 Simply wonderful January 23, 2010

Pre Ordered from amazon, game arrived few days before wraith went live, perfect :D
I've read alot of the reviews here, some positive, some negative so figure i'd drop ma 2 cents worth in.
For me there is no better place to be than plodding around the world of warcraft, into my 3rd year now and my love of the game just keeps growing. There are times when blizz gets the balance wrong, there are times when problems need addressing but blizz always seem to sort out the major flaws in the next patch and the game evolves.
My advice to anyone who is starting out is play with friends, find people who you enjoy playing the game with and your enjoyment of the game will increase tenfold, community is a big part of wow, oh and don't be afraid to use 'ignore' for those peeps who just get on ya nerves :D
There's alot of comments about PvP in the reviews, how only a few classes are capable of PvP, that's just rubish, all classes are capable of PvP but learning how to use your toon to the full is the biggest challenge WoW has to offer, there's plenty of info on many websites on how to play your character. Each character has it's weakness's and strengh's learn them and you'll be fragging with the best of them, wether in WG, BG's or arena.
My final statment, WoW is what you make of it, often the most fun you can get is when you leave the beaten path and do some exploring, setting your own challenges, wether that's soloing a heroic dungeon boss, farming mounts or climbing a mountain that looks unsurmountable, there's just so much to do, blizz gave you a world what you do in it is up to you.
All the best and have fun.

Having played the beta from it's opening in July, I have had an oppertunity to see what the developers have been hard at work doing since Blizzcon last year. To my surprise, the results are extroindary. As they have stated on many an occasion, they have taken the good from Burning Crusade and ran with it. The quests and storyline are fresh and rarely feel tedious, the environments are stunning and the music really helps you feel immersed in the experience.
Alot of people were dissapointed with Burning Crusade and I can happily say that Wrath of the Lich King has looked back, seen the issues that the previous expansion had and moved in the opposite direction. The Death Knight hero class, which at first to me seemed inappropriate and a possible lore killer, fits in reasonably well with the story and the starting zone really makes you feel as though you are playing the very first hero class.
Some things from the old world have been changed to reflect storyline changes (E.G the removal of Lady Katrana Prestor A.K.A Onyxia from Stormwind and the return of the King.) which is refreshing and makes the game feel alot less static. In addition a new mechanic has been added that allows for a story to progress through questing that changes the environment on a client side level so that only those that have reached that point can see the changes. (An excelent example of this is during the Death Knight starting quests and later in Northrend.) which again makes you feel really immersed in the story that is being told.
This addition to an already amazing game takes the War in Warcraf to a whole new level, while in Northrend you will really feel as though your actions could really save Azeroth. Fans of the lore will also be satisfied with the return of an old villain and the effects it has on the entire world.
I would recommend this expansion for anyone that has played World of Warcraft in the past and enjoyed it, it really does give the game a fresh breath of life!
 Same old, TBC issues October 30, 2009

As a level 75 at the moment, days into the expansion and months into the game as a heavy burning crusade raider I've got a few issues to vent here, This wont be a full review, rather a few things to inform any possible buyers about I wish I'd known before.
The thing that depresses me at the moment going through this so far is the gear, while this may seem like a small issue coming from an obsessive it really is a shame; There is a minuscule amount of models and they are all really dull and uniform, you feel like a soldier in a game whereabout you should should feel a hero. By the end of the Outlands you are covered in lighting and spikes, glows and crystals. Even in the non-raid gear there are splashes of colours, fun, power and a feeling of uniqueness rather than some gray/brown shelter from the cold... and why exactly does being in a chilly landscape make everything there so powerfull? Its beyond inconsistent when you replace an exquisitely crafted thing with something held together with string like the edge of ruin for a huge damage boost.
Luckily this dull uniformity does not manifest the same way in the quests or the majority of the environments - both of which are fairly wonderful so far, though with a few exceptions, which mostly center around dodgy game mechanics. Combat mounts feel strange and unintuitive and as equally un-visceral as most of the game. The storm giant in particular consistently block your view. Stealthing in the zombie disguise in zul'drak is infuriating and every so often a sudden death, respawn or nasty effect will breach the 4th wall and kick you right out of the experience.
Also the amount of dungeons pre-80 is fairly meager in comparison, especially due to their ease, not much more to say about that.
However on the upside the Death Knight starting zone/questline was damn near perfect so there may well be more like it to come to tip the scales back in Wrath's favour. I may post a full review or edit this when I finally reach the end of this colossal game, until then if you enjoy wow its definitely worth a look, just not set your expectations too high and try to forget TBC.

I've only just begun to explore WOTLK but it's a good quality expansion much like TBC was, yet it's distinct from it's predecessor. Any WoW enthusiast will buy this - you can pretty much wait until your around level 60 to do so as there's little benefit from it before the upper levels of play.

I preordered 2 DVDs and received them on the 14th november 2008, which is only 2 days later than release. As someone stated previously it had been sent from Jersey, enhance the delay I guess...
Still would order again from amazon as reliable company.
As for the game itself, if you don't know it yet, let me tell you it's highly addictive, offering a great virtual world. You can fight, loot, make things, buy & sell, play solo or within groups, playing against mobs or other players (pvp)...Just the best game around so far...
