World of Warcraft reviews and complaints

i need cd-key for warcraft III reign of chaos

i just found this post and it seems fishy. if this is true then more should be seeing this error if we did the same quests. but i looked at the pictures and i noticed some discrepancies. there is a slight change in the textures which means these were faked. sorry to say but if you are telling the truth then you should tell blizzard ent through the help bug report.

I played WOW for 2.5 years but when I moved from Texas to Georgia, I could not access my account. When I called Blizzard, they said my son would have to call so he did. After 3 months of trying to get my account back, I stopped playing. This is a rip off - even though I had payed for the upgrades through Cataclysm they wanted me to start all over again. Not a chance!

there is a drwaf named addlenald and me wont stop following me no matter where i go me help me with stuff when i dont want him to and he added me to his friends list when i diddnt wanted to be on it hes really bugging me plz make him stop

sincerely::: myminionkill

i have two accounts on warcraft game.one RAZKING its stollen by another player who transfer to an battle net account.i contact a game master many times to solved thys problem but they ignore me.why they do this?second account BORADA its also stollen by somebody.i complain aggain but for nothyng.i follow your instruction step by step.i scan my computer to fint a troyan virus used by another player to stollen my accounts but y dont find one.i complain aggain but the same situation.they ignore me.why?y must to receive an answear from you to know what to do.y hard working for increase level for each caracther .y play honnest and sincerely and y dont have an bad action to annother account.you can check.please help me.thank you

I want to close my accout with warcraft thay said to submit a ticket and I did so far my account is not closed. I can not stand this game and no longer want to play . how the hell do you get them to delet your account. what a scam place. richard rager.

you probably been hacked a few of my friends got banned because of a hacker or your mom knows best is right that you might have violated a term of use

First off WoW is indeed addictive, but Blizzard themselves have even posted things in game telling people to go outside and hang with their friends. Kids are the way they are now not because of games, but because they're spoiled. It's the parents that need to get a clue.

As for the complaint: Make an alt character and play it for awhile. If you go back to your old toon and he's still harassing open up a harassment ticket. That's what they're there for.

If you feel your account has been compromised, please send an email to us at WoWAccountAdmin@Blizzard.com with your account name and details on your situation.

It happened to me. My account got hacked and NOBODY has my password and it wasn't written down anywhere so it must have been Blizzard that "gave" it to them. I started receiving emails from some Chinese site (I looked them up) pretending to be Blizzard and trying to get me to log on with their link but I ignored them. Next thing I know I'm locked out of my account and Blizzard is accusing me of trying to sell of my toons. I got them to restore my account but I didn't check my "secondary email" which the hacker had changed. So a month later they hacked me again and this time I COULD NOT recover it through Blizzard. With no way to get Blizzard to talk to me, I had to cancel the payment though my credit card to close my account.
Adios Blizzard. After 8 years of play, thanks for all the frustration. I will never play one of your games again.

lol...sounds to me like your son unknowingly opened spam mail from people who aren't blizzard. Then they got into your computer and basically hacked it inside and out and stole a lot of your personal info. Thats why your card was charged so much, it wasn't blizzard. They never ever do that. Blizzard wouldn't run a scam on its own game...they are trying to combat spammers, not be spammers. and to the guy who's acct got closed...There is no way that the hacker can get your card info thru your acct info. most people's accts get hacked thru facebook or email now...they find out your facebook login...then they ask your friends for hints...etc or you open a spam email that looks like offical blizz. email but its not...you can tell by the terrible grammar and misspelling all throughout the message. so truly you need to be able to tell fake from real in this situation and its not idiot proof either.

I totally agree with you regarding this scam they are running. They sent my son over 250 emails in 3 days accusing him (he's 13) of hacking and third party use. I called the number they gave only for them to say they were too busy to talk to me and for me to send an email and then hung up. I emailed them but I have the feeling if these people are too stupid to talk to you on the phone there odds of being able to read is nil to none. My son has not used this account since Sept. 2009 because he hasn't a computer since then. They even continue to charge our bank accounts that we have had to cancel 4 debit cards already because they someone continue to find out the new debit card numbers. People need to stay as far away as possible from these [censor]s.

Hahaha it's true I agree with pi$$ed off consumer, He should log out delete his toon and account, throw away his computer, and take up reading or something similar to that, start it simple like the beano or Gruffalo or something! If he don't have any level 80's after 5 years he must be a little bit dim, my little brother (who's 12 btw) has 3 level 80's and he's only been playing 1 year. Better still get a new boyfriend, he sounds like a lost cause.

wow your boyfriend played wow for 5 years and doesn't have a lvl 80? Maybe he shouldn't play that game, because most people who have played wow that long have like 5-6 lvl 80's...but its not very hard to get to lvl 80 now because blizz made it so so super ez...I'm a girl who's boyfriend got her into wow as well, so I know where your coming from, I've played for 5 years too but I have 3 lvl 80's and 2 lvl 70's and a lot of other characters...Maybe just tell your boyfriend to stop playing wow because he sucks at it? Cause he should have made it to the highest point in the game after 5 years of playing...It can't be that hard

Did this ever get resolved? Cuz all I can say is... you were 54, only a few levels to 58, which gets you to Outlands, and you can blow through those quests in like 3 days. Then Northrend is super easy, too. Plus you're a druid, those are easy to level. Then you can set up nights to raid together, how romantic :P

I must be bored at work today.

