World Of Warcraft Reviews

If you're a World of Warcraft fanatic (like members of our family!) then you know there are two ways to play this wildly-popular computer game:

==> You muddle through, making a zillion mistakes, hoping you can figure it out before you go Stark-Raving-Mad ...
==> You short-cut your progress by learning from the experts who are willing to share their knowledge and you eliminate your mistakes while progressing quickly - in other words, have fun ...

In our huge family, we have a lot of WoW fans and we took an unofficial survey of gamers and their friends, asking which guides they like the best. Here are their choices in order.

#2: DUGI'S ULTIMATE WORLD OF WARCRAFT GUIDE

Dugi's World of Warcraft guide has been created by Dave Farwell (Dugi), a WOW expert with over 7860 hours of play time to his credit. The guide includes information about different aspects of the game including leveling, professions, PVP, making gold, and much more. What's equally important is that it's regularly updated so as to be up-to-date with game patches and expansions.

The Guide has three general sections.

#1: Section One covers pages 1-80 and it's a leveling guide covering all classes for the Alliance and the Horde. Like all good guides, it uses an in-game leveling add-on to make it as easy to use as possible. This in-game guide is great because you don't have to switch back and forth between the game and the guide like in some other guides.

The setup process is easy and configures itself depending on your current character. You'll learn exactly where to go, who to talk with and what to do. The guide keeps a marker on your map and shows a directional arrow on your screen after you accept a quest. The marker and arrow will lead you to the next step in the quest.

Something that you see in this guide, and don't find in other guides, is that their talent guide is also in-game. You can just select the given templates which assign your talent points to the best spec for your character.

#2: Section Two concerns itself with making gold. Something to remember is that you won't need to farm gold when you're leveling to 80. The quests that you do in the first part will provide you with pretty much all the funding you need during that phase. It's really only after you've leveled up that you'll be able to really make bank anyway.

Having said that, the gold-making guide does teach you how to make gold quickly for your mounts at levels 30 and 60 since having them makes leveling that much faster. The main focus of the gold guide is where to go to farm rare items, and how to win the auction house game. You can also learn leveling up every Profession with the gold guide.

#3: Section Three - the third and final section of the Ultimate World of Warcraft Guide teaches you how to be successful in player versus player (PVP) combat. This is probably one of the best parts of the guide. Combat types are covered in detail, and it teaches you what you should do in order to win from any class and race combination that you may face in WoW. You learn about which talents you should choose for every battle. There are even macros that you can copy.

The Ultimate WoW Guide has just about every aspect of World of Warcraft explained in detail. There's a huge amount of information that you get from this guide - more than any other guide! Other guides normally cover one aspect of game play and the info you get from this guide is better than those individual guides.

#3: ZYGOR GUIDES

The Zygor Leveling Guides were created by John Cook and are designed to enable World of Warcraft players to quickly increase their level. Unlike the first two we've recommended, this program limits itself to leveling up in the game - although that covers a LOT of territory. With the new Zygor Guide you don't have to switch back and forth between screens so you can keep your attention on the game play.

There are two separate screen modes. One is a large picture view that shows you all of the steps that you need to complete to advance your character in the quests. Players do not use this modes a lot because the amount of information affects the game play.

The second screen mode is smaller and shows the current and next steps that you need to complete the current quest. A small arrow shows you the direction in which you need to travel to reach the next encounter or step in the quest.

Zygor's Leveling Guide is an easy to use guide for new players and it's the least intrusive one. You can learn from the guide increase your character's level.

A great thing about such guides is its interactive components. There are only a few guides that are designed with an in-game guide mode.

A very good feature included in Zygor Guide is that it includes waypoints. Players who have used the original version of this Guide will remember that it was full of waypoints and was loaded with so much information that it was almost impossible to use in an efficient manner. As opposed to the old design, the new Zygor Guide gives you only the waypoint for the quest that you have highlighted. You are given a clear map window and when you move your cursor to a waypoint you will be shown the steps that you need when you arrive at this new location. This comes in handy and new players will greatly appreciate this latest feature.

With the option feature provided, players can change window opacity and increase and decrease the size of on-screen guides, waypoints and icons. A starter guide for each race is included in everyone one of the in-game leveling guides.

For instance, you're playing as an Alliance character. Zygor's In-Game Alliance Leveling Guide includes a Starter Guide for Gnome, Dwarf, Draenei, Night Elf, and the Human races.

And if you are playing as Horde character The In-Game Horde Leveling Guide includes a Starter Guide for the, Orc, Troll, Blood Elf, Tauren, and Undead races.

The Zygor In-Game Alliance and Horde Guide offer a good learning solution - especially for players who have recently entered the WoW arena. These in-game guides enable you to quickly increase your level. Players who have a high level can access special areas of WOW where the competition is also high.

#4: HAYDEN'S WORLD OF WARCRAFT SECRET GOLD GUIDE
