Long time WoW player and MMO reviewer MikeB decides to travel back in time and see the current game through the eyes of a new player since Cataclysm will be bringing (thanks to this video, a much needed) change in the low level quest experience. 

 

A hilarious look at what a new player has to go through (both the game and its community)  when playing this game.

Very entertaining I like this guy. I cracked up when he showed the sliders for WoW and replaced one of them with a "number of kids" slider lol

Absolutely loved the Howling Fjord part, first time I've ever laughed at something WoW-related.

I'm free on Friday.

It was fun the first time through. You get to explore and see all the areas with a fresh eye. But after you 2cd or 3rd alt hits level 50 it's like BAMMM! gotta switch into grind gear until max level and then start working on gear...again...

Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

This is actually why I have been debating on quitting. Because if you are a new player - that stuff really does happen , often ... which is why they normally quit before level 10.

asherons call was an amazing game :) .  Yeah - really to me what it is , people in WoW honestly do not care about each other .... at all. It's a dog eat dog world.

From level 15 to 80 you can just do random dungeons now.

It's friggin awesome.

If you quit Wow like a year ago then you might want to try it again because the instant random dungeons are a refreshing change from quest grinding.

Plus you get all the great lewts.

Don't even mention WoW and Asheron's Call in the same context. Asherons Call was about freedom to explore the world and do whatever the hell you wanted where as in WoW you are funelled into a squirrel wheel. It is the most dumbed down MMORPG in existance...

loved the video and it showed quite a few problems WoW is encountering (boring quests, ganking, stupid people , etc...)

glad to see the love for Asherons Call still alive! but ya i must continue on my quest for similar games sadly, i guess to me (as well as a majority i'm sure) if you meet like minded people in any game and have a blast playing with them then it will always be an enjoyable experience and amazing, but if you run into no one or just well...you saw the video then you just seem to notice the kill x get y so on grind and well...there you have it.

This guy cracked me up, I actually cried when he got in to Barrens.

 

Keep it up!
