WoW free trial expired

I have just finished my WoW free trial, and I thought I would write my impressions about WoW.

To be honest, I was petrified of playing WoW when I started the free trial because I was afraid I would become addicted like so many of my high school friends did. My roommates even made fun of me for being a WoW player now. There is a definite social stigma that comes with playing WoW that I think is the result of misunderstanding the game.

The game itself is awesome. I love the scenery. I love the quests and the way that the game gradually builds your skills over time, and that you can go as fast or as slow as you want in the game.

The social aspects of the game are also great! I love being able to talk to someone if I want to and cooperate with others if I want to. But if I want to play on my own I can go roam and explore and do single player quests, which I really think is a great aspect of the game.

I do wish I could have had a bigger, more in depth description of each race and class. It felt a little too random to me and I wish I could have made a more informed decision as I'm rather new to the MMORPG genre.

Overall, a short review of the huge world that WoW is. And while I think that WoW is an amazing game, I will not continue my account. The game is awesome, but the cost/awesomeness ratio is WAY too high over time. I don't feel like giving 15 bucks a month to this game, it's just not worth that much money when I can buy a new PS3 game every 3 months and get more play out of my money.
