great textures the game looks awesome. It is so beautiful to behold you will wish you could walk into the screen, and into the game to witness the surrealness firsthand. Trust me, you will be taking shots and using them as desktop images ;)
The only negative thing I can say about this game is that the pace of the game slows down a lot when you reach higher levels, and dare I say it the game is starting to get tedious. I mean when you have been killing monsters and questing for 24 days in a row somethings got to give. Thankfully there are several classes to player, as well as several professions and races, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that there is at least 12months of fun to be had, if you don't mind paying for it :)

Hey all
This game is just wonderful! Everything about it 'ownz'. Except one thing..
Updates, yes, updates, now this isn't too much of a problem, but before you buy the game, you should check with your parents to see if they are willing to let you leave your computer on a long time (hey, I'm on Jetstream and I was doing about 0-12kbps on ONE update - Took me 5 hours - It's because their updates are done using a p2p system).
But other than that, just wonderful! (And to me, the update was worth the wait).

As playing the Beta for about 2 months, and absolutely loved it, on November 23 I rushed off to beat the crowds to buy World of Warcraft: Colllectors Edition.
Just watching the start up trailer for the game made me drool over it, intense graphics of each race of the World of Warcraft fighting for survival, A Night Elf Druid tracking down the enemy in a forest, A Dwarf Hunter with its Pet Bear in the Snowy Mountains of Ironforge, a Tauren of a needle of the grasslands of Mulgore, and many more races such as Orc, Undead, Human and many more races in spectacular landscapes.
In the game once you reach a certain level you can choose two proffesions out of about 20, Cooking, First Aid, Skinning, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Herbilism, and many many more.
Endless quests, Many races, Endless proffesions, Endless landscapes, devoted team, Many Classes, and much much more.
