I just wanna post my opinion about World of Warcraft and a few screenies!

Ok, as for my opinion.

As you may or may not know, World of Warcraft is an MMORPG, (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). It does cost somewhat more than pocket change a month, but as do all the others and well worth it

You start out and take control of one character. Many many different types of them. And you go out and do quests or hunt bad guys to lvl up. And every even lvl you get to purchase new power or attacks.

You of course, get to team up with random people and go hunt or do quests as shown above. You get a max of 5 people per team. This way enhances the game a lot because you get to see what everyone else can do besides just yourself.

This game is greatly artistic,  that is, it doesn't rely on high polygon count, which doesn't at all take away from its beauty. See Below.

...

This shot is pretty much how the game is all the way trough even though if your just running, which brings me to my next point.

This game is HUGE. The maps are incredibly spansive, with no load times in between them. I can't exactly give an example but I'll try.

If just running straight to the other side of the map, about 5 minutes. But then of course thats straight across. And now add about 50 of these maps.

But not everything like that picture is pretty, heres a small battle I picked with a lone wolf  Grin

...

And now for death, I just died while writing this... odd...  Grin

So I'll grab a quick screen shot now. When you die, you spawn at a cemetary, which you'll be greeted by the following person. You can either choose to run back to your body, or just have this person revive you right there.

...

And one more shot for good measure  Grin
The game figures out what time you have on your computer, and then changes the day or night setting to coordinate with that. This was taken litle past midnight or so.

Awesome feedback

But I remind you, if it had those kind of graphics, imagine looking at a city in this game, it would destroy you, with hundreds of people and such

Op, just saw your sig, your the guy who blows all his money into his computer, I just dont know how you can afford it, but for everyday people, it will hurt theirs

Those graphics are actually quite good.  The game is a fantasy type game, so graphics that are more fantasy themed fit the game better.  Call of Duty does have good graphics, but it is a totally different genre of game.
