Fun

How hard is WoW?

How would I start playing? What are the expansion packs?
How long do I have to play to get good?
Is it like Runescape and Maplestory where you need to grind and spend tons of money and time to get good and have fun?
Or does it take skill like League of Legends?
Is WoW fun and how much free time do you need to play it efficiently?

[quote=ronny278]Steal personal information? Hahahahaha, so naive. I'm merely giving him another option, i'm not forcing him. And I've played on that PS for well over a year and I've yet to have had any information being stolen.

Oh, and the ToS rules can be bent so the PS i've mentioned isn't illegal, they don't have gear for donations so they aren't selling Blizzard's product and so it's legal.[/quote]

Thank you for the option but I've always had a value for the real server otherwise I wouldn't be playing on Scania in maple but ty

It's the best way to get a free experience of WoW cataclysm in a decently populated server. Unless of course you want to try MoP then you need retail.[/quote]

[quote=LEGENDairy]I believe since the Mists of Pandaria patch, any vanilla version of the game automatically gets Burning Crusade & Wrath of the Lich King.[/quote]

[quote=PlagueDM]You would just start playing preferably with a friend that knows their way around and can help you out a little bit. It is a little bit confusing to figure out. I believe there is probably a package deal where you can get the Battle Chest, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm all together for like 80 bucks. After that you need to buy Mists of Pandaria if you want to get access to all the new areas and be able to level to 90. You do need to grind to reach max cap but there is no need to spend irl money. All the best gear is acquired through in game points which you earn by doing raids or battlegrounds. It takes skill like League of Legends if you're going to pvp and pve efficiently. It's very fun when you know what you're doing and get into it and you don't need a whole lot of free time there's plenty of stuff to do for lower levels but when you're max level it's a whole new world. Max level isn't super hard to achieve either. You could reach it within a month or less of playing around 3 hours a day.[/quote]

Good response ty
Is it possible to buy the expansions at different levels?
Will I get addicted to the game (willing to buy the expansions and pay for future months) playing for like 1 week?
From what I know its 15$ a month?
