User:Thetracker3/Wow Disscusion

WoW
Ok I’m not going to rant about just one of the different views, I’m going to talk about both sides here. There are several topics I will talk about: Graphics, the Races, Game play and the Original Games.

Game play
The game play might not be the best I've ever seen, but I have seen better. WoW's game play is basically an Open Role Playing style. It is in RTS, which adds some good things and other bad ones. One of the upsides to the game being in RTS is the fact that you health will keep going up if you just sit and do nothing, while a downside is the fact that RTS causes you to rush some decisions in battle. There are a lot of "jobs" you can do to earn some cash in WoW. Some of my favorite being: Fishing, Leatherworking, Tanning, and Healing (making bandages). Fishing is a REALLY great way to make some cash right as soon as you start. Things like Tangled Line and Tattered Cloth are worth 1 silver so be sure to pick those up when you "catch" them (because silver is like 100 copper), but after you get like 10 or 15 levels they appear less frequently. Leatherworking and Tanning go hand-in-hand. You need leather to work, so you've got 2 choices 1) buy it from somebody, or 2) get it yourself. If you have Tanning without Leatherworking then you've got 1 choice: Sell the stuff you can, there is no other choice. So I reccomend getting both (if you want to) so you can make a bigger profit.

Graphics
As with the game play i have seen better graphics then WoW's. The graphics mostly depend on your computer, the better the computer the better the graphics. My computer wasn't the best, certain parts of the characters would dissappear for a sec or 2, and some parts wouldn't be there at all. However, if I were to upgrade my computer, maybe throw $500-600 into it, I would have the best graphics one can achieve on WoW. The graphics are pretty good on a low-level video card, but as I have said before the better your computer, the better the graphics. Its not really a bad set of graphics its just the lower your video card the less of your character you will see.

Original Games
The original games were better because they were how Blizzard started and they werent some scheme to compete with like Guild Wars, Runescape or anyother MMORPGs, though they were competing with other computer games that had online capability, none of which come to mind at the time. Warcraft 3 was a really great game, with its user creatable units, triggers, and maps. I had made plenty of maps and published them online. You can't do that (of course) on WoW, because it is already online. Im pretty dang sure that Blizzard could have made loads more money if they went just a little bit farther by making Warcraft 4 sooner or maybe they could have spent more marketing money on Starcraft 2, you know like putting ads in magazines, on the internet, or on T.V. I mean think of how much money they would make with starcraft 2 comming out sooner. They are probably making tons of money right now with how many people are subscribing to WoW for 10 bucks a month! That seems like quite a fine to play for 30 days. I acutally have played the game before and not just the 10 day free trial. The 10 day trial was good, but the entire game is so much more expansive; you get so many more items, quests, areas, and you can actually go higher than level 20! All for 10 bucks a month! Best bargain ever devised! And think just how many people are playing even as you read this. Multiply that by 10, and thats how much money Blizzard makes from these mindless zombies that practically throw their cash at Blizzard's feet.
