World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft, or WoW as it is known in gaming circles, is one of the biggest roleplaying games of all time.

World of Warcraft is an MMORPG or massive mutliplayer online role-playing game. It is focused around the story of the games Warcraft I to III which were produced by Blizzard throughout the 90’s and early 2000.

You may choose to be on Alliance (good guys) or Horde (bad dudes). Each side has four different races with different unique bonuses which range from humans to elves to orcs. Each race has access to different classes which you can then choose to play.

By far the thing that makes Wow so popular is the unending amount of content that is added to the game. The world is already huge and Blizzard update it regularly with new quests, items and places to discover. There are two expansions, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King that have been released that also provide a massive boost to the content of the game including new races and classes. A third expansion has also been announced: Cataclysm.

Other benefits to World of Warcraft include a huge social network with 1000s of players on each server and heaps of end game adventures and challenges to complete. Due to the nature of the game it can be played and enjoyed by all ages.
