Old or young, you won't be dissappointed. Anyways, hours and hours ad infinum of fun. Finally, in the last two expansions, you don't have to get divorced to have nice gear. Excellent graphics, interesting quests and dungeons (called instances in WOW). I've been playing games since pong (yes, i'm what most the kids who play this would call "old"), yelling to the "voice activated" atari consol, Nintendo, Playstation, XBox played em all.
And you like PvP, this is the game for you. I've had the games, but new computer, new continent, had to get the games because the internet in Iraq is, well suspect. What i've always really loved were the Dungeons and Dragons games. The single most addictive and fun game ever conceived. Where DnD jumped the shark, WOW has excelled.
Buy this, you gotta get Lich King too.
After coaching her a bit she's ready to go to Outland three weeks later.Also a big benefit is that you can make a Blood Elf or Draenai if you please. You will get to level 60 really quickly (at least 3 times as fast as normal). This battle chest is a must have if you use recruit a friend. Especially if you've either played this game or catch on to game fast. I recruited a friend of mine who didn't know anything about video games and never played before.
In my experience, they wanted some kind of card right away.I'm coming to the end of my free days, and I do plan on getting a game time card to continue my subscription, as it's been fun playing this MMO with my friend, and I'm currently just about level 30, without really trying all that hard. All I had to do was enter the two game codes (one for base game, and one for burning crusade) into my Battle.Net account, and I was set. I wasn't really interested in the books that come with the battle chest box, as they are of course all out of date now, but it was a better deal than buying each box seperately, and so I picked this option.I was pleasantly surprised when the 30 days that come with the box were added on top of the remaining six days of my free trial, bringing me up till the end of January for my subscription. Having played EverQuest and other Sony Online Entertainment games, I was not used to this. I joined my friend in World of Warcraft by downloading the free recruit a friend trial from the website. I enjoyed my time spent with her, and since my characters are still fairly low level, I figured that the original game and the Burning Crusade expansion will keep me busy for a while. I never even broke the seal on the disc to install from it; the free trial was the complete game, up to at least BC, and I suspect all the data for Wrath of the Lich King is already on my computer, but not unlocked yet, as I haven't purchased that expansion.I was also pleased that I didn't have to give Blizzard any credit card info to continue playing the game, I just told them I'd be using game cards, and did not put one in right away.
In normal life you dont get rewarded so often because of real-life constraints. I played this game since 2005. The main goal of the creators of the game is that you spend the maximum amount of time playing it. This is to let your brain know that you did something good. This is worse than heroin for them, because soon you discover that you cannot leave this little series of puffs. An addiction develops.
At some point heroin was legal but eventually the law caught up with it. The size of the world for example is optimized so that you can run for the longest time from one side to the other without getting pissed and leaving the game. So if you are buying this "product" for someone its better be your enemy. In my opinion they should make this game illegal or put a tax on it like on tobacco or alcohol. I had a mistake once of giving my account to my nephew as a birthday gift. put a warning on this game about its addictive nature. I quit a few months ago and had horrible headaches for a few weeks. Our brains are not ready to handle this.
The game is optimized to get you addicted. In wow you get rewarded little-by-little every time you kill a little or a big monster or play a player-versus-player game. They just make any effort to keep you there without any particular long-term purpose. wowdetox is a volunteer-run website dedicated to helping ppl with addiction to World of Warcraft. At least the government should (and believe me will). My sister doesnt speak with me anymore. The game itself is an infinite grind without a goal. So you get a little puff of dopamine every five minutes.
Read a few before you buy. It contains 45k+ posts of addicts. This game is worse than heroin. What you get addicted to is dopamine - a little pleasure hormone that is broadcast around your brain when you receive a reward. The same happened to several my friends.
Just something to think about. The item you use to torture (as stated in game), "inflicts incredible pain". At one point in Warcraft characters are asked to use a device on a prisoner until the prisoner releases a certain location. You are told it's OK for your character to torture as you are not bound by restrictions. The human character you torture pleads for the player to stop.