The first time I downloaded the game, I also had to wait for about half a day to get all the patches downloaded. But understand, it IS a multiplayer game with over 10 million people spanning dozens of servers. Every time additional content is needed or an error needs fixed, Blizzard can't send out software to each and every subscriber and let them fix the issues at their leisure. Most people would never update the information themselves, the problems would still persist, and the game would(ultimately) fall apart. When a person first installs world of warcraft(on any computer) you have to catch up w/ the rest of the players(patch wise) and download everything that the subscribers download AS they come out. I assure you, AFTER that initial download, its(more or less:) smooth sailing. Patches are weeks, if not months in between and is actual a great benefit because they are able to add more ingame content(without paying for more, unlike xbox live) and they're able to get all of their subscribers updates as soon as they log into the service. World of warcraft is such a large game, that any other method of updating the game for the players would be an IT nightmare... Not to mention a customer service nightmare, a sales and marketing nightmare, etc. Now, as far as the game being different from the free trial: It is, actually you're able to do so much more than what's allowed with the free trial, including chat, guild organization, trade, and a multitude of other cool little perks and benefits that just aren't available until the full version is purchased. Now, before you wonder if I'm a salesman, secret advocating for Blizzard, I'll admit I have my problems with the service from time to time myself. The game is beautifully rendered, but can eat a lot of your computers processing power if you're using an onboard graphics card(which some people have to. Not everyone can afford to have an Uber gaming computer... But that doesn't mean people don't enjoy gaming like we had one;). I HATE Tuesday 'Server Down' days. Every Tuesday, from around 6am(Pst) to 11am(Pst) World of Warcraft USUALLY shuts down for maintenence. My big complaint is why can't they do this once a month, or twice a month... But once a week?

Other great boons t0 the service include being able to log into your account from anyone's computer that has world of warcraft installed(providing you don't have more expansions than they do), I've had to talk to customer service a small handful of times and have always had excellent, understandable customer service. My account was hacked and i was locked out for two days, but the folks at Blizzard helped me get back in the game, and even got me everything I had lost due to these "hacker/farmers" that steal your account for no other reason than to farm as much gold as possible to sell on the internet(pathetic in a whole new way).

Over all, if you're a gamer and you want a game that's excellent for unlimited adventure and has a great interactive community, then give WOW another try. Just be patient through the downloading, make sure your computer has the requirements they need(on a side note, if you do experience lag issues, then go into your video menu ingame and lower your settings, even at lower settings, WOW is a beautiful game), and give it another shot. I think(hope) that you'll see why it is that 10 million+ people DO play the game.

If you are just now starting World of Warcraft, then perhaps you should go buy the game itself, plus its additional expansions. This won't stop your patches, but it'll cut down the time by alot, as the patches for all of BC are included in the Wrath expansion installation CDs.

It does take a while to down load the first time, but after that, it is not so bad. This is because it is such a complicated game.

Well, if you knew anything about On Line gaming, in particular WOW, you would know that it is ONLINE only and has been out for a while now. If you don't have Broadband stay away from it and if your broadband is that slow you should get rid of it..LOL.
This game does have a lot of patches, plus the expansion packs. I can't think of a single on line game including the free ones I play that don't have a bunch of patches to them and even expansion packs, So I recommend you come back later when you have gained some knowledge of computers and on-line games.

warcraft has ripped me of nearly two thousand two years ago. BANK GOT ALL BACK FOR ME Today the rip off another 150.00 according be statement. I DON'T PLAY ON LINE GAMING .NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL! THEY SOME HOW GET CARD NUMBERS

lol those $1 charges on your card are authorizations to make sure your card works...they will be removed by the next business day. You should know this about banks...

I have been playing WOW for 4 years... The only time I ever had a charge of 1.00$ is when I had insufficient funds! and as soon as I moved money over on my debit card, those charges were removed! Your bank probably told you that when you complained about it to them also! Blizzard Inc is incredible, customer service is outstanding, In game help is also outstanding, and their security is top notch!

Sorry that you had such a problem with your account, but it is not Blizzards fault.

World of Warcraft Game cards, are the size of Bank Cards, and people are choosing to put them in boxes, approximately the size of Kraft Dinner Boxes. People are beginning to complain about how people are killing the trees, and here, they are putting small cards, in boxes Over 5x the size of the game cards. There are enough trees getting killed throughout our world, for people's own selfishness ! And this just proves my point even more. I think, that WoW people should just hand out the cards, and not waste the trees that keep us, humans, and animals alive. Without trees producing Carbon Dioxide, We would not be alive, to make the dumb boxes to carry the Pre-Paid Game Cards. ! And to conclude my reasoning, I still think, that people who produce the cards should just hand them out as cards, or Even on a receipt like they do with Phone Cards most of the time. :)
(looking at the photo i have posted to go along with this ...Complaint, The card on the front, Is the exact size of the card inside of the box. )

