he World of Warcraft has won quite a few awards and it continues to get great reviews from nearly everyone. Not only did it dominate Christmas sales, but it also broke records when it had 200,000 simultaneous players during the Christmas season. This game is doing what many other games have only imagined, and it’s doing it well. They even cut off sales to stem the tide of players until they can better manage the large numbers. The game has some issues, but even so they are not balance issues, but more server stability issues. These are dwarfed by the number of things they did right. I decided to use Graphics, Sound, Creativity, Entertainment, and Longevity because I believe these best describe a MMORPG. Graphics, Sound, and Entertainment are commonly used by other reviewers, but Creativity and Longevity aren’t. I used Creativity because I felt that a truly fun MMORPG would be innovative and not bound by the basic rules of other MMORPGs. I used Longevity because MMORPGs are all about staying power. The choices for fields may be odd, but they are the best measure of a MMORPG.
