Article: “The Lameness of World of Warcraft”
I have searched far and wide to find an “authentic” article that actually has someone negative to say about WoW.
I will keep my comments to a minimum, go and read the article and tell me what you think? It is true?
The most glaring problem with World of Warcraft, though, is the larger storyline. Lots of video game developers are wrestling with how to shape players’ choices without penning them in. Warcraft’s developers don’t care about that. They don’t tell a story so much as lead you through a theme park. Key figures from the Warcraft mythology mill around like Mickey Mouse at Disney World, waving to visitors. The giant war that’s supposedly raging across the world seems to be stuck in a stalemate—neither side gains an inch of territory, and the generals stand around looking bored. Compare that to a game like The Matrix Online, where major characters hand out new challenges and even die to move the story ahead.

Well It’s good to some people have nothing better to do then whine about games. Nice find, and the article was slightly ammusing.
