The most fun and addicting game in the world, developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The storyline takes place after Warcraft III the Frozen Throne. In the game, you can choose to be the Alliance or Horde with different races, such as Human, Dwarf, Gnome, Night Elf, Dranei for Alliance, and Orc, Undead, Tauren, Troll, and Blood Elf for Horde. There are also classes available to each of the races. They are Druid, Mage, Hunter, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, and Warrior, and each of them can have different abilities. It is an extremely complex game involving many items, abilities, creatures, bosses, instances, raids, etc...
Unlike in Warcraft III, the Alliance and Horde hate each other on principle. The most rare weapons are extremely hard to obtain, as most of them have a very low chance of drop from a really difficult boss. High level raids may also take weeks to complete, depending on the difficulty.
The stereotypical WoW player is a loser that sits at home all day with no life except for WoW. There may be players like that, but many WoW players that I know are just normal everyday people that play just for fun.
Dark_Phoenix: Hey guys, i gots Thunderfury after like 50,000 hours of work!
Normal Person: Great job. Meanwhile, I got into Harvard, got a hell of a nice job and car, married my girlfriend, and I'm on the road to success, and you played world of warcraft?

Chadwick_JuniorXX: Aw...I got killed by C'thun for the 50th time!

AngelRender368: Rogues are so !@#$% cheap! Im never doing PVP battles ever again!

UglyFugly403: Hell yeah, my Warlock is now level 60! The same age as me! BALLIN!!

lol ppl say WoW is addictive which is true but it doesn't mean the ppl who play are smelly fat losers my friends and i who play are athletes and always doing something this just fills the void between 3am and 6am in the summer (if sober if not it a whole different experince) lol i do agree with the earlier statements of the ultimate test for a g/f though lol but the game doesn't require long hours of leveling up to have fun unlike most mmorpgs it actually rewards the casual player
unlike eq where u spend a month killing rats or runescape where u get killed by a woman

The latest gaming atrocity produced by the infamously uncreative and consumer-unfriendly Blizzard, in which you play as a character in a massive and oftentimes lag-ridden world, performing endlessly redundant quests time and again in hopes that you'll achieve that elusive 'Level 60', where the game supposedly actually becomes fun. You have several races and classes to choose from in a ridiculously unbalanced classful character development scheme, but regardless of what class you choose, you will inevitably be outdone by the also infamous race-class combination, 'Tauren-Shaman'. Not unlike Blizzard's by-gone hit Diablo 2, you will also spend endless amounts of time looking for the best gear in the game, due mostly to the fact that this game, like most games of its kind, is gear and level centric, as opposed to being based upon skill. A very weak strategic element is present as well that few players seem to be capable of wrapping their brains around, in spite of the fact that there are step-by-step guides to every quest for every class available online. It is also worth noting that players must pay a monthy fee of fifteen dollars in order to play this terrible, bug ridden game. (Fifteen dollars isn't much, but the author of this definition wouldn't pay fifteen cents to waste any span of time playing World of Warcraft.) Also bear in mind that the game frequently suffers 'exploits'; bugs in the game that players utilize to quickly gather money and resources, or to quickly defeat opponents. Taking advantage of an exploit of any kind - including standing on the roof to avoid monster attacks, European servers only, and engaging in the active harvesting of money and valuable objects, also known as 'gold farming' - may result in an unconditional ban. Contesting said bans will result in a slap to the face. In other words, World of Warcraft and its success are both proof that gamers today have absolutely no taste.
