Sorry to say but a new player on wow really cant review it... I have played it for 2 years, yes im a sad little prick...
I have experianced most things in the game and i really disagree with you MGG on a few points.
First of i'd like to explain my first comment, as a new player in wow you get amazed on how big the world is, you really ask your self if you ever will explore it all? You get all triggerd by how easy it is and all skills you gain. But let my (sorry to say) break this dealing alittle for you, but its for your own good before you get to deep into it.
GAMEPLAY -
Yes, its really easy to start with wow, the controls are so basic and you can go on explore the world seconds ater you create your troll, human, dwarf or whatever you'r playing. But thats the problem its so simpel you i'll get stuck with the same skills the whole game, as a rogue you get a skill called sinister strike on lvl 1 and that will stil be your main skill on lvl 70 you will get a few skills that boosts you damage for a few seconds and alot of other stuff at higher levels but stil, your first skill is your main attack, i mean you never have to move that skills from your actionbars even when you gain lvl 70. An other exampel is the mage, they gain fireball at lvl 1 and thats thier mainskill at lvl 70.
But once again dont let me misslead you, YOU WILL GAIN OTHER SKILLS, and you can replace those skills with other attacks but >> I M O << The best specs in the game wants you to use your main attacks.
GRAPHICS -
There is really nothing wrong with it, and it is kinda hard to make it more advance whit that many players online at the same time. But there is alot of things ingame that you just makes you want to slit the thorat of puppies, for exampel, you walk into an inn and you feal like going crazy. so it might be fun to jump up on a tabel and dance on it, but no, you just fall right through it. Zomg a hologram!! No its not, its just a graphic bug, and there is loads of them, killing a monster to close to a wall and it might just go through it when he falls to his death. Sure i might be a little hard to please but this is stuff that can fixed really easy. And when you walk down the road looking at the nature its all nice. But if you look behind the big mountaions you will find empty plains with no graphic at all, just a waste land with no design at all, just take up memory and space on your computer, cause you more loading time and it really buggs your mind.
MULTIPLAY -
Well as you said its an online game without any really campaign, and its nice with games you really have too play with other players, its a nice community... in theory, the fact about the gamers is that they are underaged, kinda retarded and SUCK at the game. 3% of the players that play wow is actually playing the end-game bosses << FACT!!
like 20% tries the smaller "hard instances" and like 50% just suck shit, and the rest of the people is worser then that. Its really bad that this game that is so funnie got all the retards of the gaming world.
Guess thats it, hope i didnt break anyone to tears but this is the truth.