I have been playing World of Warcraft for about a year now and wanted to make sure everyone who considers buying the game is fully informed. If you choose to play, then you have to choose a server to play on. You should expect that your server, just like everyone else's, will be down for maintenance at least one day per week. Additionally, you should expect significant delays in the late afternoon and evenings logging on to the game and in accessing the more popular portions of the game once you have logged on. In fact, some evenings you may not be able access the most popular portions of the game at all. The unfortunate bottom line is that Blizzard does not allocate sufficient resources to ensure smooth consistent game play and these problem are only getting worse as time goes on.

hi i been playing for a while now an i always seem to get messages from you when im playing an i go the the websites that yall
tell me to go an set up battle.net protecting code or anything an it happens to me all the time
an now i get one from you guys saying that yall have 7 people who compliant about me
its just werid that i always get messages from blizzard even when i do nothing wrong
idk why i got this last message when all i do is play the game right
i help people an soicalize in a good manner because after all it is just a game
i thought i would swing this by yall..
thx

Drew a line in the sand and said enough is enough today. After 4 years, I have canceled my WoW account.

No longer able to enter Dalaran without my PC crashing due to video issues, and "patch" 3.3 at 680Mb, I am no longer willing to accept the hardware requirements needed to play this game.

I suggest Blizzard create realms that are either level 60 or level 70 capped. If not capped, and forced to play on level 80 realms with level 60 / 70 characters, every day will be a gank-fest.

So, I am taking my $360 (two accoutns) and will be looking to spend my money elsewhere.

I bought a trial CD and once I had installed it it kept wanting me to restart installing it.
Plus I had paid good money for this trial and I hope blizzard get my complaint and do something about this such as give me a refund or anything else that would satisfy me.

yours discustidly, Bradley Musson

WTF have you done with twinks?!?!?
You have totally annihilated them and now your not giving out refunds?!?!?
What kind of multi milliondollar company are you?
You ###.

This game is a ###ing disgrace. i have played it sinfce release and overt that time have managed to complete the majority of there end game content. i used to play heavily but over the past years [ since wrath ] have eased of on my gaming time as i have rl concerns. my friends tho continue to play to there hearts content having no job / career. now. i have finnished work at 6pm ... come home. changed not even had time for dinner then went out to the pub with friends to watch the spain portugal game. after the game. much to the annoyance of my friends [ my gf is already pissed off becuse of this ] i have come home to play wow a bit since i rarelty have any time and i want tosee the end game content off ToC and ICC which after a 8 month break i havent seen. i come home. sit down and get told the server dis going to be down for at least 12 hours. so let me sum this up. m8s think im pathetic. one time this month i have time to play this game I PAY FOR! and im restriced from playting it. this is at 11pm gmt. so its not as if its in the wee small hours. surely this ### upgrade should be carried out when people ... i mean REAL people are at work or school and while the slacker mass's are sleepiung rather then when you people who keep the world going and actually have comitments outside wow aer finding the odd hour to play in the elitest world blizzard have constructed.
for the record i have 7 lvl 70+ alliance and 3 lvl 70 + hord. i have played this game from release and atm am questioning why. my words of advice is that this game is heavily adictive [ look at the anger shown in this post to see the pasion ] it is unlikely i will get another chanvce to play this game for over 2 hgours ahgain this month and for that i feel cheated as i pay £9 a month to play so when blizard decide to remove a server from population so they can ### about with it i feel as if i have someone taking a ### on my face.

anyoen who doesnt already play wow and is considering it. DO NOT PLAY WOW! BLIZZARD IS A VIRUS WHO WILL EXPLOIT YOU AS MUCH ADS THEY CAN!

i am disgusted with myslef for playtign for so long.
i felt the need to rant. this is less a complaint that violence spilling to the surface while sitting at a keyboard.

many thanks for reading through this extended herecy.

Having played WOW for many years and having problems with some of the patches, I finally hit a major flaw with a patch. Blizzard said I had been hacked and wanted every single bit of identity proof I could supply before they would even think about reinstating my account which they stopped. I told them things no hacker could possible know and still they would not reinstate me and were very rude and so I told them to delete all information they had on me as I didnt trust their security. They told me that my information would be taken to a shedder. I told them destroy all ! I never wanted anything to do with them again ! A week later they emailed me again offering me my account back. How rude they are and how insular. Please do NOT buy the game as it is not worth the effort, they couldnt care less about their customers. If anyone wants any more details I will provide it.

Well I've been downloading updates for 2 days now after just installing this game. I finish the 1st download, go to play the game but there's another update to install, which took 17 hours. After that had finished I thought that must be it, I can now play this god forsaken game; but no! There is yet another download to install which is going to take another 17 hours to install. It seems to me like this is never going to end. I have uninstalled the game and thrown it in the bin. I have wasted allot of time trying to play this game, and from what I hear it really isn't worth the wait. Anyone still waiting for updates now, seriously, just get rid of this game. You are wasting your time. Blizzard are full of inconvenience and I will never be buying any of their titles again.

That stupid Boots guy in Area 52 in World of Warcraft has been dead today and yesterday and i have a quest to turn in to him
