The game is in impressive shape. It’s become commonplace to ship MMORPGs with buggy clients, but Blizzard’s program is very stable. The servers are almost as reliable — four overloaded servers have experienced extended downtime at time of writing, but over 40 more are up and performing well.
Although it’s not as technologically proficient as EverQuest II, World of Warcraft has a more pronounced sense of style. Its cartoony characters and rickety buildings are colorful and lively, and you’ll spend your first few intercity flights gawking at the view. Some zones suffer from a limited palette, but this is minor. Warcraft does have a few flashy effects. When you die, the world turns black-and-white and ethereal, much like the effect in Jackson’s Lord of the Rings when Frodo put on the ring.

In other words, use require() if you want a missing file to halt processing of the page. include() does not behave this way, the script will continue regardless. Be sure to have an appropriate include_path setting as well. Be warned that parse error in included file doesn't cause processing halting in PHP versions prior to PHP 4.3.5. Since this version, it does.
