About this product

Product Information

Azeroth, the world of Blizzard's famously popular WarCraft games, is brought to life in this ongoing, online adventure, welcoming millions of player-controlled Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, Trolls, and other creatures to explore its lands and exploit its secrets. While many other persistent-world RPGs have offered the basic premise of warriors and wizards in a fantasy realm, World of WarCraft has the advantage of featuring the series' familiar incarnations of warriors and wizards, and of being based on an established fantasy world beloved by gamers since the success of the original Orcs & Humans in 1994.<br><br>At its launch, the game is set four years after the events of WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos. The war-weary peoples of Azeroth are beginning to rebuild, but toward an uncertain future. World of WarCraft offers a total of eight playable races. Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Night Elves make up the Alliance, while Orcs, Tauren, Trolls, and Undead represent the Horde. <br><br>Classes available to player characters include Paladin, Rogue, Priest, Hunter, Warlock, Druid, Warrior, Mage, and Shaman. Some classes are exclusive to characters of certain races; only Humans and Dwarves may become Paladins, for example, and only Tauren and Night Elves may become Druids. Other classes, such as the Rogue or the Priest, may be assumed by characters of almost any race. Each class is gifted with a selection of distinct, supernatural powers, many of which will be immediately recognizable by veterans of the WarCraft real-time strategy games.<br><br>World of WarCraft is designed to be more forgiving than other contemporary online RPGs. The only real "death penalty" the game imposes is minor wear and tear on equipment (no experience point loss or debt), and characters that haven't logged on for a while gain a temporary bonus that helps them level more quickly, to catch up with companions that play more regularly.<br><br>The game world offers plenty of "player versus environment" opportunities, for exploration, monster slaying, and resource collection. Horde and Alliance characters can battle against one another as well, under a variety of conditions that depend in part on the type of game server (which players can choose when creating their characters).<br><br>The persistent, online version of Azeroth is home to six major cities, some of which also may be familiar to fans of earlier WarCraft games. Each city is a hub for quests, character services, and player interaction. A city's taverns are good places to find other, like-minded adventurers. If they make the right connections, player characters can obtain relatively inexpensive travel from one city to another -- on the backs of winged beasts such as Griffons and Wind Riders.

    For the Horde...<3

    Brings me back to my older years in which Vanilla was out and they only had four races each faction... I fell in love with the Horde faction of course and glad I got into the Warcraft series thanks to it's Real Time Strategy games also known as RTS for short. Then I did play World of Warcraft, and got into the series... Still too I been sticking with the Horde faction for the long time now. so thank you in letting me get this cover I have been waiting for a long time, and shouild have bought it when I seen it in stores...

    World of Warcraft PC Game

    The World of Warcraft PC game has wonderful introductory graphics, which out-shine the graphics in the game itself. Access to this multi-user game requires monthly subscription fees that are not disclosed during purchase, and are not discovered until the game is installed and an attempt to play prompt the payment alert. The use of the PC mouse must be supplemented by use of the keyboard arrow keys in order to navigate the locations in the game. These functions leave much to be desired in terms of efficiency, speed and accuracy. Add-on modules are no longer used by the currently upgraded game, despite their widespread sale across many markets. According to the game's support department, previous modules have been integrated into the current upgraded game. This review only addresses the game in levels lower than 10, at which point the game states that everything will be enhanced and improved. For enthusiast with lots of free time (and resources) World of Warcraft might be appealing. For those who anticipate a graphic single-player adventure game, with lots of actions and reactions, other game might be more appealing. Despite the ubiquitous playing of this game, it can only be recommended to a very select group of gamers; particularly those who don't mind tedium.
