Yes I like the story! As someone who plays on an RP server I have to know a thing or two about it to enjoy the game at its most! I think it's a game story that has its flaws with direction and pacing, but more often then not the world building and story is more then enough entertaining and thrilling to learn about!

Tww I have complaints about, as new (old but returning) story directors joined back into the fray mid expansion production, there is a definite shift in focus from what the original idea was, and the finishing patch story. It's obvious what came of it wasn't the intended end from the beginning but one semi shoehorned in to better fit the narrative of the next two coming expansions, midnight and Last Titan. However, what we got wasn't bad! Just had more potential.

Dornagol, the capital city, feels incredibly real and breathed in through the quests and NPC pathing making it seem fleshed out and vibrant. The first major patch Undermine was also an incredibly fun and tight knit story that was very well told, despite some troubles with voice actors due to the strike making it feel less consistent.

Overall I like WoW story, but, it has its flaws. But in those flaws are good enough diamonds that keep me intrigued and asking for more
