Game has bad graphics, and started getting boring after just a few days of playing. Don't get why u'd pay monthly for a game like this, when Guild Wars is alot better and only pay one time for each game.

Extra Info

There is also a World of Warcraft Board Game published by Fantasy Flight Games and a World of Warcraft Trading Card Game published by Upper Deck Entertainment.

Many quests and monsters through the early and middle stages of gameplay can be conquered alone without the help of other players, particularly if the player's character is higher level than his opponents.

The game allows all users to play together, regardless of their operating system.

In patch 1.6, players were given the opportunity to plunder the first new 40-player raid dungeon added since launch: Blackwing Lair.

In June of 2005 it was reported that a child had died due to neglect by her World of Warcraft-addicted parents

The South Park episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" prominently featured World of Warcraft through machinima animation.

The September 22, 2006 episode of Stargate Atlantis, The Return Part 1, featured a scene where Dr. Weir distracts geeky scientist Bill Lee by telling him she too is a fan of World of Warcraft.
