Game Review: World of Warcraft.

[Suikun]

Yeah, I'll agree with what folks said above about your review being more "guide-esque" than actually review-ish. Most everything else I can say would also be parroted anyway, so I don't have too much to go off of on this particular review...

However, I will say this: I do wish you'd flesh out a bit more on the vastness of the game. To me, this seems definitely incomplete and only bothering to cover a very vague sense of what WoW really is. There's so many different things that go into WoW that make it such a soul-sucking destructive force. However, that's just more parroting put into my own words... damn.

Ah, and yes, to reminisce about my WoW days (I've not played for about 3 months now...) it's great if you have a guild, friends, and a good server to compensate for the problem that arises from just about every MMO save for possibly Adventure Quest (which is hardly an MMO at all, in my opinion), is that it requires you to work with other folks, and thus you end up doing a lot of work with a lot of strange people and if you don't have the aforementioned trifecta, you end up with a game that's grindy, dull, and above all: abusive.

What about the wrathgate, when the forsaken like...KILL EVERYTHING?! Including MR. FORDRAGON. Like, my favourite warcraft 3 hero.

Eh, remember that was really a bit of a rebellion among the Forsaken led by Putress and Varimathras. My level 75 Undead Rogue just put that little rebellion down again, last night

I find it hilarious that trade chat and everything still keep on going while you, Thrall and Sylvanas are fighting to save the Undercity

Just one comment. Most of the horde are infact not evil. Its the alliance who are evil, atleast the humans are evil. They want to have control of the entire world.

Ehh...not really. They're only human for all the good and bad that implies. The game never really presents them as actively attempting to dominate, and they certainly don't do evil for the sake of evil. The current King though, Varian is a bit of a stuck up prick and a warmonger. As the lore goes he was captured and forced to fight in gladiatorial combat by the Horde for a few years, so I guess that's why he comes off the way he does in game.

Ah now, Wrynn has exactly the same backstory as Thrall, so I can't accept the whole "he's had a shit life, which is why he hates Orcs" thing. It does seem to be the excuse for the three people who actually think he's an alright character, though.

You know the ones, the ones that actively try to stop the Horde killing him while everyone else stands there, cheering them on...

*Varian Chynn.

Have you guys seen his face?

Neither the horde or the alliance are evil first of all, most of the time they even work together.

Credentials--->I have a level 80 Orc Huntard (GS 4238, 4158 RAP, 35.81% Crit), a level 65 BE Death Knight, and a level 33 BE Paladin

Quite so, though I was just stating why he is that way. Not that it makes him the least bit likable. As you said, Thrall did a much better job, and after starting off much worse than Varian, who, in comparison only spends a few years as a pit-fighter rather than his most of his adult life as a slave.
