WoW is the MMORPG which has drawn in fans from all areas... Not just the fantasy buffs. It provides a world which will provide a hundred hours of enthralling exploration, a few hundred hours of learning to master your character's skills, and several thousand hours of trying to squeeze the game for some enjoyment which might take you back to the levels of enjoyment you felt when it was all new. It's definitely worth the $20 for a total of 50 days in the world. Beyond the first couple months however, it's a dangerous world to remain in.
