Reviewers Pile On World Of Warcraft Beta

Posted by simoniker on from the best-game-evah dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for its 'Pile On!' feature discussing Beta impressions so far on Blizzard's long-awaited MMO title, World Of Warcraft. Reactions range from the effusive ("I'm more convinced than ever that this game may finally be the first truly mass-market MMO") through the delighted ("I'm... completely in love with World of Warcraft"), to the ecstatic ("World of Warcraft delivers just what people are expecting: a tight, fun MMOG from a trusted developer.") Elsewhere, a WorldOfWarcraft.com forum discussion has a Blizzard representative mentioning release estimates of early this summer are likely wrong: "Definitely not July. As you know, we never set release dates, but you can expect the beta to run for another 5+ months." But, more importantly, does anyone _not_ like World Of Warcraft?

    the first truly mass-market MMO

    Seriously, guys, can we stop appending to acronyms?

    RPG was okay. MMORPG was obscure, but acceptable. But what, now we have MMMMORPG?

    No, no, those are called Koreans. It's easy to confuse them with Starcraft players; in fact several newer dictionaries list them as synonyms.
