Let us not forget items and other specialty classes a person can take a part in with this game. In this game as well, you can choose two primary skills to help out your needs and keep you alive, but also earn some money if necessary. Besides the primary skills, there are three secondary skills to help you out on the quest as well. For me, I chose Alchemy and Herbalism. Usually there are two skills that complement each other and these are the two for this. In order to make the potions for alchemy, I must be able to harvest the plants from the ground in which to mix them in. There are also the secondary skills - first aid, cooking, and fishing, which help a person survive if he wishes to explore more of the wilderness. It is always nice to sit down next to a pond or lake and fish a little bit.
Now then, on a final note in the multiplayer area, I will expound upon the necessity of teamwork. This is truly a game where people must make friends and corporate if they wish to attain the level 60's (level 70's with the expansion pack), go on the raids, and rake in the very tasty weapons (orange-level, now that is what I am talking about). Unfortunately I never got to go on the epic raids, I watched as my friends did it, and how if they were not in-tune with each other how the bosses wiped them easily and without delay. Though if they followed more closely to the strategy and stopped being liberal, they could defeat the bosses in a raid. The same thing happened when I was doing the first easy adventure into range-fire chasm. There was no way my teammates and myself could have gotten through there if they did not kill the enemy and at the same time I healed them. It is truly a game where individualism and cooperation must join hand and hand to prosper.
Finally there is an issue about the massive world, and let me tell you it is massive, and it is seamless. I never had to deal with issues of waiting for long and boring loading times. And when I walk from one piece of land to another, I get to enjoy it for how it continues to flow and not how it chocker blocks like a Myst III game. The only times where loading come into play is when you first enter the game, if you go off on raid-like adventure, or if you cross the ocean or the landmasses with the blimp. Other than that, enjoy a massive world that could take hours to walk from tip to tip. Cheating is not an issue, and those who cheat are eliminated with ease. The only noticeable problem may be the occasional bot that spams for gold selling, and they are usually taken care of. But despite the sometimes rude person, the multiplayer experience for World of Warcraft is the best I have seen in the past and in our contemporary era.
Graphics: 9/10
Since this game attempts to make its field of players viable to everyone, it does sacrifice some graphical power. Yet this can be seen as a good thing, because in a world that must interact with so many other players and must constantly live through a high-speed connection line, graphics must be toned down a little or else gameplay would suffer. It is not difficult for the computers of the current day to easily max out the graphical levels of World of Warcraft, and at its maximum setting, the World of Warcraft world still looks quite pleasing to the eye. The spells, the creatures, and the environment itself have been well done and the epic amount of landscape and city architecture that had to go into this game creation was sure brilliance. It is really hard to judge the graphics of a game that has continued to live on through the several years and has had to cope with the ever-changing technological world of video graphics and the hardware inside machinery.
In my opinion, the graphics do this game justice, and had they been better done, well, it would just be extra icing on a cake that tastes quite good already. When looking from the blimp or looking into the eyes of other characters, there is a sense of diligence that the game creators put into this game, and when a game weighs in at over 5 gigabytes of installation material, you know that some hardcore programming was put into this game. I love this game for its sheer breadth, and it will take more huge leaps in gaming design to surpass the level of gaming that this game has accomplished.
