World of Warcraft: 7/10 points |
I had lots of fun until I reached level 60. From level 60 it was all downhill.
There are lots of quests and areas to explore. You can also play different classes for a change of pace.
I played Horde characters. Finding groups at level 60 was hard.
The quest log is small, so you can really only do quests for about 2 dungeons at a time. As the quest givers for dungeons are scatterd all over the world, its not really effective to delete quests and get quests for a different dungeon. This limits what groups you can join if you want to do the quests.
The game lacks a good looking for group system. No one uses the in-game meeting stones. The meeting stones do not allow you to chose your group members, only allow you to nominate one dungeon and does not allow you nominate what part of the dungeon you wish to do. Large dungeons like Dire Maul have different instances for the east wing, north wing and west wing. You have to sit in one of the cities listening to all the drivel while advertising for a group and listening for a group. Player numbers did not seem high enough from a horde view point for there to be a lot of pick up groups happening. With more dungeons being added when the expansion comes out, this will only get worse.
Dungeon runs take too long. 10 out of the last 12 runs I did were aborted part way through because people had to leave for real life reasons.
No character development once you reach 60. They only way to improve your character is from grinding dungeons for rare dropped gear.
For 3 months (late December 2005 to mid April 2006) server performance was terrible, often so bad you could not fight mobs. Server performance seems fine now following upgrades done by Blizzard.
There is a lot of swearing by players. The profanity filter frequently fails to screen swearing as players deliberately or accidentally mispell swear words.
For several months entertainment I would rate this game 9/10.
As a long term Mmorg I would rate this game 2/10 due to the lack of character progression at the end game and because dungeons take too long to organise and run. |
