Overall a phenomenon in the gaming world. Connecting to millions of other real live players is its crowning achievement. With two expansions now even the highest lvl player(besides group raids) will find something to do. Blizzard even released a bound hard copy of the beastary due to the huge amount of foes you can encounter. The weapons and armor are no different since they can not only be bought from merchants or found on enemies, they can be purchased from other players individually or at the local auction house, not to mention, if your skilled you can make them yourself. Its drawbacks are first and most important- many people struggle finishing quests since they require help. Unlike games like elder scrolls 3 and 4 the graphics are more toon like and you seem strapped to two or three areas of exploration at a time because of your lvl.
What's great about it: connection with millions of players, endless world
What's not so great: graphics can be disappointing with the cost and tech today
