World of Warcraft Battle Chest
Not only is this « game » PAGAN (!!!) like all fantasies, but it is also SATANIC (BAPHOMET Belt Buckle Satan), and teaches children to disrespect and disregard JESUS and his MIRACLES. According to my stepdaughter, the game lets players use a MAGICK SPELL (!!) that lets them WALK ON WATER just like the LORD!!! This is the ultimate in blasphemy. How is a CHILD supposed to understand the PROFOUNDNESS of the LORD’s MIRACLES if HE can just log onto the interwebs and do those same MIRACLES himself?!?! The game maker’s anti-family LIBERAL bias is proved also, by the fact that now they have made my 16 years old stepdaughter rebelious and forced her to DISRESPECT me after I took this « game » away from her for it being ungodly. Children are not supposed to think for themselves. WHAT ABOUT JESUS?!?!? This is inducitive of all of LIBERAL culture, trying to make Children independent thinkers. AMERICA dosent need « critical » thinkers, because all they do is criticise GOD. I’ll bet obama lets his children play this trash. The game makers blatent SATANISM is evident in the name of their company. Blizzard Entertainment? The Norsemen belived that HELL was cold. Need I say any more?

If you’re looking for a good single player game, or enjoy sitting aorund for hours talking to people you don’t know on the internet, WoW might be right for you. Otherwise steer clear and save yourself a boatload of cash.
Leveling up to 70 can be fun, there is enough to do to avoid grinding at least with your first character. Once you’re there though, the game screeches to a bloody halt.
PvP is lackluster, pointless, and wholly unenjoyable.
Raids are enjoyable if you like sitting around for hours.
Every character in late game is identical both in equipment and abilities for a given class.
Blizzard also decided to completely ruin Warcraft’s back story too.
Play something else.

This may be a wonderful game. Or it may not be. Sometime next week I may find out. There were problems loading the game from the discs; that took two days to resolve, what with the limited hours the Blizzard tech support desk is available. And now that it’s loaded, it is on its second day of downloading required patches. I have a DSL connection, but due to a number of factors the tech support desk couldn’t help me with (or maybe was giving me the runaround on) it is downloading at dial up speeds. When you have several Gb to download – and the accumulated patches really are that big – this is going to take a while.
As for the package as a whole, the two « bonus » guides are miniature versions of the originals, which means the many graphics and especially the tables and maps are of very inferior quality to the original. I had to resort to a magnifying glass to read some of the text.
Since this is an online, pay-to-play game, the registration process required an upfront credit card, PayPal, or game card account. I inquired about this, since the box implies you get 30 days free with the purchase of the game (which, by the way, is slipping away while my computer downloads all the patches) and I received a disingenuously worded reply about avoiding interruption of game play time when the trial period runs out. You pay at the beginning of each subscription period and all the options except the game card renew automatically unless you cancel. Thus Blizzard gets their money even if you don’t want to keep playing, unless you manage to make that unseen deadline to cancel the subscription.
Finally, I must say, that as I have periodically monitored the status of the « realms » (areas where your character is assigned to play)over the last few days, it appears that they are out of service a lot – at least once every three or four days. Sometimes they are out for hours. I rather doubt Blizzard gives you credit for those times, either.
So, think hard about whether you want to spend money on this. The Amazon price is not discounted, so you may be able to find it cheaper at a local retailer. The books included aren’t much of a bargain, given their poor quality, and you can find all the information in them on online forums, so you may get a much better deal buying the basic program and the upgrade separately. Finally, if you do buy it, realize you won’t be able to play it right away. Between installation issues and the required patch download times, it will be days or longer before you can play, and you’ll need to leave your computer tied up downloading the patch files during most of that time.
On the whole: not recommended

At one point in Warcraft characters are asked to use a device on a prisoner until the prisoner releases a certain location. You are told it’s OK for your character to torture as you are not bound by restrictions. The item you use to torture (as stated in game), « inflicts incredible pain ». The human character you torture pleads for the player to stop. Just something to think about.
