World of Warcraft Review

World of Warcraft is a massive online multiplayer game that was released on 23 November 2004. During the first release they have had over 10 million players playing on a daily basis. This was causing servers to be full, and gamers had a hard time getting into the game. When you were in game, it would cause so much latency that it was very hard to do anything within the game. Blizzard, the owner of World of Warcraft, noticed that the servers were struggling with the capability of holding the amount of current members and with loads more trying to enter the game, they had to increase their servers' limit.

They released The Burning Crusade on 17 January 2007, since that expansion they attracted a lot more players, but surprisingly it did not impact the servers. In the late 2008, they released another expansion called The Wrath Of The Lich King on 13 November 2008. During that expansion a lot more players joined, and it was the most famous one they released. The reason that a lot of people joined this expansion was because they released a new race called "Death Knight" that allowed you to be a tank or a DPS spec. Also, they brought out a new raid where you can beat the boss himself "Lich king". On 7 December 2010, they released Cataclysm, but a lot of players started to quit due to how poorly it was made. For example, they released a patch just before the release date of Cataclysm that reduced everyone's health and armour, changed some skills, and mana bars, etc. During this expansion more and more players were leaving. Blizzard started noticing this and released another expansion called Mist of Pandaria.

Mist of Pandaria was released on the 25 September 2012 and contained a lot of interesting things. One of the main featured items in this release, was the ability to obtain a legendary cape that can make you fly over bridges. This allowed you to be able to defeat a boss within a location called "timeless isle", and it gives you great stats depending on what cape you go for tank, healer, or DPS. In late 2014, they released another expansion called Warlords of Draenor. This was not much better than Cataclysm as people started leaving again during this expansion. This expansion was poorly made and people were finding the story behind it did not make sense and seemed to have ruined the game. In mid 2016, they released another expansion called Legion. This was another favourite of many players with the interesting story behind it. Only thing I can say within the story without spoiling what happens is a NPC back from the first expansion does not survive, but the cutscene behind it is heart breaking. On 14 August 2018, they released another expansion called Battle of Azeroth. 

This is one of the Legendary capes you can obtain within Mist of Pandaria 

This is the armour you can obtain within Battles of Azeroth.

The latest expansion was released in late 2020; it is called Shadowlands. Personally, I have not played this one so will not be able to go into much of detail with this, but I have heard that it is really good. You can find the trailer here for the new expansion if anybody would like to take a look!
