Its an ok game. It used to be great and the standard by which other MMO's are measured. Its very easy to get into and can be a huge investment of time if you are not careful. As time progresses WOW is looking more dated, and is being challenge by more modern games. That being said, those games have significantly higher system requirements and might not run on some ageing computers.
As a MMO this game also has a monthly fee. Blizzard is pretty good about adding new content to their games, but its still 15 dollars a month that could be spent on other games.
What's great about it: Fun, low system requirments
What's not so great: Monthly Fee, Cartoon Artwork, Huge Time Commitment
