Started playing passively at a friend's house. Wanted to play at home. Bought it (Battlechest is a smart buy), set up an account, and haven't looked back.
You will find yourself wasting tons of time on this game, and when you're not playing and you're at school or work, you will be thinking about playing it as soon as you get home. This game is really, really addictive. The sad thing is it's only moderatly fun because it get's very repetitive. Buyer beware this game is worse than nicotine and crack combined. friends don't let friends play WoW.
This game is very addictive and you will invest a lot of time in this game. The addictiveness is VERY HIGH. Some of these can take longer than 8 hours to accomplish.
My husband and son are much more casual players, but it can be difficult at times even then to pull them away from the computer for dinner, etc. If you have LOTS of time to waste away, buy this game. I've played for over 3 years and have always been at the top of my game.
(And Yes, there are LOTS of people on this game from the time they wake up until they fall asleep at their keyboard). When you are playing. and going into an "instance" you are in there with 4-24 other human players and you all must work as a team to defeat the monsters.
It will keep you entertained. See www.wowdetox.comAlso, there is a monthly subscription charge of $14.99 after you purchase this set.
If you're looking for a good single player game, or enjoy sitting aorund for hours talking to people you don't know on the internet, WoW might be right for you. Otherwise steer clear and save yourself a boatload of cash.Leveling up to 70 can be fun, there is enough to do to avoid grinding at least with your first character. Once you're there though, the game screeches to a bloody halt. PvP is lackluster, pointless, and wholly unenjoyable.Raids are enjoyable if you like sitting around for hours.Every character in late game is identical both in equipment and abilities for a given class.Blizzard also decided to completely ruin Warcraft's back story too.Play something else.
The Deal:The price is a deal, because you are getting both wow and the expansion right + 2 guides. Grind to get your levels. These seem to be the really only bad qualities. They tell you some WOW edicate, and some general information. There are battlegrounds to fight other players, tons of variety in monsters, very pretty scenery, tons of variety in every way. All of this information is available on the internet and probably in the manual. Well to tell you the truth the guides arent worth much. Eventually you are going to be required to group with others, so be prepared to.
If this battlechest wasnt cheaper than the WOW and the expansion alone, then I wouldnt recommend it. The Game:No matter what anyone says this game is still a grind. The good side is that it has more features than most mmos. Besides these factors, the world is huge, and once you travel to a place you can fly a griffin back (really cheap), which save huge amounts of time.
