There have been bad reviews in the archives of history but to date no World of Warcraft review has been a bad review. Well, alright that was a slight exaggeration.
As with anything World of Warcraft and the entire Warcraft empire does have its fair share of critics, but for the most part these are few and far between when you take on the entire legion of World of Warcraft players who believe the sun rises and sets in the world of video games with World of Warcraft.
This highly popular online game, reached a milestone of eight million players worldwide on January 11th, 2007. Not all of these people could be wrong could they, about the quality of the World of Warcraft game? Blizzard rightly took this as a sign of a good World of Warcraft review, given by none other than their loyal player base.
So how could there be a bad World of Warcraft review? Very easily in fact. Players of other major MMORPG’s will naturally enough prefer their own game to that of the World of Warcraft, and this holds doubly true if the game they play doesn’t need an account fee.
In fact this seems to be one of the worst World of Warcraft review problems, the need to pay for the privilege of playing World of Warcraft. Most of the numerous World of Warcraft review pages that you will come across though, will all lean towards praising World of Warcraft for its great game playing as well its accessibility and ease of play.
The good World of Warcraft review pages go on and on, and you will also find mention of such things as over a thousand quests available for game play with more still to come, a number of lands to explore, and a variety of races and classes to choose from to create your character.
Also another reason for a good World of Warcraft review lies in the fact that Blizzard learnt its lesson from other MMORPG’s and created instanced portions of the game so that players wouldn’t have to fight over the limited number of item drops, and the limited number of truly bad monsters to fight.
Having an instanced portion of the game to play in, meant that players could play without interrupting other players who were playing in the same portion of the game as they were. These were all factors leading to many a good World of Warcraft review from the time that it was released in November of 2004.
However, you don’t need to rely on a third party World of Warcraft review. With the advent of blogging and forums you can now give your own honest World of Warcraft review for other people to see.

Wain Roy asked:
Like they all say, it’s fair to be a little unfair in love and war. Obediently, most of today’s WoW (World of Warcraft) gamers have taken recourse to all the ‘naughty’ means of cheating the game and leveling up to their advantage. A game so widely popular in the US, Europe, China and South Korea, has created just as much history in the number of hacks and cheats it has under its name.
The WoW makers, Blizzard Entertainment, keeps a tab on all such cheats and bots associated with the game and are actively upfront nullifying these the moment these are identified. However, the hacks and exploits are released again with modifications easy enough to dupe the Blizzard. So this war goes on—the unflinching hacks and the watchful warden (Blizzard’s combat program) carry on their tasks of ousting each other.
Hacking in this WoW world is nothing new. It was even there when the game was introduced. A program called cosmos helped players do a lot from inside. This was so alarmingly detrimental to the game economy that it led to the creation of warden, which is responsible for identifying and stopping such unfair programs.
Unfolding in the land of Azeroth, as the gamers move on to conquer levels after levels with their skills and weapons, the ways to cheat the game is always on their mind. Some of the World of Warcraft hacks released to date has fallen apart, detected by the Blizzard. One of these was the BWH, a teleport hack. This enabled players to transport to any location in the game with the help of coordinates. However, the warden is now programmed to detect it and subsequently ban the World of Warcraft account using it.
The hacks and cheats are continuously created to reduce chances of getting caught by the Blizzard. There are WoW speed-hacks, which enhances the character speed allowing the player to move faster than the predefined speed. Teleport hacks are little risky now, after the BWH case and can result in a ban on your account. Map hacks help the player get a bird’s eye view of the game, showing positions of all players and monsters. This is also detectable by the server. Then there are World of Warcraft cheats and exploits for those who want to do things outside the rules of the game. The WoW guides help those gamers who want to play it fair, but with a slight advantage. And there’s the WoW bots to play for the players when things get very boring while leveling up.
With all these, the players become more powerful and get an edge over the rest. When adrenaline is high on the warfront, it doesn’t hurt to be a bit unfairly competitive!
