I was deeply disappointed with this game. First of all I was hoping there would be a version where you did not have to go online to play. Sort of a one player home version. Alas it only has an online version. I would have been happier with a Sim.

Secondly I could not load the whole thing into my computer, so I could not even play the online version. I just wasted my money for a game I could not play, either alone on my computer or online with others.

So I tried to get into this game recently and here was my experience,

Start up with vanilla(no expansions) for 2 1/2 months, besides the occasional day where the servers are down, which did happen more that I would expect for $15 a month, the game was fun.

Then my account was hacked and I lost my two characters. I called blizzard and despite trying for 4 hours I could get a hold of anyone. The message kept saying that they were too busy try again later. So I emailed them and was basically told it was my fault for not buy a wow authenticator.

So to sum up to start playing and go a year it would cost $280(not counting the upcoming cataclysm expansion) for a video game. If your willing to fork over that kind of money you expect a certain level of customer service for the company and I got none. I will never buy from blizzard again. This was easily my worst gaming experience of my life.

This is a very good game, If you are looking for a good game to spend a lot of hours with out bored this is your game.
