Simply amazing. Astounding.

This game is free. You get Heavenward for free with a trial account. You have no excuse not to play it.

An expansion that "redefines" what an MMO can be via its "Main Story Quest". A story of the cycles of revenge, done in a satisfying way wrapped in a medieval political conspiracy. It has to be played to understand the hype.

The music in this game is excellent, perfectly matching the large city, or boss fights. It's surprising how much detailed presentation through the game's story focus and music can make an "easy" boss an experience. An accomplishment I didn't think possible as I'd often been a critic of WoW's "easy mode" raid difficulties.

The ending to "Dragonsong" is everything the ending to WoW's Cataclysm expansion should have been and playing through this feels cathartic, seeing an MMO expansion with a dragon antagonist ending on a perfect note.

There's not more to say without spoiling it, just go and play it. You have no excuse not to, providing you have the time to sink and I ensure you it will be time well spent.

The only filter on this is I have to play the main campaign first. You hyped it well though. If I can ever breach more of the main campaign to this grub I definitely will.
