Well, this is the first review I've ever written and I have to say, I'm very impressed by what I've found in the new expansion. I know a lot of people who are caught up in Warhammer won't even both to look at this game or the reviews, but I have to say if you're looking into getting into an MMO for the first time this is it. I really have no regrets in pre-ordering this and giving it a try and no complaints aside from the challenge. The game as not failed in one aspect for me or any of my friends. People going about complaining about Warhammer being so much better, easier to level, runs better, etc., need to knock it off. I understand different people enjoy different things and thats why it's a review and not a poll to see what game you should buy. For newbies and veterans alike, the game delivers a huge world of new terrain and quests to explore as well as the original dungeons and zones for the beginners! The Deathknight class can be overpowered, yes, but not to the point where it breaks the game. There graphics are indeed cartoonish in many ways, but the animation for them compared to most other games is superior. It's a VERY easy to use interface and the option to manage and add add-ons make it even easier to use! Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun with Warhammer, but the game just didn't do it for me. In my opinion, when you start a game for the first time it's going to be amazing if you get a group of friends to play with you as well, but if you're looking for an MMO to try out by yourself, this is one great for starters and even better if a few people start to play at the same time, letting everyone take advantage of the refer-a-friend concept as soon as possible! Cartoony graphics aside, the game is polished to perfection and so entwined with lore that its almost ridiculous. If you've ever played any of the Warcraft games and even slightly enjoyed it, this is the game to get for not only fun, but nostalgia as well. While the options to customize your character isn't great, since most of the armor is sought after by many of the same classes, the ability to change characteristics is still there, as well as talent points that can be reset at will with a bit of gold! Overall I recommend new players to try their hand at this MMO and veterans to come on back and see what Blizzard is up to. I can't guarantee you won't be disappointed, but I can guarantee that I think it's definitely worth the money!
