Would you play WOW on your mobile phone?

Mobile gaming is garbage, so no.

How do you even play a proper game on a touch screen? You can't put in any proper commands and precision is terrible. Best thing I can think of that would work is turn based stuff like Golden Sun, or visual novels.

Even XCOM would be a pain as you would probably end up "misclicking" (mistouching?) all the time.

I feel as if WoW is far to complicated of a game to platform onto a mobile device. That being said, there are definitely RPG's that would succeed on a mobile platform, however, WoW has such a massive player field your phone might explode.

[chubbybunny]

that would make even more phone zombies...

[GreenJesus]

LUL Imagine if they made it cross-platform and they could join LFG and LFR of PC players.

Y'all don't have an adequate sense of impending doom. What were computers like when WoW came out compared to a decent smart phone today? Now, about those people who have been clamoring for Vanilla ...

[Queen of Hamsters]

It'd be entirely possible for a version such as Classic. It wouldn't be smooth, but possible.

But current WoW? Hell no.

[Elfezen]

I would if you could play for free just by buying the game and subscription was optional for bonuses

gottem boys

i dont get it

[zimboombafoo]

unless they watered down all classes to 6 or less abilities how could this possibly work? i could see it working for games like ultima online but complex games like wow? it would have to be a completely different game.

[Kanegasi]

I already do sometimes at work, if I want to do something simple like use the mission table with addon benefits instead of the app.

this.

and as a proof that we are FAR away from wow on the tablet/phone: they stopped supporting the mobile and web version of wows auction house this week, because of too much investment for too less ppl using it. that step dont look like they are already planing mobile stuff for wow. praise the lord

[Schattenlied]

The article says "World of Warcraft" and called it a franchise... but WoW itself isn't a franchise, it's part of the Warcraft franchise, so I think they probly just mean "Warcraft".

They will likely release a strategy game on mobile or something. Whether or not I'd play that depends entirely on whether or not it's any good... And by play it I mean on a PC android emulator, not on an actual phone... Or at least a large screen tablet.

WoW wouldn't work on a mobile device

You might however see a Diablo mobile/PC crossover like Hearthstone.

They do, they just like to put the logo of World of Warcraft on a lot of things, books, mega bloks, etc.

I too, think it's just a WoW universe game, not the MMO itself on mobile.

[Pull My Finger]

No. I'm one of the few sane people left. Phones are useless and impractical.

[Calfredd]

Games are not for all, that's what I say because not all people will truly understand the usefulness of games, their mood improving power, their ability to change your state of mind for the better, how they affect you in a good way. And suppose you play unblocked games, when you can never be blocked, it's fantastic indeed!

Did you seriously bump this thread to advertise your website?

[Orby]

I would go jump in a fire if they announce Warcraft 4 at it will be on Mobile :*(

[Zka]

No fucking way. It's not possible to make these 3D games enjoyable on a mobile device. These onscreen tap-joysticks make me scream.

[babyback]

There are already several mobile mmorpgs out there that is making a lot of money. I’m pretty sure that we will eventually see a simplified stand alone mobile version for WoW.
