As every serious MMORPG reviewer knows, it takes 5,000 hours of played time to be able to really judge a game. ;) Ed Zitron jokes aside, I've been playing World of Warcraft for over 5 years now (beta included), and the 5th anniversary of its release is near. As the game has matured a lot in that ...

— worldofmatticus.com — There’s a new Warcraft side to the community. It’s not really a Wiki. It’s not a directory.... It’s not a news site or a blog. It’s nothing like those. Welcome to Epic Advice ! The premise is simple. You ask questions and you receive answers from other players who might know. It’s entirely ... (more) Interview with Epic Advice

My thoughts on Battle.net.

— naissasrage.com — As noted a couple posts back I'm not actively playing WoW atm due to all sorts of... factors, but I have been looking at the WoW news when I've had a chance and I've noticed the Battle.net thing. I made the tragic mistake of posting something on a forum ... (more) My thoughts on Battle.net.

Short recap of some blogposts
BullCopra — ... makes a very nice and -I think- precise review of WoW after 5 years of gameplay, pointing out the good and the bad and the ugly, though being IMO a bit soft on the bad side. For example he doesn't point to the gearing game which has changed the end game over the time, even though he mentions that the content is too easily overcome to the hardcore gamers.

Player Versus Developer — Tobold has written a five year re-review of WoW, and has this to say on content: While there are certainly some bottlenecks, you can play at least 4 different characters (2 Alliance, 2 Horde) from level 1 to the level cap while repeating only very little content. What Is New Content? WoW currently offers eight starting areas (1-10/12ish) and probably seven paths to level 20 (both Mulgore and Durotar feed into The Barrens and Stonetalon, and I'm not sure there's enough content there to reach level 20 twice without repeating ...
