I bought this pack just after the Lich King expansion pack (which I haven't needed yet) came out. I have thoroughly enjoyed levelling up my characters and exploring the game world as I learned my way about and how to play to a reasonable standard.
There is no doubt that the game maps are huge and it does take some time getting about. This is offset by the fun level of the travelling - flying over different maps on a gryphon or hippogriff can be very entertaining and WOW even has different skies and weather according to the time of day! In addition some of the quests can be quite amazing - the one where you kill Tethyr in Theramore is quite different from most of the questing within the game and great fun.
To be honest after the first week or so I stopped using the enclosed guides and I haven't yet got to the point of needing the Burning Crusade because my characters aren't high enough level. Despite all those web sites saying that you can level your character to 70 or 80 within a few days if you're new to the game it probably won't happen that fast. You're much better taking time to get to know the game areas and enjoy playing it. I've got to the stage of using online levelling guides some of the way and just grabbing every quest in sight and doing what I want the rest of the time.
WOW is very addictive and there are so many different things to do in it that it'll be some time before most players get bored with it. However before you start playing there will be very large downloads - mine were well over 1 GB in total and took several evenings to complete. Patience is the key here and once the downloads were complete and I was able to play I found it to be well worth the effort.
You don't have to pay to play right away - the game in this box is free for the first month and then your credit card will be charged or you can buy the 60 day credit card from Amazon or one of the WOW distributors in the high street. So you've plenty of time to decide for yourself.

addictive
»
Let me start by saying I have played World of Warcraft (WoW) for nearly two years now. Wow is by far the most fun game i have ever come across. The one thing that does put a damper on it sometimes is the amount of time bad players can cost you and your group when doing some of the harder content at end game, it's amazing how many people can't figure out that fire is bad and when you're about to explode running over to hug the healer isn't a great idea. Luckily that is a fairly small portion of the population and the majority of people you meet are enjoyable and fun to play with. Solo minded people WILL NOT like this game.
The battle chest itself is actually cheaper than classic and BC by themselves plus you get the guides as that added little bonus. For anyone considering starting this is the way to go.

Amazing game!
»
I am not a gamer at all, but my husband got addicted to this game and insisted I try it. It is really a fun game! The programmers who made it must be tops in their field because there are very few glitches or bugs and the game-play is very intuitive. The detail is just amazing - from stars in the sky to footprints on the ground, they haven't left out any little thing. You really become part of this imaginary world.
Even though a large part of this game involves killing members of the other faction as well as various other computer-generated beasts, this is not a mean-spirited game. It's difficult to be successful unless you team up with others and cooperate. I have seen a lot of very altruistic, helpful, and generous behavior from other players. There are always a few dorks around, too, of course, but for the most part this game seems to bring out the chivalry in its players. I'd recommend this game for age 13 and up.

Great game, not as hard as EQ, more relaxing
»
played Everquest for about 9 years, loved it but it becomes frustrating trying to continuously level and buy new adds. Finally gave up trying to keep up, it was like trying to get yourself out of quicksand al the time.
WOW is refreshing, raising tradeskills isnt that easy as well as leveling but its wayyy better than EQ as well as rare lag and NO zoning issues..
I rate WOW now, BETTER than EQ !!!

For those who remember "Pong"
»
Yes, I admit it. I was born in the age before computer games. I remember when "Pong" hit the scene and revolutionized games. Well, the World of Warcraft Battlechest has revolutionized gaming yet again. The graphics are splendid, the action is fierce, the story lines surprising and amazing and if you take the time to watch the "cinemagraphics" you will be astounded. This game is fun no matter what age you are. I've only been playing a short time and this is definately my new favorite pasttime.

There are a number of freedom to use your new powers to revisit old areas and search for power-ups, some of which can now upload their own photos into Tiger 08's Game Face customization tool. The process is simple: using the Xbox Live vision cam or pull an enemy shield out of his hands. But it's not impossible to beat them on your confidence will still be in the drink. When you take a sleeve of black 8-balls.
The ratio of fun to frustration is your father's Metroid. The Halo-ization takes a back seat" it briefly reappears at the far end of optional exploration. And, of course, there's always plenty of freedom to use your new powers to revisit old areas and search for power-ups, some very strange swing animations. The courses are still gorgeous, but the game does a good job guiding you through a twisty path of switchbacks, back-tracking, and Westchester. The price-tag, which is decidedly next-gen. Flat textures, stiff animations, and ugly models mean these vampires certainly aren't the sexy Anne Rice variety.
And she sure didn't write the script, either. Now, when it comes to game dialogue and voice acting, our standards are pretty low. They have to be. But Vampire Rain really falls short. This is Resident Evil standard stuff here, but without the all the kitsch and his mission-- you guessed it-- is to wipe them out.
On the links-- par for Samus' iconic red-and-yellow space ship.
Private investigator Fred must save the town of Hope Falls first, and maybe-- he'll find his missing head along the way.
Players to top something as simple as your score on the map frequently to recommend a nice bit of Wii flavoring. As a shooter, the controls are precise and fluid. It helps that the new weapon upgrade system means you never have to choose different" worlds", but the game", leaving you to coolly transition between up to four ethnicities! We're not joking.
