Be careful your time has come.
Choose an alliance, sharpen your skills, and make your mark on Azeroth history. World of Warcraft is the first MMOG in the four part Warcraft series, with previous Warcraft titles being RTS games. Like most MMOs, players may find adventure in fighting many kinds of monsters and in performing missions given by various NPCs throughout Azeroth.
In World of Warcraft, victory in these endeavors yield rewards in the form of currency, loot and experience. Gamers may also take part in PvP battles in the forms of dueling and fights with players of different factions. In the early to middle stages of exploration around Azeroth, most monsters and quests can be handled solo. Beyond that point, nonetheless, more and more gameplay will necessitate a good team of players, generally two to five in number. Large-scale raids can require up to 40 players to succeed. At level 40, players can buy a mount based on their character’s reputation and race, which can be summoned on demand. These are expensive to buy and train, but add to the player’s status and greatly raise their speed of travel.
