Some interesting views on Wow.
I'm a regular player and have to say that theres nothing that comes close to it as far as mmorpg's go.
And i've played a wide variety of them. Wow is a very polished game now.
The more you play Wow, the more of the game you get to see and the better it gets. Also the game isn't short of humour, something thats sadly lacking in most games today which makes it a pure delight to play and is something thats often overlooked.
I can see how newcomers to the game are put off because of the limits that are put on new players. All a newcomer can really do, is take boreing quests to kill x amount of creatures in order to raise theyre level until they can leave the newbie zones.
Although this introduces the player to the basic game mechanics of the game it is quite boreing especially if you were expecting alot more to begin with.
But, if you stick with the game, you do get your rewards. And as you increase in level the more of the game becomes available to you.
Wow is a solo game to begin with. As a beginner you are unlikely to group with other players simply because you are inexperienced in group play. You will solo play for a while until you raise your levels enough and gain enough play experience where you can group. Then the game becomes a solo / multi player game. This happens at different points for different players.
I have played many long sessions solo and had great fun doing so, likewise i've had many great group adventures.
It's really a player choice to either play solo or grouped. The game doesnt force you one way or the other.
Some quests are group only, but are not mandatory, so you could play entirely solo and i'm sure some players do.
