wow is super addicting but i love it, ive been playing blizzard games since the lost vikings, but really started when warcraft 1 came out, blizzard is a amazing gmae company and the only company that puts out ONLY good games, case in point: they scratched an entire game(warcraft adventures) because it didnt meet up to blizzards expectations, now thats true dedication, unlike other comapnys that will push a game for porfit blizzard has stayed true to there roots and only put out titles worthy of there comapny game, bravo blizzard you have been one of the only mainstays in my life and i love you guys for it -BassAle lvl 70 hunter allaince eonar
