Fanaticism akin to Beatle-mania greeted the launch of this expansion pack. Either these people are all crazy, or the game itself is so wonderful that it’s not to be missed at any cost. If you have time to pass this  on line game can be incredibly rewarding.

Reviews :
1.It’s very easy to insult WoW players (thankfully for you), but the fact is it commands the attention of ~40 times the players EvE does. I’m guessing you must be right and everyone else must be wrong/idiots/ignorant.
EvE is very niche, and frankly most people find the game play dull – myself included after the initial ‘wow factor’ wore off. It also is more unfriendly towards newcomers than any other game I’ve played thanks to the real time skill levelling system.

2. A decent review doesn’t just list the features of the game but explains the reviewers experiences and thoughts with them which makes for a more interesting piece.

3.Surely this EVE/WoW comparison is apples and oranges. EVE is much more complex and involved than WoW, while WoW is far more accessible and better for the casual player or those new to MMORPGs.

4.it is impossible for a  newcomer. EvE has a very limited player base because while the game is quite good, it is difficult to attract new players when the existing ones will simply blast you out of the sky at the first encounter.
WoW is really well-designed, and appeals to both the casual gamer and the hard-core raider.
