I know this isn't the current WoW intro cinematic but here is a reminder of some of the characters and storylines which blizzard have in the WoW universe. This intro gives me chills down my spine.

I never could get into WoW. Played the game for a few months but the endless repetition just bored the crap out of me. I never understood how slaying the same monster 500 times just to level or finish quest was considered fun. Not my type of game I guess.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

World of Warcraft is still pretty much the same game it always has been, there are those who cry and moan about how TBC was the best expansion and it is never going to be as good as 200X ever again. I can safely tell you as someone who has played it from the Beta to this very day that those people for the most part never played the game to any level during those times.

You will also hear a number of people now claiming that WoW has become too easy and casual. While it is true that Warcraft now features baby versions of some of the instances in game it also still features normal and Heroic modes to those raids, and again I would assure you that anyone who claims the game to be easy has zero experience of Heroic or even Normal modes of raiding in a lot of the cases.

As for it being too late tho... it completely depends on what you want to do, if you loved the Lore of the warcraft universe then playing WoW will show you what became of a lot of these characters, some of whom are now faction heads or have massive shrines to their lives works in the RTS games. The world itself is gigantic and there is so much to do in it you could literally get lost for years... and I mean years.

If you are going to play it tho do not just jump right into the game on a random server with a random class, you should do a little research on the population of the server you try and if there is anything odd or weird about it, a fast check on the Warcraft forums found on the main blizzard website will show you if there is any issues. Issues you would want to be careful of are lack of server population issues or Horde to alliance Ratio issues, or the opposite ends issue which is big server queues at the peak times of play ( my server currently has a 40 min queue around 6pm thanks to a youtuber and his army of fanboys on it)

When it comes to class all I can say is make a druid, they are the only one of the 11 classes in game which can do all 4 roles in a group situation and are a massive bag of fun when it comes to doing stuff on your own. If you have no experience of MMO life you should know that class's break off into different spec trees such has tank/healer/dps and a lot of class's in wow can do 2/3 of these roles but the Druid is the only one who has 4 talent tree Tank/Healer/Meleedps/Rangedps so if you wanted to experience all possibilities of end game play the druid would be best to start with.

As for people suggesting that WoW is bad because it costs money to play, it costing money to play is actually a plus in many areas if you are willing to pay 50euros per 6 months of play, the cost is easily outweighed in terms of content as there is no other game which for 50euros will literally offer you non stop play experience any time you get to sit down and login to it and also it is a deterrent from people who would jump into a free to play game as a baby sitting tool who have no cash invested in their account so could freely troll and be annoying in the game world (while it's true that you can play for free up til lvl 20, those characters created on those accounts cannot talk in general chat, whisper people or even Yell to those in the surrounding area, they are muted until they put some cash forwards)

If you want any other info about more in depth aspects of WoW feel free to ask me, been running a guild for years now and done all there is to be done in terms of PvE in the game.

If I didn't want to explore, and I didn't want to farm, was there a way I could experience the high-level aspects of the game quickly (is there a shortcut)?

In a short while there will be the pre order ability for the next expansion it will allow you to create a lvl 90 character instantly to get you ready for the launch of Warlords of Draenor. I wouldn't advise.... but you could do that, leveling is not hard, it's actually quite enjoyable I find.

Thanks for the advice all, I started downloading the starter pack and will try it out and see for myself.


Aye tis completely free to just bounce about and level to 20, you will see from that just how fast it is to level up. As staggering as 90 lvls ahead of you is to begin with they heavily nerfed the exp needed for each expansions set of lvls after it was concluded so now places like outlands 6 zone expansion area you can pass the lvls required there by doing half of the first zone so you just zoom up and you'll get good experience of the gameplay along the way.

A druid takes a lot of getting used to since you shift between a lot of forms to do their different combat roles, bear form for tanking, Catform for dpsing at melee, an owlbeast to ranged dps and a treeform for focusing on healing (can choose not to be a tree or owlbeast via a glyph for visual effect) But yeah shifting in and out of the forms is vital for good lvls of play.

By the way, when you decide to give FFXIV:ARR a go, you can level all jobs on a single character, so there is no need to make new characters to experience the other jobs.



Rogue! Go Rogue!

WoW is pretty amazing. I started in vanilla WoW without knowing anything of the lore. What's nifty is that you learn all about that stuff as you play and it's very deep. A lot of quests are basic but some will tell you a lot about the faction you picked. Playing Undead, for example, can make you feel bad for how wicked your people can be but also kind of indignant over how they're treated by the other races.

People can have different goals, as well. Mine was crafting and getting rich. I also enjoyed PVP Battlegrounds and then I finally got into end-game content. Raiding was just too stressful for me, though, and I eventually quit. Others absolutely love it, though, and get way into it. Taking down Ragnaros, who was a big deal back then, is the most memorable moment in gaming for me, as was being one of the first on my server to get a mammoth and a dragon. That mammoth ... geez, I'm getting nostalgic.

Don't worry about a subscription, though. You'll actually save money playing WoW, as you won't have much time to worry about other games. I skipped the start of last generation and didn't get a console until the PS3 Slim--and I never missed it at all until I stopped playing WoW. The sheer amount of content is amazing. It's worth the price and I do not say that lightly.

Any MMO that forces you into a sub isn't worth playing imo.

Would you suggest a better one that's free?



I googled it, that looked terrible lol. Love the concept art though
