World of Warcraft (commonly abbreviated as WoW) is a class-based massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) that was created by Blizzard Entertainment. In an MMORPG you will find yourself playing the same game at the same time with people around the World. You will be able to interact with someone from Florida while you’re in California without having to pay long distance charges. You are playing in a real time chat and play environment and your decisions can shape your character. If you are into the gaming world, you have likely heard of Blizzard before and some of their other games such as Warcraft and Starcraft.
History
So what is the story behind World of Warcraft? What is it all about anyway? Well, this is the story of the Third War and the founding of The New Age. The history of Azeroth is filled with tales of war and struggles. The most destructive conflict know to the world is the invasion of the demonic Burning Legion. They planned their return to the mortal world over the course of many centuries. Four years ago, all of this planning came to action.
If you have played World Of Warcraft before then you might already understand the story line and have a good idea for what is going on here. But even if you haven’t, you can pick up everything really quick. The controls and overall game play are also easy to figure out.
Gameplay
So now that you understand a little more about the history of the game (also called lore of the game), just what is the game play all about anyway? What is the point of the game? Well, the great thing about MMORPGs is that there are many different objectives and the point of the game depends a lot on what type of player you choose to be.
In general, your goals are going to be to level your character. You are also going to want to complete quests (which help you level and give you things). You are going to want to level your professional skills. This means you become better at your profession and you are able to make better items to use or sell for profit. You also want to make money. The key point of making gold is to buy a mount. (We explain this later). But there are other reasons why you need money in the game. Money can be used for buying items at auction, bartering with other players, travel, buying healing and mana potions and many other items you need in game.
In an MMORPG you’ll never have to worry about saving your game! Everything is saved server side so even if your computer crashes you can start up right where you left off. You can quickly quit the game and never have to worry about saving! You do not have to be online to receive anything in the mail because the server will save it for you and once you log on you could grab it!
It also costs you money to learn new skills as you advance in levels and it costs money to repair yourself after damage. So you can see that you need a good way to keep money coming in and to stay productive.
