Op/Ed: Top Five Misconceptions About World of Warcraft
Posted March 7th, 2008 by Shayalyn
WoW, What a Misconception!
A lot of people have misconceptions about World of Warcraft. Examples include "WoW requires you to devote your life to it" and "you can never obtain good gear with just average skill." We've taken what we believe to be the top five and set the facts straight about them in our latest opinion piece, Top Five Misconceptions About World of Warcraft.

The reality is that out of all of the MMOGs I've played, WoW is one of the few that actually allows you to play when you want, where you want, and how you want. With the expansion, World of the Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, things were changed so that you don't even need to spend massive amounts of time to progress to elite (purple) gear with changes to the battlegrounds and most instances being broken into wings.
