Obligatory World of Warcraft Blog

i figured since i spent a great deal of time playing this game during the semester i can do a blog on it... since the game fucking changes every 2 months...

world of warcraft is an MMORPG that pretty much took the world by storm... not necessarily in a good way either... WoW (as it is commonly called) set a very low bar for gameplay difficulty... one unfathomed by previous developers.... the game itself plays very smoothly with the occasional bug here and there... and the community is rather active...

graphically the game is constructed well... however models are becoming dated... and constantly being reused... a huge no-no in my book...

sounds are similar to the graphics... in the sense they are well recorded and used... but constantly used by several sources limiting the actual sound effects

story is pretty well furnished... the entire warcraft universe is filled with fan and professional based lore... however the majority of several things were taken from a previous game, Warhammer... a popular table top hobby game started in the UK...

this game is constantly being updated... nearly every month or 2 there is a decent patch filled with new stuff... constantly changing the game... sometimes for the worse...typically for the worse... and often dulling down the game to the level a retarded chimp (vin diesel) *cue daniel tosh* can play...

overall this game is pretty well developed and stands on a large community... but at the same time effectively destroying the MMORPG market with they're low barred staples...
