http://www.EliteWOW.info World of Warcraft is what is known as a massive multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG. The game is set in "Warcraft Universe", a fantasy land made up of "realms". Warcraft: Orcs And Humans was the first version of the game. Azeroth is the name of the world which the game is set in, and is four years after the end of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. It became available for sale on November 23rd, 2004, 10 years after the Warcraft franchise began. The are more monthly World Of Warcraft members than any other online game. It also has the Guinness World Record of being the most popular MMORPG. World of Warcraft has a subscriber base of 16,000,000 individuals at this time.
"Burning Crusade" was the first expansion pack released, in January 2007. The follow-up to that, Wrath Of The Lich King, was published later that year.
This is not a real-time strategy game. Players choose a character embodiment, and this is who they are in the game. They are in constant interaction with other players, while exploring the land and combating with monsters of all types. Like most other MMORPGs, players must pay for a subscription to play the game. This can be done by either buying game cards to play for a select amount of time sold by retailers, or paying regularly through a credit or debit card.
To start playing World of Warcraft, each player has to choose a realm or server to play on. The "realm" is simply an "instance" in the game world. The realm classes are Player versus player or Player versus environment. There are many different versions of roleplay available, and may move their set characters among different realms if they pay for this.
Once picking the realm, a player can choose to use one of their past characters or create a new one. Alliance or Horde are the two types of factions that every character must choose between. Characters must be of the same faction if they would like to "talk" to each other, group together, or make "deals". The last step is selecting the class and race of the character. There are also many skills that can be learned. Characters can be played a few various ways - by themselves, or within a "group".
Although there have been occasional "bugs" found in the game, it is apparent that most players enjoy the game so much that they don't appear to mind the odd quirk. They are not averse to paying the fees to play it, either.
