5 motivos para jogar WORLD OF WARCRAFT e 5 motivos para não jogar

5 motivos para jogar WORLD OF WARCRAFT e 5 motivos para não jogar

World of Warcraft acaba de ser lan�ado no Brasil, totalmente traduzido para o nosso portugu�s brasileiro. Isso atraiu a aten��o de quem j� jogava, e tamb�m de quem nunca tinha jogado este famoso MMO. Mas, ser� que vale a pena jogar World of Warcraft? Se voc� est� com esta d�vida, a gente te ajuda: listamos 5 motivos para voc� jogar � e 5 motivos para voc� n�o jogar � World of Warcraft!

Porque voc� deve jogar World of Warcraft

1 � Ele � o melhor MMO, mais est�vel e est� h� mais tempo no mercado

H� quem discuta isto, mas os n�meros n�o mentem. World of Wacraft � o MMORPG mais jogado do mundo, est� h� mais de 7 anos no mercado e � constantemente atualizado com patches e expans�es que realmente aumentam a experi�ncia de jogo. Al�m disso, seu universo � muito bem consolidado e equilibrado, e os bugs no jogo s�o rar�ssimos.

2 � Conhecer pessoas

T�, voc� deve estar pensando: �Eu n�o sou �forever alone� para precisar conhecer um bando de nerds jogando WoW!�. Se atualize, meu caro! Conhecer gente em MMO deixou de ser algo esquisito e muita gente faz boas amizades neste ambiente. At� casais j� se formaram, ou seja, � tamb�m uma chance de voc� desencalhar, e de quebra conhecer umaffair que tamb�m gosta de games (tomando, � claro,  as devidas precau��es se for conhecer seu par pessoalmente).

Viu s�? Pessoas bonitas tamb�m jogam WoW... NOT!

3 � Disponibilidade no Brasil

O jogo est� oficialmente em nosso pa�s desde o in�cio da semana e, embora os servidores estejam meio lotados, a barreira idiom�tica � que ainda assusta muita gente � foi quebrada, pois o jogo todo est� em portugu�s. Al�m disso, agora ningu�m mais precisa ficar emprestando o cart�o de cr�dito internacional de outra pessoa para pagar as mensalidades: voc� pode pagar tudo em reais, at� por boleto banc�rio!

4 � Uma boa experi�ncia PvP

Apesar de n�o ser um jogo voltado totalmente �s partidas Player vs Player, WoW tem um sistema interessante de arenas, battlegrounds e duelos com boas recompensas, modalidades que com certeza agregam um fator replay quase ilimitado, e v�o te deixar muito entretido se voc� curte batalhar contra outros jogadores.

5 � Alta customiza��o de personagem e itens

World of Warcraft possui atualmente 12 ra�as diferentes (somando a Horda e a Alian�a), 10 classes e 11 profiss�es diferentes, ou seja, voc� pode customizar seu personagem demais de 1300 maneiras diferentes! Al�m disso cada ra�a possui seus pr�prios itens e habilidades, o que faz com que um personagem nunca seja igual ao outro no vasto mundo de Azeroth.

Op��es de customiza��o n�o faltam em WoW.

Porque voc� n�o deve jogar World of Warcraft

1 � Aliena��o e V�cio

O maior problema de todos os jogadores que conseguiram largar WoW � o v�cio. Por ser um jogo muito imersivo, que mexe com fama, status e gan�ncia, � normal jogadores se viciarem no jogo. Jogatinas de 8 horas seguidas s�o normais para quem quer ser realmente bom no jogo. E para ficar muito bom, infelizmente voc� vai precisar de muitas, muitas horas no jogo. Quer ser um jogador casual e jogar s� de vez em quando? Sem problemas, mas voc� ser� um �n00b�, constantemente destru�do por jogadores muito mais fortes. O v�cio em WoW e uma vida social saud�vel s�o coisas bem dif�ceis de conciliar. Segue um exemplo da �evolu��o�de um jogador de WoW abaixo:

Cuidado: o v�cio em WoW pode acabar com sua vida social. E com a sua imagem.

2 � Custo mensal, al�m do pre�o das expans�es

O valor do jogo est� menos de 30 reais com a primeira expans�o, que deixa voc� ir at� o level 70. Mas para adquirir cada expans�o � que s�o indispens�veis para continuar evoluindo no jogo � voc� ter� que desembolsar 99 reais por cada, al�m da mensalidade para poder jogar, que fica em 15 pratas. 15 reais at� pode ser barato, mas botando na ponta do l�pis, voc� gastar� 180 reais por ano, grana que poderia muito bem ser investida em outra coisa.

3 � Repetitividade

Grind � uma termo ingl�s muito utilizado por jogadores de WoW. Livremente traduzida para o portugu�s, grind significaria algo como �trabalho duro�. E isso n�o � por acaso: emWoW seu personagem inicia no level 1, e para chegar ao level 85 (que � level m�ximo do jogo), voc� ter� que repetir o ciclo �pegar quest � matar bichos � entregar quest� praticamente o jogo inteiro. Ao chegar no level 85 a coisa muda, e o grind vira buscar itens em cavernas e mais cavernas at� encontrar o que voc� estava buscando.

4 � Muito complexo

Aos primeiros n�veis o jogo � simples e intuitivo, mas quando voc� come�ar a fazer raids, ter� que instalar plugins para conseguir executar melhor sua fun��o no grupo, tornando sua tela mais ou menos isso:

Quem � veterano no WoW pode achar que isso � piada, mas a quantidade de informa��es na tela pode assustar jogadores menos experientes. Sem contar todos os atalhos de comandos no mouse e no teclado, que devem ser customizados minunciosamente para uma experi�ncia de jogo realmente satisfat�ria.

5 � Existem jogos melhores

Apesar de possuir constantes expans�es e atualiza��es, WoW � um jogo datado, e seu n�cleo permanece basicamente o mesmo. O fator custo x divers�o pode ser atingido facilmente com v�rios outros t�tulos, mesmo games que n�o s�o MMOs. Por exemplo: o recente The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, eleito pela revista Arkade como o melhor RPG do ano (spoilerzinho da edi��o de dezembro, exclusivo pra voc� que acompanha nosso blog!)

Ficam as nossas dicas, aspirante � jogador de WoW: pondere estes pontos positivos e negativos, fa�a sua escolha e boa jogatina (ou n�o)!
