WoW! Am I Really Sorry! by Afro Thunder

World of Warcraft. Let me just start off by saying how sorry I am for any comments I made about World of Warcraft. I’m sorry, I’m sorry as the day is long, I’m sorry as the ocean is large, I’m sorry as food is necessary, I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Now that that’s over, time for the review.

WOW! WOW! WOW! WoW is amazing! It’s incredible! It’s fantastic! It makes me sorry I ever played City of Heroes or City of Villains. It makes me sorry that I ever made comments about WoW. It makes me sad that I ever defended City of Heroes or City of Villains. It makes me sorry that I wrote reviews on the wrong MMORPG’s. But, I am most happy and grateful, that I finally got World of Warcraft. Now, I just started playing it, so I don’t know much, but, I do know how addictive it is, how crazily fun it is, how much better it is than CoH or CoV. I’m sorry. It’s one of the top five best things to happen to me. It’s too bad that I wasted so much time on other games, when I should have been playing this. Also, I’m afraid I going to be addicted beyond repair, but I’ve dodged disaster before and come out smelling like guestroom soap.

WoW is probably, the best game out there (I only say this because I haven’t played Oblivion yet, and I have a hunch that Oblivion will be fantastic). But there is only one thing wrong with it, and maybe CoH and CoV spoiled me in this concept, but character creation isn’t very good. You’ve got something like 6 options for how your person looks, so, more often than not, you meet your twin, then a few moments later, you meet your triplet, then your quadruplet, and then quartet, then sextet, then sestet, then before you know it, the entire server is filled, with people that look like you. I’m sorry. As well, the name capabilities suck. You can’t have awesome names like Dr. Payne, or Greg the Orc, or Silly-Lilly, because all you can have in your name is letters; no spaces, numbers, or punctuations. It’s mind rattling and incredibly annoying. I’m sorry. Oh well, the rest is cooked to perfection.

Speaking of cooking, the wide range abilities after creation are outstanding. I love the ability to cook my findings, or catch fish, or mine for copper, or make some mechanical gizmo. As well, the missions/quests are more numerous than that in CoH or CoV. Also, the powers or attacks you can have are incredible as well. Also, the interaction between characters is outstanding and fun beyond comparison. The dancing is great also. I’m sorry. I can’t wait to level up and have the range to do so many things. The other great things are the classes you can pick and the races you can pick as well. It’s so great in fact, that I’m left speechless after all this. 6 “I’m sorry”s out of 5.
