This game is a good MMORPG game, however after playing it for many months I found this game to be not what it is in the beginning. Let me being with the sound effects and graphics. The sound effects are great and go well with the gameplay. They are really enjoyable and after playing the game for 176 hours, I did not have a problem with the sound effects, so it must be some good sound effects. The graphics are great but even with patch 1.9 there still are graphical issues here and there. The storyline of this game takes place right after WarCraft III, which is good and all but I am wondering what happens when WarCraft IV comes out does this game end or something? Still, it is a great storyline. I really like the details in the quests and everything. It really opens some ideas of what can happen in WarCraft IV and we can get to know each race better by playing for them. This storyline fallows Blizzard's tradition of having excellent storylines in very video game. Now the gameplay is hard to discuss but here we go. At first I do have to admit it sucked. It had some good ideas and everything but it did have a lot of bugs. Then a couple of patches came out and I had good and bad feelings towards the game. There were technical issues and gameplay issue I had experienced. Then after patch 1.9 I gave up playing the game. Patch 1.9 fixed all of the gameplay issues I was having but it did not fix the technical issue that my friend had on his computer. After, patch 1.9 I could not be playing this game any longer; it got really repetitive and was more of the same thing over and over. The replay value is depending how much you play games and how much you like WarCraft and how much time you are looking into spending in a single game. After around 8 months of total subscribing I found it to be boring and stopped subscribing until the expansion pack comes out. I recommend this game only to gamers who want a game can keep them busy for a while and to true WarCraft fans. But be warned you might get the game and say what am I talking about; and you might totally like it. It just depends on the person. But trust me play it for 8 months then tell me how you feel about it! MMORPGs are supposed to offer over 1 year of addicting gameplay in my opinion. However, this game offered less then a year for me. I was a bit disappointed; unlike another friend I have who has been playing it from the beginning so it really depends on you. Go head pick it up and give it a try.
