Up to level 3....

I strongly agree this game is a canon game.
it was THAT popular, even people who don't play it has herd of WOW.
when it was first out it surprise the audiences. the graphic, the sound, the content and everything.
however the technology has improved so fast, wow was slowly swollen down after years.
having said that a lot of current games tried to copy the ideas from wow.
from graphics, contents, humor....ect.

i may like the game if i played it 8 years ago.
unfortunately there are more options among online games to choose from other than wow.
i can say that wow is not so popular anymore, but it surely created the first genre of the "wow type" game.

i had a chance to play with my friends a year ago. had 2 characters up to lv.10 (i even forget what they were...healer and mage i think ), but due to lack of playing time, and i didn't get attracted by the game, so i stopped playing. wasted 40 bux on it. haha

anyway...it was cool experiencing the game-play.
but subjectively im not interested in wow.
