So this week for Game Design class we have to play World of Warcraft. In its 10+ years of existence this is the first time I've ever played this game. And you know what? It's honestly not that impressive. Sure I'm only a level 9 Orc Warrior and there is a lot of stuff I won't get to see since I'm playing the trial that lets you reach level 20. Still, I've seen nothing in this game that I can't get from Star Wars: The Old Republic, Guild Wars, or one of the many free to play MMOs.

MMOs are judged by endgame content, as prior expansions are obsolete. Also, WoW is absolute garbage now--you needed to have played during BC/Wrath to experience the epitome of online gameplay.
