What I've noticed about Blizzard is that they don't do anything revolutionary, but they do the same old thing EXTREMELY well. Take StarCraft: Not the first real-time strategy game, but it was the best ever made at the time of its release. If Blizzard is wise enough to follow this method -- analyze, sculpt their own perfect version, release, rake in the money -- in the MMORPG field, we should have a killer game on our hands.

As I see it, Blizzard has three advantages over other companies who have made MMORPGs. First, the WarCraft universe has already been established through prior games, so bringing it into full multiplayer shouldn't be as difficult as creating a game out of whole cloth. Second, Blizzard has Battlenet, which has to be worth something in the way of gaining experience with large networks like the kind they'll need for WoW. Third, there are now several existing MMORPGs to look at and learn from before they try to make their own.

Now that there are a dozen or so MMORPGs available, it should be easy to spot the pros and cons of each. For example, EverQuest offers a very large world brimming over with content, but half the classes are broken, and there is no convenient way to get around. Each game has both good and bad points, and hopefully, Blizzard will pay enough attention to see what makes the games good or bad. If they do, they should achieve the same level of blissful entertainment their past offerings have yielded. I'm betting they will pull it off....but I'm also betting they'll push back the release a few more times.

World of warcraft is Blizzards first MMORPG, this may make some people concerned. What do they know? Will it be any good? But the awnser has already ben found in the Betas! Beta testers say that WoW is better that any finished MMORPG game.

A little info:
You can play to either the Alliance wich includes the Humans, Gnomes, Dwarves and Night Elves or you can play to the Horde wich includes the Orcs, Trolls, Taurens and the Undead.

There are many different classes to pick from: Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin(Alliance only), Priest, Rogue, Shaman(Horde only), Warlock and Warrior.

And when you get to level 40 you will become an Hero.

There are also "Trade skills" wich are Herbalism, Mining, Smelting, Lumberjack, Fishing, Herb Gathering, Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, cooking, Alchemy, Fletching/Bowmaking, Scribing, Gem cutting, Jewel crafting, Engineering, Tailoring,
And "other skills".
Linguistics (you will somewhat understand languages that you do not know exe. a human doesnt understand an orc), Mount riding (you can ride horses and such), First Aid, Lockpicking and Pickpocketing.

The game takes 5 out of 5 possible stars with no problems!

I like WoW because of the beutifull grapics, endeless fun with new races and classes and the exploring.
There is always a quest out there waiting for you.

A MUST BUY! =D
