Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars The same as before and nothing really added

Oh dear, this had such promise. Another grindy, initially interesting add on which becomes a massive waste after a few level ups.

If you are new to wow and have no social life then get the whole deal, you will enjoy it - at first. Then after a while it rapidly deteriorates into a "kill this, kill that, go there, kill this, kill that, go there" cycle. If you enjoy mindless tedium then play on.

If new to the wow series be aware that even on a high spec pc you may spend several hours installing all the software / patches etc. To be brutally honest - its not worth all the installation times.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Ok Good game but one thing...

The overall game is great, but in the end it kills your life. Its the same as BC all over again but 10 new levels. Pvp and quests are the same, just differfent skins for other bosses and such. In the end i think blizzard ruin the game by adding this and to be honest. Play it as a hobby, dont let it take over your life.

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars Boring

Never played endgame before, reached lvl 80 and thought "hang on...now ive got too start over doing the same old rubbish just too grind better gear...but without the reward of lvling..."

So I deleted my account.

The End!

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Good but lacking something

I purchased WotLK on release day and initially loved it. The new island is great and death knight makes a nice change and it was great to do dungeons without knowing exactly what would happen. However as I played for the next couple of days I started to loose interest quickly, and I think this may be because it was just too easy. My characters weren't amazing, but did wear full lvl 70 kara / ZA epics and nothing seemed to be very challenging (I have warrior / druid / priest). I haven't played right through to lvl 80 (stopped with my druid at 77) but my guild friends tell me that even lvl 80 heroics aren't difficult. I always felt that WoW was a nice easy alternative to some of the more serious mmo games (I play EVE too and that certainly can get very tense!) but this latest expansion seems to be very much aimed at kids who just want to win and aren't fussed about the challenge of getting there. However, it is still a well made, visually brillant game that is certainly fun for a while, just not as long as I had hoped.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars More of the same

Lets calll a spade a spade shall we. Its nothing special . Its exatly what you expect and nothing more. If you've played wow 1-70 and not quit you'll like it. If you got to 70 and quit because raiding is boring and repetative then you'll get to 80 and quit again.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars Level 90 please

Having played WOW for 2 years as a casual PVP/PVE player, I ordered WOLTK soon after release. Prompt delivery by Play.

The graphics are good enough for an older system to run on low settings with few bugs. The quests are adequate and the levelling is quick and easy. The achievement system is good for unlocking certain recipes/plans and gives solo players more incentives. It is nice to solo old dungeons and quests with a level 80 version of a traditional class. The new dungeons are nice and not too hard.

At level 80 the fun wears off:

A lot of professions are not profitable anymore, herbalism is one of ther few that is. The daily quests are incredibly boring and once you reach exalted and unlock a few decent items you will be wasting your time. The new dungeons and DK class dilute the skill required and appeal more to a mass market. The best gear is still only available to elitist rading Guilds or hardcore Arena players.

It would be better if all that grinding continued to improve your character to a level 100 + zone, but Blizzard wouldn't do that.

The game itself remains more for a younger audience or parents to play with their kids, but it is very time consuming.

2 stars might be a bit unfair because the game has many good points and is entertaining, however it does cost 9 quid a month per player plus the software per player. I would rather put that 9 quid towards another game, cd dvd etc.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars Simple

Blizzard continue to attract the younger generation of gamers with another expansion to the fabled "World of Warcraft" series. After playing to lvl70, completing most end-game dungeons and being successful in most of the classes I was highly anticipating this game.

However, upon the release of this game I feel Blizzard have even further simplified or "dumbed-down" this game. Yes, it draws a larger crowd and a bigger market but it is simply the same as "The Burning Crusade" with a few new bells and a cherry on top.

Simply, if you are looking for a new and exciting MMO experience I would reccommend trying other titles such as the up and coming Darkfall. World of warcraft has outlived itself in terms of new gaming experience and seems only to exist to fuel Blizzards paycheck.

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars I miss outland....

Oh dear oh dear, i played wow since the lunch 4ish year ago, classic wow was so good! Then outland was the cherry on top of the cake! But northrend.... Its blizzards inbred mistake of the warcraft games, daralan looks like a blood elves worst nightmare, leveling is so easy its unreal. Boring quests.
I miss the days of outland, illidan was better then lich king, all the quests in outland where based on demons that looked and sounded awesome! In northrend its.... Some weird looking sea lion that needs some sea weed taken care off ...:( i actually have stopped my subscription after like 4 years because i dislike it that much. I may start playing when i think the time is right but i really think that wotlk is ruined for me. I liked the death knight bit that was fun for like 3 hours then when i hit hellifire i was like.... Oh right so i haven't just £20 for a heroic class that does nothing more else then a normal character then start at level 55.
Oh well all things some to an end i guess
Jk x

i played the game for 2 years and only quit 6 months ago. its the best game ive ever played and probably always will be. The only reason i stopped was because i got really addicted to the point where i didnt have a social life outside the game. I still think about getting the game back but i i will go back to how i was before. Think before you buy the game, it can ruin your life! If you dont really have a life then this is the game for you :P

Having played WoW for 2 years now, i was looking forward to the second expansion. However so far it seems to be very lack luster. Its the same old WoW, with too spread out zones now and similar instances with nothing special involved. I can't help but feel WoW is going to die a slow death over the next 2 years.
