World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade

First there was WARCRAFT, Reign of Chaos, which is Warcraft III; this took a very graphical rise from Warcraft I and II; oddly, I liked those games better, to be honest.
But at least Warcraft III and it’s expansion set, FROZEN THRONE, you could play by yourself *without* going on the internet. Suprise, suprise some people do not like to play online!
I’m just not the kind of person who likes to go on the internet to play games. It’s just a preference of mine. I purchased WORLD OF WARCRAFT EXPANSION; BURNING CRUSADE from Wal-Mart and had to return it. Why? YOU CANNOT PLAY BURNING CRUSADE WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION; IT IS IN FACT MANDATORY, so I said forget it and returned it. I was NOT aware of this fact when I purchased it; I assumed it was just another expansion like Frozen Throne.
YOU HAVE TO READ THE VERY FINE PRINT–SO BEWARE, IF YOU PLAN TO PLAY THIS WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION–DO NOT PURCHASE BECAUSE YOU CAN’T.
For the millions of online Warcraft addicts out there, more power to you–and it requires a subscription to keep at it. Which means ongoing costs. You are also required to have BROADBAND internet (mandatory). That by itself (along with cable television) is about $80 a month. (By the way, I’m one of those people who rarely turns on the television-and when I do it’s almost always to watch DVDs).
I’m giving this one star due to the requirement of Internet only and NOT being clear about it–you have to read the VERY FINE PRINT. It’s not obvious on the box.
SHAME ON YOU BLIZZARD!

The original World of Warcraft was a huge leap forward in graphical RPGs. I’ve never had more fun or been more addicted to a game. As a result, I was extremely excited to get my copy of the expansion pack in the mail. I rushed upstairs, sat through the hour of installation and patch downloads and went to log on. Disconnected from Server. Every attempt to log on resulted in this message almost immediately. Attempts to contact Blizzard Technical Support were a wasted effort. Their phone line is constantly busy, they don’t respond to emails, and they ignored every forum post by the myriad number of users facing the same problem. Since you are asked to upgrade your account to a Burning Crusade account upon starting installation, I was unable to go back and play the original game sans expansion pack. I have been forced to cancel my account with Blizzard and will never buy another product of theirs. Highly recommend passing this one up.
